Today is 15th August. The day India won her freedom and independence. If you ask Google English to Hindi translator, both independence and freedom are translated as स्वतंत्रता. Is there a difference between these two concepts?
Can one be free despite being dependent?
Can one be independent despite not being free?
On a personal level, answer to the first question seems to be yes. One may get freedom to do X, *because* s/he is dependent on other people helping out in some other tasks.
What about being independent despite not having freedom? That seems impossible.
