What ever happened to the freedom of speech?? Oh wait, our beloved constitution imposes very strict controls on it. Article 19(1) guarantees the fundamental freedoms, while 19(2) slowly erodes these freedoms by placing subjective tests on them such as "morality", "decency" etc. Also remember, our antiquated IPC has Section 295, which means that giving offense, in word or deed, is a crime. However, I believe this does not go far enough. Include "thought". IPC 295 must be interpreted in a way such that even thinking of giving offense is a crime. Only that way, will we be truly "free".....wait, I think I've contradicted myself. That's not a crime, is it?
