Joydip Ghosal · SSRN Electronic Journal · 2014
India presents a mix picture of laws and events on freedom of expression. On the one hand some laws restrict freedom of expression and on the other hand certain recent events and laws are making freedom of expression more liberal than it was ever before. Whereas a number of new challenges emerged globally on the topic of freedom of expression and number of measures have been taken to overcome those challenges but India’s position with regard to those challenges is in near-total absence. In such a situation India should settle its position with regard to freedom of expression in the areas of internet, privacy and copyright.
