The right to freedom of speech as one of the basic human rights is in main international human rights documents. As the reach becomes greater so does the government's paranoia .
They have used section 66 (A) to turn online communication into a virtual minefeild. The government has chosen to stand by as a mute spectator.The users of social media have become cautious. It's not clear what is the purpose of section66 (A).
It's like having a single provision covering murder, assualt and nuisance and prescribing the same penalty for all of them. Laws needs to be very clear about what they want.
As a country we look to imitate the west, and often copy it badly.
If someone out there speak his/her mind being a part of this country has a right to express.
The people who think that India is so fragile that it can collapse under the weight of 140 characters of a tweet are mistaken.
Speak out your mind so as not to be called cowards by our coming generations and bring the change for better India.
