In a move that has sparked widespread concern among activists and advocates for free speech, India has recently implemented a new law that critics argue could amount to a significant clampdown on the freedom of expression. The legislation, which comes amid a broader debate on the balance between security concerns and individual liberties, has ignited discussions about its potential implications on democratic values.
