As India commemorates 75 years of its constitution, there is a growing call for law enforcement agencies to have a better understanding of free speech and civil liberties. The importance of upholding these fundamental rights has been emphasized by various stakeholders in light of recent events that have raised concerns about freedom of expression in the country. The need for police personnel to be well-versed in the nuances of free speech and its protection under the law has become increasingly evident. With the rise of social media and digital communication platforms, the boundaries of free speech have expanded, making it essential for law enforcement to navigate these complexities while respecting individuals’ right to express themselves. As India continues to strive for a more inclusive and democratic society, it is crucial for the police to play a proactive role in safeguarding the right to free speech while maintaining public order. By fostering a culture of respect for diverse viewpoints and ensuring that individuals can freely express their opinions without fear of reprisal, law enforcement agencies can contribute to a more open and democratic society. As the country reflects on the progress made in upholding constitutional values over the past 75 years, it is imperative that the police are adequately trained and sensitized to uphold the principles of free speech and civil liberties in a rapidly evolving social and political landscape.
