The free speech philosophy as enshrined in our Constitution had a robust growth in the fertile soil of Indian democracy. The primacy of the people and their empowerment is the core of our basic document and right to free speech and expression as enunciated in Art. 19 (1) (a) is a guarantee to the citizens to achieve this noble objective. Our judiciary gathered the spirit of Constitution in its best way and furthered the width and ambit of right to free speech and expression subject only to limited restrictions. The times went on. The mode of speech and expression also took different forms. Whereas press was the major means of public communication earlier, now, television and internet have taken over. Television is the tool in the hands of limited number of players only and more or less, it is under certain self-enacted restrictions. Whereas, internet or cyber world, thanks to its high penetration levels, is a medium for the large masses to express their thoughts and opinions. What was earlier limited to mouth to mouth conversation can now be a public affair in cyber space. This paper is going to discuss how constitution of India defined about free speech, Information and Technology Act, 2000 provisions relating to free speech, important judicial pronouncements on free speech in India relating to free speech.
