This week saw a number of incidents that brought into question the idea of free speech in India, as well as its limitations. From India's leading fact-checker Mohammed Zubair being arrested for a 4-year-old tweet, to the Supreme court judges who criticised the BJP's Nupur Sharma facing social media attacks themselves for their comments, all happening in a week where the PM joined the G7 in a pledge to 'protect free speech'. In the light of these developments, We The People asks - how free is speech in India, really?
