On 26 August 2025, the Supreme Court shed some light on what freedom of speech can mean in India with regard to community sentiments. The Court noted that although the Constitution provides the freedom of expression in Article 19(1)(a), it is not absolute and cannot be availed to intentionally insult or offend the feelings or religious beliefs of a group of people. That ruling was based on cases in which social media influencers and comedians had made objectionable remarks that were considered to be offensive to some communities. The Court noted that the influencers and the content creators need to be responsible when sharing their opinions on the open platform because abuse of freedom of speech can lead to social disharmony. The principle that constitutional rights are accompanied by responsibilities and restrictions is strengthened by the decision, where the thought of order, decency, or community peace is in jeopardy. In such a way, the Court established a precedent on the freedom of speech and sensitivity towards society, emphasising the responsibility of people on the Internet and in the real world.
