Abstract

The preliminary chapter outlines the conceptual foundation of India’s free speech regime by focussing on the debates of the Constituent Assembly of India that took place between 1946 and 1949, and traces the development of Article 19 of the Constitution, which guarantees all citizens the right to free speech and expression, albeit with certain ‘reasonable restrictions’ such as public order, decency and morality, and security of the state, among others. While offering a synoptic account of the sundry forms that the right to free speech took as the framers navigated the discrepancies between their imagined ideal and the existent, conflicting reality, the idea is not to uncover some grand master-plan of the Indian democracy from which it has faltered, but to explore how it might lend a fissure to the violent accusations of offending religious, cultural, or national sentiments in contemporary India.
言论自由宪法
第一章概述了印度言论自由制度的概念基础,重点介绍了1946年至1949年间印度制宪会议的辩论,并追溯了宪法第19条的发展,该条保障所有公民享有言论和表达自由的权利,尽管有某些“合理的限制”,如公共秩序,体面和道德,以及国家安全等。本书对言论自由权的各种形式进行了概略的描述,作者在他们想象的理想与存在的、相互冲突的现实之间进行了探索,并不是要揭示印度民主制度的一些宏伟的总体规划,而是要探索它如何可能为冒犯当代印度宗教、文化或民族情感的暴力指控提供一个裂缝。
