India is already struggling with freedom of speech under Modi government
Modi ate your all candy again? Tongue

For starters India never had a complete freedom of speech. if anyone says otherwise then S/he telling a big fat lie.

Section 153 A in The Indian Panel code criminalize "Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony"

Section 292 in The Indian Panel code criminalize "Sales of obscene books, etc"

Section 295A in The Indian Panel code criminalize "Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage reli­gious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or reli­gious beliefs."

Section 298 criminalize "Uttering, words, etc., with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of any person."

To make things worse we still have colonial Sedition act "Section 124"

From time to time every regime use this to curb freedom of speech. Ask anyone who experienced Emergency or Salman Rusdi, Leslee Udwin, Wendy Doniger.

and now it seems to include financial freedom!
Financial Freedom is big word and problem is not with Modi/Opposition/Any party line but i would say we failed as a society as far as FF is concern and leaders are a reflection of society. The real problem i see is we fought for our Independence but we never had any kind of revolution for FF. if we Indians actually wants Financial Independence then we need massive movement similar to Independence movement despite our differences and reforms, massive reforms.

Finance Ministry of our country is in crisis right now. We currently have the most incompetent finance minister of the last 20 years.
Arguably one of the weakest player in the current cabinet in the name of Women empowerment. There are some rumors going around that KV Kamath might replace her in the near future.
