“Many members of the Assembly were disappointed with the numerous exceptions which had been created against each of the freedoms set out in the right to freedom, including the right to free speech. For instance, K.T. Shah said that 'what is given by one right hand seems to be taken away by three or four or five left hands, and therefore the article is rendered nugatory in my opinion.' Lakshmi Narayan Sahi cited an Oriya proverb which translates as follows: 'It is no use making a house with so small entrance that one's entry into the house is rendered difficult without striking his head against the door frame.”
Abhinav Chandrachud, Republic of Rhetoric: Free Speech and the Constitution of India

“The law thus believed that those who read Indian language newspapers were 'ignorant and unintelligent', and that by contrast, only those who were capable of reading English language newspapers were informed and intelligent.”
Abhinav Chandrachud, Republic of Rhetoric: Free Speech and the Constitution of India

“Truth Immaterial: It was no defence for a person accused of sedition to argue that what he had said was true. Quoting an Irish judge, Justice Mookerjee of the Calcutta High Court in one case held, 'the greater the truth, the greater the libel'.”
