Question

Accepted Answer

Following early friction regarding freedom of speech and international geopolitics, the First Constitutional Amendment Act of 1951 inserted 'friendly relations with foreign states' along with 'public order' and 'incitement to an offense' into Article 19(2). Its intent is to prevent systematic, malicious campaigns inside India that intentionally aim to ruin sovereign diplomatic ties with friendly foreign nations.
