About The Book
Republic of Rhetoric by Abhinav Chandrachud offers a profound exploration of India’s legal and political history, with a particular focus on the right to free speech. This authoritative and compelling work delves into the evolution of free speech in India, from the colonial era to the present day, revealing that the enactment of the Indian Constitution in 1950 did not significantly alter the trajectory of freedom of expression in the country.
Chandrachud argues that colonial-era restrictions such as sedition, obscenity, contempt of court, defamation, and hate speech were not only retained but strengthened after independence. The book provides a lucid and cogent analysis, offering fresh and thought-provoking perspectives on a topic that has been largely underexplored by leading thinkers. Republic of Rhetoric is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of law, politics, and free speech in India.
