    [abstract] => <p>The early human rights documents enumerate the concept of freedom of expression. The issues and concerns of freedom of expression and democracy in India are analyzed in this paper. India was subjected to 1000 years of slavery after the downfall of Buddhism. Indians were deprived of democracy because of the caste system and invasion of outsiders from Middle East and Europe. The national leaders had consciously adopted the parliamentary form of democracy in order to make the people of India sovereign republics and makers of democracy. <cite>The freedom of expression has been considered as a necessary condition for a democratic polity. </cite>The freedom of expression also carries with it duties and responsibilities which are subjected to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety. The freedom of speech and expression should receive generous support from all those who believe in the inclusive development of women and weaker sections who are the strong pillars of national democracy. The media have played a responsible role in the protection of freedom of expression in the wake of recent developments in Central University of Hyderabad, JNU, Delhi University and other centers of learning. In the new millennium, the electronic media and social media have played a crucial role in the battle against curtailment of freedom of expression and weakening of the foundations of democracy by the powers that be in Indian Republic.</p>
