Freedom under Article 19 of the Constitution of India are:

Sacrosanct and inalienable Absolute without any restriction Subject to reasonable restriction Both (a) & (C)

Both (a) & (C)

Article 19 also provides 'reasonable restrictions' on these freedoms, which means that these rights are conditional. The State can 'reasonably' limit or take away the right to 'freedom of speech and expression' when there is a threat to the sovereignty and integrity of India, or the security of the State, or friendly relations with foreign States, or public order, or decency or morality, or in relation to contempt of court, or defamation or incitement to an offence. For example, the State can prohibit someone from making inciting speeches that may provoke others to commit violence.
