        So , I like to write about some topics and make online posts about it. For my upcoming posts , I need to get some legal facts checked about the concept of speech freedom in our country. Personally , I thought we have the same level of free speech that US does , but I got to know I am wrong, so here I want to clarify certain things:

        1. Can you as an Indian have a personal opinion which is discriminatory but which you share in informal domain like social media apps ?

        (E.g : A lot of people have conservative or ‘sexist’ opinion about gender. Men and even women about dressing , manner they talk and conduct themselves , the ability to provide etc. Apart from formal environment , Now if you talk about it on social media , will that be illegal to provide such an opinion ? )

        2. If someone makes a public post on social media , will commenting in trolling or roasting qualify as an harassment ? (Ofc giving threats is illegal and punishable and so is making sexual remarks on an SFW post , but apart from that )

        A simple yes or no answer will do , however if you can provide any explanation to NO’s it will be helpful.

        Thanks for reading
