out of the league petitions. Sagar Suryawanshi

an Advocate. Therefore, he always encourages
people to be aware of their rights. In this
article, we will discuss the right to protest.

Many times we see that in our country lots of
protests, dissent, and movements are going on.
Looking at the evolutionary history of our
country, this is not something new. We all know
that a free India was never possible without
movements like Quit India, Swadeshi and
Satyagraha. As per the recent examples, 2019 saw
the protests against CAA laws, this was further
followed in 2020 by the protests against farmer
laws. But, is there any such right that allows
us to practice the same.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY
In any given democratic country, the most
important part of the country is its
citizens. Approximately, around 74 years ago,
Britishers were ruling India and unfortunately,
Indian citizens did not have any rights using
which they could fight against the Britishers.

RIGHT TO FORM ASSOCIATIONS
AND TRADE UNIONS
there is an important aspect to this right, which
is that these rights are not absolute. This
means that any common citizen just cant do
anything and everything using the name of the
right to protest. In article 19, there are a set
of conditions, violating which you cannot hold a
protest such as any protest that negatively
impacts the sovereignty, integrity, security of
the nation and impacts the relations with other
states.
