Solution
Democracy is meaningless if civil liberties, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom from unreasonable arrest are not protected by the State. The Constitution of India guarantees to the citizen's freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion and the right to form Associations or unions.
