Indian criminal laws being replaced many supposedly in response to recent violence but covers a lot more.

My primary observation is it heavily undermines freedom of speech criminalizes more vague blanket activities.

One prior complaint about Indian laws were it primarily protected women. As a departure from that, some of the new laws punishes a gender neutral manner but still only considers women as victims.

I am eager to see how this plays out and received by the public. Atleast for now, many are teeing these as focusing on religious lines and possibly along caste.
