Freedom of speech
Freedom of speech, Freedom of speech presupposes that right conclusions are more likely to be gathered out of a multitude of tongues than through any kind of authoritative selection. It rests on the assumption that the widest possible dissemination of information from as many diverse and antagonistic sources as possible is essential to the welfare of the public. It is function of the Press to disseminate news from as many different sources and with as many different facts and colours as possible. A citizen is entirely dependent on the Press for the quality, proportion and extent of his news supply. In such a situation, the exclusive and continues advocacy of one point of view through the medium of a newspaper which holds a monopolistic position is not conductive to the formation of healthy public opinion. If the newspaper industry is concentrated in a few hands, the chance of an idea antagonistic to the idea of the owners getting access to the market becomes very remote. But our consti...

Begar
Begar, It is a word of Indian origin which like many other words has found its way in the English vocabulary. It is very difficult to formulate a precise definition of the word 'begar', but there can be no doubt that it is a form of forced labour under which a person is compelled to work without receiving any remuneration. Molesworth describes 'begar' as 'labour or service extracted by a govern-ment or person in power without giving remuneration for it'. Wilson's Glossary of Judicial and Revenue Terms gives the following meaning of the word 'begar': 'a forced labourer. One pressed to carry burthens for individuals or the public. Under the old system, when pressed for public service, no pay was given. The begari, through still liable to be pressed for public objects, now receives pay. Forced labour for private service is prohibited.' 'Begar' may therefore be loosely described as labour or service which a person is forced to give without receiving any remuneration for it. That was the me...
