Tip: If you are a tourist visiting India or a local be careful of your speech.Anything can offend anyone and from the news articles the street law supersedes the law of the land and the law of the land is also twisted 66A. Also the law of the land has made it clear that any getting offended can file a complaint. So do not talk politics or about politicians or anything that could be deemed offensive to anyone.
