It delves into the strategies and policy measures adopted by the Indian government to ensure internal security while adhering to democratic principles. The paper also analyzes the potential trade-offs between security and civil liberties, highlighting the importance of striking a harmonious equilibrium to maintain national integrity and protect citizens' rights. Ultimately, this study seeks to shed light on the evolving nature of internal security challenges in India and the imperative of a balanced approach that navigates between countering threats and respecting the foundations of a democratic society.
