Q2. What do social restrictions mean? Are any restrictions necessary for independence?

Ans. Social restriction:- Social restriction means the freedom of the individual to choose, decide or work by the group, community or state. Restrictions that are necessary that protect the liberty of the person. A situation without restrictions will lead to chaos, a state of disarray. Not all types of restrictions are necessary for independence. Restrictions that are imposed by force, which serve the interests of the ruling class, are not necessary for individual freedom, such as in a dictatorial regime. Whereas in democratic countries, the imposition of sanctions by the government to protect the aid of the people is to give appropriate conditions to the people. Hence the social restriction that gives the person the freedom to choose, decide or work is necessary for freedom. Restrictions are necessary for success that apply to the relationship between individual and nation .

But the state has been given the power that it can ban these rights keeping in view the integrity, security, peace, morality etc. of the country.
