Mehta Opens Free Speech Talk Series in Calcutta

Imagine free speech as a game where everyone trusts each other and the rules.

Mehta, a smart thinker, talked about this game.

He said that for free speech to work, people need to trust the government and each other.

But sometimes, this trust breaks down.

Mehta explained that the old ways of defending free speech, like using laws or principles, might not work anymore because the game has changed.

He opened a series of talks in a bar to explore why we're losing trust and how it affects our ability to speak freely.
