Introduction:

In the modern world, governments everywhere have made security and safety their top priority. Countries have been compelled to establish robust legal frameworks in order to preserve peace and safeguard national security due to threats like organized crime, terrorism, and domestic turmoil. One of the biggest and most varied democracies, India faces difficult security issues from both inside and without its boundaries. The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) was created by the Indian government in 1967 in order to address these dangers. The UAPA has grown over the years to become one of the most significant pieces of legislation in India’s war on illegal activity and terrorism. To help you comprehend the UAPA’s role in preserving national security, this article provides a straightforward explanation of its history, goals, principal provisions, disputes, and effects.
