National Security Act

The National Security Act (NSA) is a law in India that allows the government to take preventive action against individuals deemed a threat to national security. Enforced primarily to maintain public order and protect the country from activities like terrorism, espionage, and anti-national behavior, it allows for detention without trial for up to three months. Authorities can act quickly to detain individuals to prevent potential harm. The act is meant to ensure the safety of the state, but it also raises concerns about individual rights and the potential for misuse.
