● Sovereignty simply implies that India is a state that takes its own decisions ultimately guided by the people. No external agency dictates terms to India. Hence, Statement 1 is correct . ● Even the representatives in the Legislature don't exercise complete freedom of speech. ◦ Moreover, sovereignty has no direct link with exercising freedom of speech. Hence, Statement 2 is NOT related to it . ● Similarly, if fundamental rights are denied to any person, it is hampering the liberty of the person, and denying him/her basic constitutional rights. But, it is not related to sovereignty in India. ● In order to protect the national interest, there are other channels and not just taking over bordering territories. ◦ This would, in fact mean, a neo-expansionist policy to protect nationalist interests. Hence, Statement 4 is also not related.
