    The primary objective of the First Amendment Act, 1951, in India was to curtail certain fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.

    It aimed to amend Article 19 to impose restrictions on freedom of speech and expression, freedom to assemble peacefully, and freedom to form associations or unions.

    These amendments were primarily driven by concerns over national security and public order in the aftermath of Partition and the challenges of nation-building.
