Yes, online hate speech is partially addressed under Indian cybercrime laws, primarily through provisions in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000. While India lacks a specific law dedicated to cyberbullying or online hate speech, existing laws cover certain aspects of it.
