The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 7 Oct 2019Scrap silly charges against 49 leading intellectuals. Don’t make Indian democracy a laughing stock High-profile celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi’s leadership of India’s freedom struggle are rendered meaningless by repetitive and frivolous invocation of heavy-handed colonialera laws, such as those pertaining to sedition, 72 years after independence. This was yet again demonstrated when a letter to the PM voicing concern over the spate of lynchings and hate crime, written by a group of the country’s leading thinkers and artists, drew charges of sedition and breach of peace. While the Supreme Court has tried to limit the meaning of sedition to a direct and immediate incitement to violence akin to a “spark in a powder keg”, in practice it has been applied to even the most commonplace raising of questions by Indian citizens.
