The dictionary meaning of the word ' sedition ' is ' actions or speech inciting rebellion.' One Dr. Binayak Sen has been sentenced to life in prison for sedition in Chattisgarh. Dr. Sen is a noted humanitarian who has spent his life serving poor people in tribal areas and has been awarded many prizes for his humanitarian work. His crime was that he criticised the state government for arming militias and encouraging them to terrorise locals so as to reduce support for Naxals. Apparently he met a Naxal leader in prison several times and his acquaintance was found carrying a letter from the same prisoner. So, that putrid slime, Rathore is freed after just six months in prison even though he used the police force under his command to file a succession of false cases against the brother of Ruchika Girhotra, a teenage girl he had molested, driving her to suicide. One Congress fellow claims that officer Karkare, who was gunned down by Paki terrorists in Mumbai on 26/11, had confessed to being afraid of Hindu nationalists. He did this at the Congress party plenary session to get ' minority ' votes and to ingratiate himself with the Congress chief who is not a Hindu, the most cringe making public show of boot licking that I have ever seen. No one in the Congress gang advised him to wash out his mouth with a toilet detergent for uttering such nauseating garbage. Meanwhile a Paki singer called Sami has bought 8 apartments and 3 car parking spaces in Mumbai even though foreign citizens, including children of Indian expatriates, are not allowed to buy properties in India. It is no surprise that a person may want to rebel. It is surprising that all Indians do not.
