Abstract
Bal Gangadhar Tilak in 1897, Gandhi in 1922, Binayak Sen in 2011, Shreya Signal in 2013-different eras but one thing in common, that is all of these aforesaid people were slammed with sedition charges. However, one of the major difference is that of the independence. At the time when Tilak and Gandhi were tried under sedition, India was under the British Rule. Toady we call ourselves an independent nation, but are we really an independent democratic nation? Tilak and Gandhi fought for freedom, but do we citizens of India have freedom per se? In August 2016, an actress Divya Spandana was charged under sedition on her praising the people of Pakistan for their hospitality. Is this the kind of freedom an independent democratic nation provide you with? It cannot be denied that our government use the provision of sedition for similar reasons as were used by our oppressive British rulers.
