Only those who occupy, colonize, stifle and displace need an act to define sedition
Only those who cannot deal with dissent need to define sedition.
Only those who create notions of “national interest” to deflect from their scamster plans need the power of sedition.
Only those who are in a major rush to sell off the nation’s resources need the powers of sedition.
Only those who need a national hysteria to counter a national shame need the instrument of sedition.
Only cowards, recluses, emperors, dynasty huggers and turbaned gnomes, without fig leaves to cover up their diseased crotches, need the power of sedition.
Only those who want to dispense justice hastily and do not have the intelligence to listen out, contend, understand and bear the burden of truth need the claws of sedition
Only, the nervous, the fearful and the spineless who project their insecurities by pretending to be nation-huggers, need sedition like they need a windup toy- to keep up the noise so that they can drown out the signals from the people.
Only the pusillanimous, spineless, lily-livered need the notion of sedition to salve their putrid mental sores-they have no unguent other than to cry sedition
Only the preservers of the status-quo, the myths, and the pursuers of self-promoted trophies about growth need the powers of sedition to preserve their enclaves
Only the .2 percent population who have seen 9 % growth need the powers of sedition.
The British needed the powers of sedition and they handed it down when they left after 200 years.

Well said Rana... keep it up...
This is one of the most stirring piece of work I've read of late...keep up the good work and keep them coming!!
i heard Dr binayak sen was chargesheeted, revolt against state of india. how could be possible!! it is joke done by dept of justice.
Soli Sorabji's words are hard hitting. But what has this best legal brain done to vacate the false case against Dr. Binayak Sen? The judge who has passed such stupid sentence and the public prosecutors and the police themselves can go behind bars if pressed under the various provisions of the existing law. And why wait till the court vacation is over to bail out Dr. Sen? Isn't there a vacation judge in the concerned High Court who can intervene? What has Soli done in that regard?
Thanks for all the comments...Just a note of clarification. The text notes are mine. The leader, the caption that is, is from Soli Sorabji( "We look like the laughing stock of the world"). He made that statement during one of those Barkha Dutt frenzied shows which achieve absolutely nothing but air time for hyteria bound supporters of the BJP and Congress while independents and civic society people scratch their heads in sheer frustration. But that is another issue...As far as getting bail for Binayak Sen, this is best left to his current lawyers etc. Now everyone wants to jump on to the bandwagon and defend him...The issue is not to just defend him...but to also prove that the Indian legal system and its application is antediluvian, archaic and in a colonial era. Laws are there to protect people and their idea of dissent. Indian laws are there to stifle opposition, basically. It becomes clear when extra parliamentary opposition becomes loud and clear. Then sedition becomes the tool in the hand of the government.
