Examining the relationship between sedition and liberal
democracies, particularly in India, this book looks at the
biography of sedition laws, its contradictory position against free
speech, and democratic ethics. Recent sedition cases registered in
India show that the law in its wide and diverse deployment was used
against agitators in a community-based pro-reservation movement,
group of university students for their alleged 'anti-national'
statements, anti-liquor activists, and anti-nuclear movement, to
name a few. Set against its contemporary use, this book has used
sedition as a lens to probe the fate of political speech in liberal
democracy. The lived reality of the law of sedition in changing
anthropological sites is juxtaposed with its positivist existence.
Anushka Singh uses a comparative framework keeping in focus the
Indian experience backed by fieldwork in Haryana, Maharashtra, and
Delhi, and includes a comparative perspective from England, the
USA, and Australia to contribute to debates on sedition within
liberal democracies at large, especially in the wake of the
proliferation of counter-terror legislations.
