On Republic Day

About Nine decades since M.K Gandhi was sentenced to six years imprisonment, under the colonial law of sedition by the British, it is a matter of grave concern the abysmal nadir to which our judiciary has convoluted to, when the Raipur high court sentenced Dr. Binayak Sen for lifetime imprisonment, under the same colonial law, without even a fair trial. Dr.Binayak Sen, a man who walked bare footed into the lowest strata of society and took up issues of basic health, social security and human rights of the people of Chhattisgarh, ended up being a prey to the vendetta of the fascist police state of Chhattisgarh , for his bold opposition against the state sponsored canniballic anti-maoist onslaught of Salwa Judum, which forced tens of thousands of civilian tribals abandon their homes . On the 62nd anniversary of Indian Republic, it is time for all believers in democracy to raise up their voice against the draconian laws like that of sedition, and the miscarriage of Justice against Dr.Binayak Sen.
