Sedition is practised selectively in India. While comedians, artists,speakers, directors, are targeted wrongly for freedom of speech, the hate-spreading Godi media continues on and on...
That's because sedition is specifically a law meant to curtail criticism of the establishment, not incident of violence in support of the establishment.
Somebody in Gujarat told me they are proud of Mr. "G"-odi. I wonder if they feel the same now, after facing backlash from all unexpected places, West Bengal for one. * Smiles in pride *
Exactly. Any why is no one of prominence filing a sedition case against these individuals? Including Raja Singh, Yati Narsinghanand, Kapil Mishra, Anurag takhur?
@sana Muslims don't abuse and mock other religious figures or their gods or justify riots and rapes on their name instead condemns then why hindus and Christians abuse or hate us. I don't know of other countries but my grandparents were burnt alive by goons of local politician and one of my friend's aunt was raped on her wedding day and her husband was shot and jailed under terror charges and they still can't convict him in past 20 years.
@sana I respect ur religion that's why I didn't spread hate against ur religion I respect u as well Do what ever u want but remain one thing each action have equal and opposite reaction Some one will also mock on ur bhagwan then I think u don't have to feel low or ashamed 😁 Chill Respect every religion no matter what do u believe No body is ready to smash u😂 And leave 1950 at there past Come to present and make country feature beautiful
@sana and remind one thing If someone will do this same to u then don't mind And change ur name 😂 U are following hinduism and using name of muslims to spread hate✌🏻😂 What ever u do It will come back to you And ur family
Considering how recently UK scraped the sedition law, as a teen I'm not very sure I'll live long enough to see this shit being thrown to the trash. Great work with the channel. Love it.
Sedition is here to stay. BJP has taken it to extreme but NO political party is interested to remove the law because they all love to take advantage of it, when the occassion calls for it! "Modern Liberal Democracy" - That's a good one! I never knew Editor's Guild has sense of humour.
@@Bestdeal-sj2vl right; we need to go through the process. Most young people today have not seen the official emergency but it was an experience India needed. So is the current one. Otherwise how do you explain the fan club and the huge votes BJP gets? We need a change: it is unfortunate that it did not work out nicely.
@@janami-dharmam u mean you want a dictator now in India a democracy? When Unpad gawar fake degree Chaiwalla ascends the throne what can you expect this nation !
it's such a pleasure watching him speak. He ca make difficult topics fun and easy to understand and the way he speaks is so heart-warming unlike other journalists who give headache. :)
An interesting fact that I recently came to know about the Sedition Act was that even Nehru who opposed the Act during the freedom struggle, imposed it after he became the Prime Minister when some people accused Congress of corruption. It seems politicians (in general) have been using it to their benefit through out the history (which is ofc appalling). [Source: BBC News article by Soutik Biswas]
jab book give away aaya aur piche "death" dekha mujhe laga "death note" hoga, maine12 log subscribe bi karwa diye fir jaake jab anuradha suna tab samajh aaya wo kewal "death" hai. P.S. you guys are doing a great job.
In the lakshwadeep issue, film director and activist Aisha Sultana has been charged with sedition now for speaking for her own land and their rights....for the past one month Bjp has been cringing under the questions posed by Aisha against the ridiculous rules imposed by Praful patel and the Bjp rss...the people of India should strongly condemn this system that bjp has created by which they can charge sedition against anyone they don't like...this is just pathetic... Newslaundry must take up this issue and make a video on that....
It's not a law it's a very handy TOOL for each and every government. And speaking in India Law is just like salt ,use it as much as you like, according to your taste.
Nicely explained but you didn't explained about Kedar nath singh case.... Also I hv not only convinced 6 ppl( though they are family members)to subscribe your channel but also they are happy to watch your content.... am I eligible for 2 books then.... lol.... ur channel deserve to be subscribed....content matters....all the very best for future I wish for rapid growth
Very good review young Man, this subject is of utmost importance nowadays since the said Draconian law as Sedition Act is foisted upon people, with the least restraint or application of the mind. The supreme court was right in it's observation that criticism of the government of the day is not criticism of the country, the government can be criticized by the press or the general public, which is their fundamental right.
Was Sedition really Colonial or its codification was Colonial? Would be great if we have a video on Evolution of Sedition laws over the years across different regions.
The Idea of sedition was implemented after first war of Independence/sepoy mutiny so that similar uprising should never happen again, there are no changes line to line are of the colonial era. Similar oppression just different oppressor.
@@sreekanthpillai7778 Of course u will. If people don't have answers they go for hours with everything but answer. Who is the oppressor u r commenting about? U mentioned it as similar oppression, in that case can u mention a similar incident like jallianwala bagh during ur oppressor rule. It's ur choice whether to answer in single comment or go on for hours.
It really seems we have still not gotten over our Colonial hangover. These law types should have been out of Law books way back when we became a Republic. We should shed it out asap. We citizens should press hard to remove, reform or at least redefine this law in the complaince to a modern 21st century Democracy.
For the statement, you made at 4:15 to 4:23 I think, that there is a huge gap in assumptions between expectations of our fellow citizens and executions done by local/national level politicians. we elect representatives of any deserving political party and expect that they will manage our resources and finances to their best possibilities and will bring out strategic development in a self-sustaining manner, but after elections, those politicians are never seen. That's where I feel like we were never heard, nor our needs are accounted for, neither our demands are assessed. Hence I feel voting in itself is not a complete solution and it never will be. We need a system update especially in our elections and in aftermaths, where the current structure of NOTA rules should be changed and practiced in a completely different way. I think we can create a district-wise Regional Think Tank Team consisting of 15/20 members from different fraternity-like Agriculture, Sociology, Planning, Academicians, Medical, Economics, Management, Architecture, Environmentalist and others. These members of the think tank are the replacement of politicians who can contribute to their district in their respective fields. And appointed IAS collector becomes the elected IAS collector. Together things can be worked out. As it will perform for 5 years, a mandatory practice of Community-Based Meeting [community-based meeting CBM bringing 3/4 Mohalla's or societies for discussion at a time] should happen by these think tanks and local citizens to create a Need Board [a need board consist of a categorized listing of needs, demands, ideas from citizens to the think tank for formulating strategies and also should be displayed in their respective Mohalla's or societies) which can be executed in quality and quantity in a timely manner. Hence they stay accounted for. Like pillars of human development are there from the UN, we have pillars for non-development with us which stops us. Lack of vision Lack of awareness Lack of participation Hence I feel that voting didn't change anything or significantly very little. I accept these are also incomplete thoughts of mine but they are. And need more work These are just the thoughts and ideas this doesn't make me anti-national for andh bhakts

If Vinod dua can be accused of sedition can you tell what sections apply to Pragya Thakur, Ramdev , Mohan bhagwat?
Exactly. Any why is no one of prominence filing a sedition case against these individuals? Including Raja Singh, Yati Narsinghanand, Kapil Mishra, Anurag takhur?

I am not good in English but I understand your episode and understand your language very well.
Thanks for simple way of your talking.
Dislikers are offended : Sedition 🤣
Meghnad 🔥
Thank You NEWSLAUNDRY ❤️
This is the reason why India is considered developing country ....
And we shall continue to be a developing country...

This guy is too good and super funny. Every time i see him now I remember his Tor Tor Tor haha
Mind Begs the Question:
Science - Question Everything
Govts - Do Not Question?
it's such a pleasure watching him speak. He ca make difficult topics fun and easy to understand and the way he speaks is so heart-warming unlike other journalists who give headache. :)
100 % agreed👍
Wah 5:11 , that man (Bajpayee) might be right or wrong (u know human) but what he said, thats GOLD.
Very well clear my doubts about sedition . You r doing a great job for saving the democracy of our country . Hats off to u ..
Information, knowledge & Pun, Good work.
Did not expect to be this funny. Solid work.
"Mai hai na"- 👍aapke hi bharose hai hum Meghnath ji😀
Legend has it that when Meghnad speaks in British accent, Shakespeare writes a new play.
citizen can be loosely pronounced as sedition...
Oh fuck 😂
Someone should sing a song on " Sedition"😂
Uspe bhi sedition lag jayega🤣🤣🤣
And make it the national anthem
@@geoalph oofff! Perfection
Sedition charges should be filed against those who are in authority and who are responsible for the current state of affairs?
A really well though video and a needed one! Thanks Meghnad
Dear Meghnath, you have rightly explained the sedition law in its perspective.
I gave this video a thumbs up because Meghnad's impersonation cackled me up. Bravo ! Splendid! Love the NL Cheatsheets. ❤
9/10 pointers for this episode. Very informative and entertaining.. Keep it up Sir.
Beautifully explained. Thnx 🙏..
Vinod Dua case concluding to grant him protection is a silver lining...
Never heard "sedition" so many times in such a short span. Wait! I take that back. I have.
there's no way anyone can hate Meghnad
Salute to vinod sir
Best channel for news
Make newslaundry affordable , so that we as a student could pay u to keep news healthy.
Meghnath's acting is improving.. and he is more funny now

I like how you included the the gardener of Rashtrapati Bhawan in the structure of our democracy.

This is one of the best series from newslaundry! You are awesome Meghnad!
Good job news laundry
Love you bro.....keep it up👍
After this week"s charcha, I was like 90% sure that this episode is coming .
megnadh bro you are in the elite club of atul chaursiya and manisha
We all should raise our voices against @sedition( the black kanoon of india).
And you free media should support us in this😁.
Useful information
The question that I simply can't shrug off my mind after watching this video is why Meghnad keeps multiple copies of the same book on his bookshelf...
"you get three of your friends to join.." where have I heard this now ? 🤔
I like McNath (McGrath) as he is... but liked him even more when he said "Main hain na...!" @ 3:36 GMT+8 :)
McNath for Meghnad? ok lol
jab book give away aaya aur piche "death" dekha mujhe laga "death note" hoga, maine12 log subscribe bi karwa diye fir jaake jab anuradha suna tab samajh aaya wo kewal "death" hai.
P.S. you guys are doing a great job.
sedition is the draconian law; can't and should not be practiced in modern democracies.
Seeing a nerd excelling so well when they act warms my heart 💜
Super explanation..
Wow that's great newslaundry.. books are ultimate friends.
Great work ! Excellent journalism ❤️👍🎉
I m ashamed. A Himachali filed a case. An honest Himachali would never do so
Atal ji's + Modi ji's efficiency= Atal ji's efficiency
Yaar books dekh kar mann me question ubhar aaye the. What a co incident or you know that people will observe all these stuffs. Good yaar...
In the lakshwadeep issue, film director and activist Aisha Sultana has been charged with sedition now for speaking for her own land and their rights....for the past one month Bjp has been cringing under the questions posed by Aisha against the ridiculous rules imposed by Praful patel and the Bjp rss...the people of India should strongly condemn this system that bjp has created by which they can charge sedition against anyone they don't like...this is just pathetic...

Anyone and everyone ,who asks or criticizes bjp slapped wid sedition.. mockery of everything
We need a list of the non repeated books.
It's not a law it's a very handy TOOL for each and every government.
And speaking in India Law is just like salt ,use it as much as you like, according to your taste.

Sedition !!
Very nice reporting 👍
Bhai apka style bahut mazedar hai dekhna aur sunana 🤩🤗
3:04 Conspiracy over video conferencing = “video consperencing”...pun intended!
I agree.... Veg biryani is just Pulao 😤😂
That means that we pull down structures made by the British but hang on to such laws!
Good insight on sedition. Thanks
Looking at the comments, I'm afraid some people may file sedition on Meghnad for explaining sedition in English 😃
Excellent expose! Thank you!
Meanwhile capitol hill be like...
Let me give u an example of sedition 🤣🤣
Thanks for the explanation NL.. :)
please focus on farmer protest too
Nicely explained but you didn't explained about Kedar nath singh case....

They changed the name but it's still the same shit. The laws are colonial and don't let them fool you, it's still the Imperial Civil Service.

Sedition has no place in a free nation. It's place can only be found in a semi-colonial nation. And India is a semi-colonial nation.
Hey! Did u say video conspirancing instead of video conferencing?
Btw once again great explainer! ☺️
I like your presentation very much. Very smart! 👌💝
