Sedition in Liberal Democracies /
Singh, Anushka
Sedition in Liberal Democracies / Singh, Anushka - New Delhi : Oxford University Press, 2018. - 406 p. ; 20 cm.
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-liquoractivists, 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.
