>>> I don't know how these specific laws work in India, but if he was threatening people on the internet because they were going to vote for Modi, I am assuming the police would want to see the tone of the threats. They could have been more than just opinions.Idéfix wrote:http://m.firstpost.com/politics/facebook-user-faces-jail-for-anti-modi-holocaust-remark-1538499.html

Apparently this is what he posted. I don't see any threats to Modi voters.

Are there laws in India against stupidity? This one certainly meets the stupidity requirements.

Who has identified him as a dimwit? Let the law take its course and let the courts decide if he really is dimwitted.truthbetold wrote:These statements are stupid because there over the top political hyperbole and identifies the originator as dimwitted.

Kinnera,
I now understand what you are reading. I am not commenting on the law itself. I am saying this guy should be arrested for stupidity.

From the link:Kinnera wrote:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikram_Buddhi
Vikram S. Buddhi (born May 10, 1971) is an Indian Ph.D student and teaching assistant at Purdue University who was imprisoned by United States authorities in 2006 for writing anti-Bush content, which involved direct death threats via his yahoo account, and publishing them online... Buddhi was arrested on April 14, 2006 and found guilty of threatening the life of a US President in 2007.
Buddhi is alleged to have made direct death threats against Bush. Do the messages in the picture above contain direct death threats to Modi?

Buddhi was arrested on April 14, 2006 and found guilty of threatening the life of a US President in 2007.[7] Earlier on Friday, February 3, 2006, Buddhi was questioned by the Secret Service who made a formal report saying that Buddhi was not a threat to the US President or any Secret Service protected person.

This is ridiculous. Clamping down on such speech is likely to make the problem worse all round.bw wrote:meanwhile, in UK...
