Here's what puzzles me. Are we so entitled that we think in a speech that calls out pretty much every nation in the world, we deserve a special exemption. Hey, you can talk about Holocaust, but don't you dare mention a single riot in our backyard. Or do we, like spoilt sixteen year olds, make everything about us? Or worse, are we so over-excited that an American President should mention India that we can't help but over-read his every word?

...Just proves the point you are so far behind in everything....and you are citing the same 3-day old link that your Masterabetor Mir-alat-dar-allah was criticizing

I was overjoyed to see you express solidarity with Charlie Hebdo a few weeks back and breathe fire over backward, intolerant religions which impose restrictions on free speech. I completely agreed with you back then that these religion-imposed constraints are completely out of place in the modern world.

However, your own government, headed by that rockstar you so enthusiastically cheered on a few months ago at Madison Sq Gardens, says: "Posting pictures and comments on social networking sites which hurt religious sentiments cannot be tolerated and people must be prosecuted under Section 66A of the Information Technology Act.."

And while "religious sentiments" is what they purport to defend, the law itself is far broader in scope and says that posting / sending anything via electronic means, which annoys someone, can land one behind bars.

Now, I don't expect you to spring out of your armchair shaking your fist, or flooding the internets with your outrage (and in one case, launching 500-word essays on civil awakening etc) given that this is a government which can do *no* wrong in your eyes (and anyone who disagrees must be a CONgoon). But at the very least, I hope this contemptible defence of an ill-drafted law that egregiously violates freedom of speech, causes one tiny wrinkle to appear on your foreheads and gives you some pause in your breathless cheerleading for this government.

If not, we know the value of all your Je-Suis-Charlieing.

Best Regards
MD

What happened to the stance of the pseudos' championing of complete, absolute and unlimited freedom of speech (which they vehemently advocated when it came to Hussain's paintings, wendy's writings, hindu gods' images on chappals and toilet seats, PK, etc) when it came to Chales Hebdo? Why are they being so wimpy now? They are trying to be on the other side of the fence. Double standards and hypocrisy?

He does not realize?...? You are naive. He knows full well what he is doing/posting.  He is simply aping the iSlamic attitude of all rules apply to others and they can do whatever they want as they are only following their book.
