This is possibly the largest number of people booked for sedition at one time in one district anywhere in India.

How did this slip below the radar?

Adivasis say they are being hounded for invoking the Constitution to protect their land rights.

@supriya
Unbelievably stupid and criminal of the police (and state govt) to do so, but then only to be expected.

10,000 people charged with sedition in one district means the State accepts that it has lost its legitimacy to rule.

Also, in a functional democracy, the courts would take suo motu cognisance of this, restore peoples rights, and the State's sanity.

@AnyCat @supriya Are the words functional and democracy even relevant these days?!
