You mean you have a right to not be insulted by anyone? I think most of us would agree that such a right is a dubious one, but unfortunately in India, giving offence is a crime, especially with regards to religion. (Indian Penal Code, section 295-A.) Laws like this are being exploited more and more given that most Indian politics today is identity politics -- but that doesn't make them right. -- Amit Varma http://www.indiauncut.com
