WHEN IS one considered to be misusing the right to freedom of expression guaranteed to us in the Constitution? This is the fundamental question that needs probing when a former Mumbai corporator, Nicholas Almeida, offers a bounty of Rs 11 lakh to anyone who brings Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, to him ‘dead or alive’. Instigating and actively seeking the death of anyone cannot be tolerated in civil society. Yet, this is exactly the kind of intolerance that was validated when UP Minister Mohammed Yaqoob Qureshi was allowed to go scot-free after having offered Rs 51 crore for the head of the Danish cartoonist in the Prophet Mohammad cartoon controversy.
While it is inconceivable that anyone will take up Almeida on his offer, his pronouncement reflects an air of extreme intolerance. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that this is a direct result of having tolerated such intolerance for so long, and that it portends real danger for the future.

There are valid vehicles of protest available, including the right to be heard in a court of law. But lately, more and more individuals and groups — and lawmakers themselves — have started bypassing these to create an atmosphere of fear and reprisal. It is difficult to forget the extreme reaction over James Laine’s Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India in Maharashtra in 2003, when Pune’s Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute was ransacked and a scholar’s face blackened for having helped Mr Laine with the research. The secular body politic of India is being stabbed repeatedly by such actions. It would not be surprising if one fine day, that entity keels over and dies and is replaced by a Frankenstein’s monster we have collectively allowed to be created. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I will try and get the exact url, the media seems to have covered this up because I googled it and found no news reports on this.
