Reading Mein Kampf doesn't a fascist make

By Economic Times - 9 months ago
The power of ideas is undeniable, capable of influencing individuals and societies. However, possessing material deemed controversial or undesirable by the state should not automatically incriminate individuals. The recent decision by the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court to free former Delhi University professor G N Saibaba and others, charged under UAPA for alleged Maoist links, highlights the importance of separating ideas from actions. Police need to focus on evidence linking ideas to actual criminal acts, rather than acting as "thought police." Depoliticizing police forces and investing in the justice system can prevent wrongful incarcerations.
