The freedom of speech and expression is a basic right guaranteed by Article 19(1)(a) of the
Indian Constitution. However, people are still being arrested for expressing their opinions,
which does little to protect their basic rights. The definition of sedation is found in Section
124A of the Indian Penal Code, and the courts of law have repeatedly emphasized the true
meaning of this section to prevent such misuse. The act of sedition was first introduced under
the colonial rule in 1837 by the Indian Law Commission led by Thomas Macaulay as Clause
113 of the Indian Penal Code, which made it an offense to "excite feelings of disaffection
against the government." The offense of sedition did not find a place in the IPC until 1870,
when an amendment was made and Clause 113 of Macaulay's draft was added into the Penal
Code as Section 124. This essay examines the distinction between disapprobation, which is not
considered sedation, and disaffection. It also addresses the fundamental question of why such
a law is required in a nation with its own government.
