Again, not illegal to make fun of dead people.
- alex_smart 5y ago>Again, not illegal to make fun of dead people. In India? Who knows? Probably not NSA worthy, but I wouldn't bet against anything being illegal in India. I certainly know one person who was kept in jail for years for mocking one dead person (PBUH). That person did eventually get out on bail only to soon have his throat cut. But I guess that case ties into mocking religious feelings of a community (but then, so does this case). Also, I think you probably missed the part where I began and ended my comment by emphasizing that I think this is government misusing the laws to punish dissent.

- Cthulhu_ 5y agoDepends on the country; in countries like North Korea it'll probably get you executed.
- justshowpost 5y agoThat's bad example, in North Chorea eating too much grass could get you executed as well.
- afiori 5y agoIn many countries it is.
