Go, Read: Broad Analysis Of Aseem Trivedi Case

Sameer Sharma has an article up here about the Aseem Trivedi case. I have to admit I sort of lost track as to what the hell was going on with that thing after Fall 2012... I assume there are charges pending or potentially pending. It looks like this case suggest the application of late 19th Century law wouldn't be an issue here because the incitement to violence consequences of someone making a cartoon about issues, no matter how disagreeable, doesn't seem like it hold water... except that there have been recent cases where you wouldn't think that element had any logical traction either.
