Similarly, I am glad, no mainstream publication produced the controversial cartoon depictions of Prophet Mohammed and here too, I will take a slightly different view. If you look at the caption that appeared in Karavali Ale, the Kannada eveninger, whose editor was arrested for the caption “Mohammed the Merciful”, you would not think that the sketch had anything to do with Prophet Mohammed, whose pictorial itself no one has seen.
But knowing the fact that this is an extremely sensitive matter with the Muslim community, I will avoid, even if legally it may be inoffensive. Readers may recall that in the late 1980s, there was a serious incident in Bangalore. The Deccan Herald in its Sunday section publicised a Gyanpeeth award-winning short story titled “Mohammed the Idiot”. It was not about Prophet Mohammed at all. It was a story from Kerala in which the village idiot was named Mohammed. And the headline said “Mohammed the Idiot”. Nobody read it, obviously. Now, this was one award winning story which had been published several times in different parts of the country. But when it was carried as the main story in the Sunday edition of the Deccan Herald, Bangalore burnt for three days. This is how sensitive issues are. Wittingly or unwittingly, such things are interpreted by our volatile polity in a way that leads to a great deal of public disturbance, sometimes loss of life and definite loss of property.
Very often it is deliberate. I am not defending those who do it. They do it with the intention of establishing their leadership by pandering to a basis which reeks of communalism. This is to be condemned. But it is one thing to condemn theoretically sitting here in the India International Centre (IIC), another to go on the streets to lodge that protest.
Therefore, whether 295 (a) should be diluted - even though I am no legal expert - my immediate response is no. There are not too many cases of prosecutions under this section and the government too is circumspect, but some times, public pressure or public opinion in localities is so strong that the police are compelled to arrest the person, even if it is for his own safety, to ensure his safeguard as well as that of his institution from the wrath of an enraged public.
