Detailed explanation-1: -The Sedition law was formed by Thomas Macaulay, a British historian, in 1837. The law was implemented in 1870 to curtail the freedom of speech and expression of Indian freedom fighters against Britishers. Leaders like Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, and Bal Gangadhar Tilak were charged under the law.
Detailed explanation-2: -As per Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, sedition is when a person brings or attempts to bring hatred or contempt, or which excites disaffection or attempts to do so towards the government of India by way of words (written or spoken), signs, visual representation, or any act.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sedition Act of 1870 was a turning point in the struggle for freedom in India. According to the Sedition Act any person protesting or criticising the British government could be arrested without due trial. Indian nationalists began protesting and criticising this arbitrary use of authority by the British.
