Dear Pakistani friends..This is known as Secularism...India respects sentiments of the all religions..

Hurting the religious feelings are not allowed, but burning alive the Muslims is allowed. Hypocrites

Shirin Dalvi, a Muslim women, and an editor of a Urdu newspaper, wanted to get popularity and fame by creating stir. Indian police did the right thing, to stop from inflaming the situation.

This is secular india ..no one has rights to play with sentiments of another religion ..

This is what happens when you have a Democracy, which acts with responsibility.

@Ayesha : recent burning of 3 muslims, though a very unfortunate incidence, was in retaliation to killing of a hindu boy by them. it was nothing about religion and rather a way of violent retaliation prevalent in rural areas throughout world. same happens between hindu hindu and muslim muslim also..

@Ayesha thanks

this happens in india....

@Ayesha It was Hindus not Muslims who were burnt alive in Godhra.

295A of the Indian Penal Code should go first. It is not secular India but an India which continue to appease religions without shedding the draconian laws framed by the British for their convenience.

@guddu secularism means that nobody is protected from offence. Quite the opposite. It means that everyone tolerates everyone else's beliefs, even when they offend. Everyone's right to belief is protected and everyone's right to offend, equally so.

@Ayesha come india and see ... How beautiful it is . you will see unity in diversity.. Love and brotherhood among all religion...

Doesnt matter.... when it comes to india, they defend it in anyway...when it come to Pakistan, they all come and bash... RIP: #FreedomOfSpeech :P

In secular India painter M.F Hussein can paint nude pictures of Hindu Godesses Laxmi and Saraswati and still get away, but an editor reprinting cartoons get arrested. The democarcy in India is under seige by muslims who constitutes 20% of the population. This proves that Hindus needs to be in majority if one wants democarcy and peace in a country.

@Ayesha do u know a hindu widow saved 10 muslims in her house. Get educated about India first.

@Ayesha You have problem only when non Muslims killing Muslims,but every day how many Muslims are getting killed by the hands of fellow Muslims in Syria ,Iraq,Libya and Pakistan. Why no reaction from you

@Mike and for those who gets offended India has this law.

well india geting better in democracy and it will conduct polls in kashmir on the way

@guddu This is not secularism..its multi-polar theocracy.

Look at the bright side. They complained, the action was taken.

@Ayesha "Hurting the religious feelings are not allowed, but burning alive the Muslims is allowed. Hypocrites" - Sorry but didn't understand who is daring to burn muslims alive ..

@vikas For one Hindu you mean to say that burning three Muslims alive is justified. Justice on the roads! So what is the use of free-courts?

Avadhnama is looking for easy way to accumulate money like Charlie Hebdo. An action that has bad results should not be replicated.

Poor choice by the Indian government to enforce such laws. It will be a while before India gets close to the western countries around freedom of expression.

@Gr "Freedom of Expression" in west, my foot. Does west allow debate on holocaust? Can someone have Hitler style in Europe? Are you so naive about west's hypocrisy?

"The Indian Express said several readers approached police in Mumbai and Thane after Urdu paper Avadhnama reprinted the Charlie Hebdo cover image ..." How dare they approach the police, spineless creatures !!! They shud have taken to the streets, shouted themselves hoarse, burnt french flags n destroyed public property.

@Ayesha you are only care of muslim community but can't speak in favour of other community of Pakistan which may be Hindu, christians and many more. Crime must be condemned by every person. Most of Pakistani people are raised voice against cartoons of charilie ehbfo but nothing say anything when multiple temple and religion book has been damaged by extremist personal of Pakistan .

@Pady Undoubtedly: the printing and subsequent arrest and the following bail all together represent the great values inherent to a great democracy.

All religions practiced today have their merits. However, if one cannot withstand criticism of ones religion then your understanding of your religion is weak.

india is just a so called secular country. it does not let people express freedom of speech.

Thank u india very much my love for u for this. .

@Ayesha - Indians are not hypocrites, and it was not Muslims who were burnt alive. Those were Hindu pilgrims who were burnt alive. By the way, did you ever hear about Christians being burnt alive in a brick kiln ? and where was that ?

@gr Agreed.

I am glad India acted on it to show respect!

@Ayesha biggest Actor - SRK, Salman. Aamir, Ex President - Abdul Kalam, Biggest Musician - AR Rahman, Biggest Lyricist - Gulzar & Javed Akhtar, Biggest Artist - MF Hussain. Do I need to say more ?

@A friend those were burned by their own gunpowder and things like that being carried on the train, that caught fire by accident. As per Indian governments investigations. Though it came too late. In the mean time thousands of Muslims were burned by extremists.

@Valiya you/western media just do not see/publish that. And by the way, who are suppliers of arms and money to those 'muslims' killing to other muslims?

People do what people do, a government acts, as it sees right.

Well done India courts that's a step in the right direction you made me proud today as a neighbour.

@Ayesha "Hurting the religious feelings are not allowed, but burning alive the Muslims is allowed. Hypocrites" You are mistaken It was hindus who were burned alive in Godhra.

Guys and girls please give India credit for doing the right thing, and accept it that India has better Democracy than Pakistan. I thank Indian Government to stop the publishing of Charlie Hebdo reprint.

I must say, well done India.

Why you people behave like victims.

Why you people behave like victims all time.

At least India is not as hypocritical as France and Germany.

@Ayesha Who is killing muslims inside pakistan

@sudhi , agree with you Sudhi. Whether it is section 295A in Indian penal Code or section 295C of Pakistan Penal Code, both shall go and both countries are hypocrites.

@vikas Every massacre of minorities is justified as revenge by the Indians....

@guddu The filthiest cities on earth are in India....yes it is very beautiful...LOL

@Abhai Yes we heard about Christian priest and his children burnt by a hindu mob in india....remember.

She was arrested according to the law. I want that law to be removed. I want absolute freedom of expression

@Ayesha Yes... They are being burnt so much that Muslim population is increasing more than any other religion..... Check the facts before you spit venom .... Hey what's the situation of minorities in Pakistan?

It's all about perception. We are not debating free speech anymore. We are debating right and wrong...which is totally subjective. For a totally different perspective check out: https://hutchsblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/i-am-not-charlie/

@Ram ...As far as people like Ayesha is concerned, a Hindu / Christian / Ahmadi are low life in the land of pure and can be killed without any compunctions. People like Ayesha think that they are superior race who ruled this sub-continent over thousands of years and others are just meant to be ruled. This superiority complex comes from what they read in their text books. How can a Hindu raise his hand against a Muslim, who has ruled them over centuries.

@guddu I respectfully disagree. I think Indians are divided on this topic. A secular country is one that allows every religion to thrive without fear of retribution. The constitution of India guarantees that. Just because India jailed a person for printing what she wanted, doesn't make it more secular. It just curtailed the rights of that person (although lawfully). But IMHO that law is flawed. If I express myself in one way or the other or make a joke about not only my religion but anything others, thats my choice. It may be in bad taste and I can be criticized for my viewpoints, but thats still my viewpoint. I can express it in a blog, a newspaper, tv, magazine or anything. I am not asking people to agree with me or laugh at my jokes because thats up to an individual to decide. I am not hurting you physically nor inciting violence by expressing myself. Now what if I say that my religion is that of an atheist (if I can call it that) or for that matter communist; where I can say work is worship. If someone criticizes that, should they be jailed. Why draw a line at only formal religions? MF Hussain painted nude goddesses and that offended many Indians. He was an artist expressing himself. CH made jokes not only about Islam but of Jews and Christians too. If they knew more about Hinduism, they would have made fun too. Just take it in the spirit and don't get upset by it. I am not saying that the West is perfect but to a large extent they seem to be a far better democracy that the others. I would love a healthy discussion if anyone is interested. And yes, you obviously have every right to criticize my viewpoint in this.

@suleman You seems to be be hardcore fan of Chalie Hebdo.

This is simple persecution of media and nothing else. Middle class Indians needs to stand up and take the streets against infringement of free speech. As a Hindu/Buddhist I have absolutely no problems with any drawings, caricatures, jokes, videos of anything about my way of life. Media's right to print, draw, or write does not in any way affect me.

@Akil Akhtar I also heard Christian couple burned alive, look, who is talking with blasphemy law

@Ayesha You guys are mad about religion and that is your biggest problem.
