Readers Opinion :- Is Hating Someone a Crime ?

Today I read a news report that some engineer was arrested for having started a community that says something against Maratha Sivaji. After all who is Sivaji ? Isnt he just another king who tried to protect his kingdom ? How did he become a national hero ?

In Kerala someone else was arrested for starting a community “I hate Sindhu Joy”. The lady happened to be a (famous/notorious) student leader. Something similar happened to the person who started “I hate Sonia Gandhi” community also.

Is it illegal to hate someone ? Whats wrong in starting hate communities. If I don’t like someone, cant I just openly say that I hate that person. If we are to prosecute the hate community owners there will be thousands of them cos every celebrity will have a hate community.

Cos I am an Indian citizen, am I entitled to respect the so called national leaders and national symbols. What if I think Indira Gandhi was a tyrant ? What If I think of Advani as the next Hitler ? What If I think Prathibha Patel is an idiot and not fit to be the Indian President ?

Dosent freedom mean I have the freedom to hate anyone I like and express it also ? Which Indian law states that I shouldn’t form an Anti xxxxxxx group.
