If it was the provision relating to <strong>sedition (an illegal action inciting resistance to lawful authority and tending to cause the disruption or overthrow of the government) <\/strong>that was invoked mindlessly in the past, including once for a play enacted by primary schoolchildren, the latest one involves an alleged attempt at creating enmity among different groups. Kuthma Sheikh was granted bail on the same day of her arrest, but the incident is no less <strong>disconcerting (Causing an emotional disturbance) <\/strong>as it indicates the ease with which members of the minority community can be arrested without sufficient cause, often at the behest of overzealous activists with a disproportionate <strong>clout (Special advantage or influence) <\/strong>in the administration. In this case, the madrassa student had said, \u201cMay God bless every nation with peace, unity and harmony\u201d on March 23, but a local Hindu activist complained to the police that she was creating enmity among communities by wishing people on Pakistan Day. With unsurprising <strong>promptitude (The characteristic of doing things without delay)<\/strong>, the police booked her under penal sections relating to promoting enmity between different groups. As to how her wishes would have attracted either Section 153A or 505(2) of the IPC is something only the police can explain. The district police have claimed that the arrest was aimed at preserving peace and maintaining order, but it is quite apparent that they acted in a <strong>cavalier (Marked by lack of attention, consideration, forethought or thoroughness; not careful) <\/strong>manner without ascertaining whether there was any substance in the complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since a controversy broke out over girl students wearing the hijab, there seems to be a tendency among right-wing groups to <strong>foment (Try to stir up public opinion) <\/strong>trouble targeted at Muslims. These groups have called for a ban on Muslim traders and vendors doing business as part of temple fairs. Even though the State government is citing a law that prohibits non-Hindus from getting property in the vicinity of the temple on lease, it is doubtful whether the rules cover temporary stalls on special occasions. It is regrettable that the State government is not doing enough to <strong>stem (to stop something that is increasing or spreading) <\/strong>the impression that its administration is hostile towards minorities. Unwarranted arrests, especially for trivial reasons and on communally motivated complaints, result in unfair incarceration, ruined lives and immensely delayed justice. For a regime that takes strong exception to strident criticism about its human rights and religious tolerance record, the Union government should be equally concerned about the possible damage that such incidents may cause to its global image. The Centre may not have anything to do with law and order, but it may have to advise certain States to restrain the police from perfunctory use of the power to arrest to please majoritarian groups and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,1480,1732,348,2,19,31,18,16,23,1734,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-17125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecgc-po","category-esic-mts","category-esic-sso","category-pscb-clerk","category-rbi-assistant","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-clerk","category-sebi-grade-a","category-ssc-cgl","category-ssc-chsl","category-ssc-mts","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Mar 30, 2022;
