[Reader-list] Free expression for a Muslim Traitor-Alien or Hindu betrayers?

[Lawrence Liang]

Hi Arnab and Jeebesh

The doctors have given me permission to take a quick break from this 
very painful vasectomy to clarify and add a legal point; There is a 
clear distinction in the constitution between Art. 19 (freedom of 
speech) and Art. 21(right to life), and while Art 21 is available to  to 
all persons, Art. 19 is only available to citizens, which means  that 
non citizens do not have the same claim that citizens can in the case 
of  free speech, and hence do not have access to same remedies either.

In any case i read jeebesh's posts as not making a legal argument but 
urging us to move beyond the rather narrow conceptual  frame of liberal 
legality, and explore the possibilities of a wider set of cultural 
resources through which we can think of hospitality, and again not as 
candy floss virtue ethic but as   forms of life
