What if I told you there's a religious symbol on the flag of a supposed secular nation?

What if I told you the symbol was justified using legacy of a potentially inept ruler from indian history?

The govt can interpret any law when there is nothing clear provided in the constitution.

No they can't even do it constitutionally. In case of dispute, only courts have right to explain the law. No one in India has right to explain or interpret law except judiciary.

Governments quote the provisions which are clear and can be pushed back in case court disagrees.

Constitution is a standard, IPC is a code.
Standards are about what to enforce like "murder is a crime". Codes are about how to do like punishments of imprisonments and death sentence. Governments only have control of latter and courts can overturn even that.

Even who celebrate Pakistan victory in India for some cricket matches,

That isn't an act of sedition technically either. Indian republic hasn't declared any country as state enemy.

It would have been different case if they supported Pak in a war. You can't sentence them for a cricket match.

Even now the current sedition law is such. Sedition law was is a damn interpretation. One journalist got slapped with a law for reporting body is

That's over sidekick. For example, I'm a minister, I've problem with an IAS. So I make him messed into another corruption case to demoralise him.

Journos are no saints anyway and you know that too. Sedition law qualifies in case misinformation is verified.

So when shares these ideas online where one face/Id is available,

I don't what nonsense you have been fed through tabloids (nonsense about Delhi politics is quite prevalent in South due to language barrier and stupid media across the nation).

Think yourself over it. Any Indian government would invoke a law against someone who suggests a new national flag and anthem? Indian state doesn't worship its symbols over its existence. In last 70 years, there have hundreds of proposals to revise government emblems, national flag and national anthem. Even though they didn't pass and were ignored by government.
You are not living in North Korea or Zimbabwe and even fundamentalist state like Nazi Germany won't have a problem in listening if some of their citizens says that he would like a different design of national flag. This is a matter for internal discussion of nation's decoration. It doesn't have a political angle.

I made sure the proper distinction, depending upon the party in power, sedition law can be invoked for such discussion too. It's just a tool for harrassment. If you are a Congress worker and had shared this, this law will be slapped across. Pls don't try to find it

No that is stupidity. A person belonging to any political affiliation won't face sedition chargee for suggesting new national symbol because it isn't a sedition at all by any means nor a problem for any political party. Neither Indian state nor any Indian party worships symbols like that.

As far as sedition law is concerned, it is only useful thing left by Brits that has protected India from balkanisation. It is misused sometimes doesn't change the fact that it's abolition will make government helpless against all of non-terrorist anti-national activities. Especially separatist campaigns won't face any legal challenge thereafter.

Even the section of media which is calling this law a "tool of harassment" belongs to the media which loves to whitewash terrorist groups, naxalites and separatists.

Anti sedition law campaign in India is similar to police defunding campaign in USA, both are only aimed providing criminals impunity so that can overthrow democratic governments later. These are standard exercises of communist revolutionary groups.

I request elaboration

I'll settle with the Tricolour as it is. It is attached to our emotional psyche since childhood. We see it as manifestation of the Union itself.

But, I'd wish to see in my lifetime, the words 'Dharmic' and 'Civilisational' replace 'Secular' and 'Socialist' respectively in our preamble. Also, I wish we make it mandatory to use Kesari flag at every National event along with Tricolour, showcasing our civilisational heritage. If Vandemataram and Jana Gana Mana can have equal status, India and Bharat have equal status why can't Tricolour and Kesaridhwaj? The former signifies Union of India which aspires to be a model modern state, latter the Dharmic civilisation called Bharata which is the guiding lamp of humanity and home of 4 world religions.
Just my 2 cents fraands

Indian Ashoka chakra is actually The Buddhist dharmachakra.

Ashoka was a Buddhist zealot who established religious police and other such things

He was indian version of aurangazeb who genocided the ajivikas.

There is a theory that his heavy-handed top-down moralistic policies led to the collapse of the Mauryan empire.

There's no reason for india to have ashoka chankra on the flag other than some vague understanding that ashokas empire was the only one to encompass entire Bharat.
