Binayak Sen and patriotism

India is incredible for sure, a man who has devoted his life for the deprived got life term when criminals,corrupt politicians and rapists are roaming scot-free. The charge against Dr. Binayak Sen is sedition; waging war against state but in any way he was sentenced without ample evidence. He is a humanitarian to the core and has been working for the welfare of the poor leaving his lucrative career.
I end up asking myself what is treason If not looting the country by conniving with mafias and goons. What is the crime of Binayak Sen to deserve a life term in a country where politicians/beauraucrats/corporates etc have been exploiting India and her people for years? Much of our political class is so characterless and blind with greed so that they would even sell off the country if offered a handsome amount. So these people sit at the helm of affairs to judge our patriotism, it is pathetic to see even our judiciary is part of the problem.
Is that a crime if you know a Maoist or read their literature? Is that a crime if you sympathise with the plight of the tribals?
I don’t really connect to the violence of Maoist, and I feel both the state and Maoists exploit the helpless tribal people. We are really in a Kafkaesque situation under an oppressive state. I wonder when it would start to dictate even our though process.
