POLITICAL INDOCTRINATION OF MINORS IN INDIA - A LEGAL CONUNDRUM
View through CrossRef
There is a thin line between personal opinion and indoctrination. So
where does the blame lie for a minor who was ‘politically
indoctrinated’ so as to inculcate certain beliefs and ideologies
which may drive him towards criminality. Can a minor be truly
made criminally responsible for a crime he committed by political
indoctrination from his adult environment? Can he be truly made
responsible for what he might have committed by acting on beliefs
that were inculcated in him through indoctrination by his parents or
guardian or schools? Children have been identified as victims of
violent extremism and terrorism by the United Nations, in its various
reports. However, considering the fluctuation in the number of cases
being reported against minors for committing crimes against public
tranquility and crimes against the State in India; should the crimes
committed by such minors by being politically indoctrinated, be
mitigated? Where does the penal liability lie?
