no honor being jailed in post independence India

Growing up in newly independent India we could not understand why elders were gushing about those who went to jail pre independence. As we grew we understood it was something honorable.
Now post independent India going to Jail is reprehensible and deplorable. Except for those sycophants and party dependent on BSY for existence. Whether these culprits are eventually found not guilty, the stigma remains with the party and the accused for ever in History.
