Why India has not done away with archiac and abusive sedition laws once imposed by Colonial British rule? It is not a political issue as all the major parties that have governed India since 1947 have not abolished it, neither any opposition party has called for an abolition.

Countries like UK which had brought in the Sedition Law and USA are done away with this law, then how is that India is still using this law to punish it's citizens as late as 2021.

Sedition was Created to Prevent the Criticism of the King Sedition was devised as a tool in 13th century Britain to suppress the freedom of the printing press and its ability to criticise the King. The Sedition Act, 1661 imposed punishment on anyone who wrote, printed or preached any words against the King. It evolved to mean slander and libel against the reputation or actions of government officials and judges. The goal was to protect the faith that the common person had in the government and to avoid a ‘breach of peace’ in society.
