India is vetting books in Kashmir's libraries and educational institutions to identify and remove content deemed 'anti-national' amid concerns over potential seditious material. The move comes after allegations that certain books were being circulated among students, sparking fears of radicalization and spreading dissenting views. Authorities claim the filtering process aims to protect the state from 'misinformation' and maintain social harmony. Several high-profile titles have been removed from shelves in recent weeks as part of the vetting process.
