Kashmir Book Ban Sparks New Censorship Fears for Region's Already Trapped Culture
A new book about Kashmir by Hafsa Kanjwal has been banned, sparking fears of censorship in the region, where authorities have already restricted access to a range of works deemed critical of Indian rule. The move is seen as an attack on people's right to remember and discuss their history.
India-administered Kashmir's book ban has sparked new censorship fears after a recent publication on the region was banned by authorities, highlighting concerns over the erosion of people's memory and the suppression of historical narratives. The move has raised questions about freedom of expression and the impact of censorship on artistic representation. Critics say the ban is an attempt to control the narrative on Kashmir and its complex history. The decision has drawn widespread condemnation from authors, writers, and activists across India and internationally.
