J&K bans circulation of 25 ‘secessionist’, ‘radical’ books

The Jammu and Kashmir home department has banned 25 books, including Arundhati Roy's 'Azadi,' citing concerns over the dissemination of false narratives and secessionist literature.

The banned books are now "forfeited," prohibiting their ownership, sale, and circulation within the region.Original Article
