Wendy Doniger's book The Hindus: An Alternative History

had been the subject of a legal challenge claiming the text was offensive to Hindus.


Hindu campaign group Shiksha Bachao Andolan brought a civil case in 2011 against Penguin India,

arguing that the book contained "heresies" insulting to Hindus.

India's Penal Code makes it a criminal offence to deliberately outrage or insult "religious feelings" by spoken or written words,

potentially putting Penguin India in a vulnerable legal position in the wake of the challenge by the Hindu group.

The decision to withdraw the book sparked widespread criticism that it undermined free speech,

with many asking why such a big company had given in to a little-known group !!

'You must tell us what terrified you',

Arundhati Roy writes to Penguin India

Must we now write only pro-Hindutva books ?

Or risk being pulled off the bookshelves in 'Bharat'  and pulped ?

This white woman thinks that she can write a book on Hinduism filled with falsehoods and believed that there will be no repercussions.

"Doniger escaped being hit by an egg thrown by a Hindu nationalist apparently angry at the “sexual thrust”

of her interpretation of the “sacred” “Ramayana.”"
