The law in India doesn't prohibit all books concerning Hinduism.

Is banning legitimate scholarship like the Hindus worse than banning books by mass murderers? Certainly.

One reason India isn't so bad is that I'm pretty sure there will be no problem ordering the book from abroad for shipping in. See:
