Aah, for a moment I thought you were challenging the previous poster by quoting the author. From what I have read about this law, it doesn’t specify hurting followers of a specific religion. This looks more like Penguin being under pressure from a political/religious group. This was not decided in the court but a decision taken by Penguin India. Surely, you can’t blame the law without being proved in court. So, I am not sure if the author is lying or just angry. I wish Penguin had carried on publishing the books on principles instead of destroying them but they definitely are getting my money for the book. Atleast, the book has got more publicity than it would have got otherwise and my cynical mind thinks that was the intention of Penguin from the beginning.
