[INDOLOGY] 25 books banned (‘forfeited’), including mine

[Piotr Balcerowicz]

Dear List Members,

I would like to draw the attention of those of you who also follow current
developments in India to the latest official ban on 25 books, which was
signed on 5th August, and announced on 6th August:

And this was my first reaction to the ban, which includes two of my
monographs:

This has already resulted in the actual seizure (euphemism for ‘state
stealing’) of the titles in a number of book stores in Jammu and Kashmir.

Best regards,

Piotr Balcerowicz
