Thank you for telling us about this. I am a Penguin India author too, and have emailed them with my concerns.

​If you read the five objections offered against the book, they are risible.  It beggars belief that any court, much less a publisher, would take objections of this type seriously.

As a Penguin Delhi author myself, I shall be writing to Penguin India to protest this dark-ages ruling.  ​
