A whole other matter - I had no idea this went on. It's interesting to note that in India books are largely banned for political reasons when, elsewhere, it seems to be down to religious reasons.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348978728524856335.post-47820619846898304452009-10-05T01:11:55.796+05:302009-10-05T01:11:55.796+05:30Great post, censorship is an important issue all a...Great post, censorship is an important issue all around the world.<br /><br />Book banning in the U.S. often happen when parents are trying to get schools or libraries to remove books they feel are inappropriate for their children. Instead of being open with kids and discussing important and uncomfortable topics they try to get others to do the parenting for them.Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12865699135545209220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348978728524856335.post-58062304142821379632009-10-05T01:07:54.299+05:302009-10-05T01:07:54.299+05:30Thanks for posting about this!

Banning is just something I can't truly understand, it seems so ridiculous. <br /><br />I wish I knew more about Gandhi to understand the bannings. <br /><br />Great post!Shehttp://www.historyofshe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348978728524856335.post-45086384108434605662009-10-05T00:39:15.720+05:302009-10-05T00:39:15.720+05:30The nice thing about America is that there are no ...The nice thing about America is that there are no bans on books cross-country. The government is not banning anything. Bans occur in schools or libraries but not ALL schools or ALL libraries. The idea of government blanket banning is really terrifying. I'm glad you're getting the word out about these banned authors.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348978728524856335.post-54452407827355349352009-10-04T21:24:30.706+05:302009-10-04T21:24:30.706+05:30Banning books is scary, honestly.
