Shame on You, India

And you too, Yale.

Memories of a bitter past ignite book controversy

"The book wrongfully portrays the fateful partition of our nation," the Gujarat state government said in a statement." Such a brainchild has no historic background at all. In the larger interest of society, the state government has decided to impose a ban on the book."

"The BJP accused Singh of deviating from the party's "core ideology".

"We always respect freedom of expression but can never compromise our ideology," Sidharth Nath Singh, a party spokesman, told CNN. "You just can't eulogize Jinnah and accuse Sardar Patel instead."

Singh, a widely respected politician known for his moderate views within the ranks of a conservative party, found it appalling that freedom of expression was threatened in the world's largest democracy.

"The day we start banning books, we are banning thinking," Singh told reporters."

Which provides a very nice segway into this frightening peace, caught by Sleepy Old Bear, about the Yale University Press dhimminitude. Even the leftards are noticing and expressing concern.
