1. Vikatan magazine cartoon was banned by the same govt few days back for criticising modi.every govt come up with their own definition of "freedom of expression".whether congress or bjp.

2. Good. Although the govt now is busy censoring other types of content mostly on the internet. May after 30 yrs that too will be let go by the freedom loving govts that we always have.

3. Banned by congress mulla party

4. I need to read it 😂

5. 😂 misleading

6. Congress party namaste kaise ho 😂

7. 🚨In the Meanwhile, Salman Rushdie's assailant has been unanimously convicted by the Jury in USA🇺🇸 Courts👍✅

8. Nobody gives a f about that in India

9. Wish I can find this on Amazon 😕

10. Indian leftist are actually Islamist rightwing, support silently supression of voices against islamic mal practices like early marriage, blasphemy and polygamy.

11. Some sense should prevail and such things should be allowed let people read and decide

12. Read rangila rasool book

13. Well done

14. Nice .this is true freedom of speech.i wonder how the so called left liberals and secular banned the book in India.

15. This book will now start more. The opposite will happen. Just see curiosity creates more interest.

16. It's always been available in india as pirated copies…
    Just not available legally…

17. Must Read for One and All.

18. The Congress party, when they were in the government , banned the book in the country only to appease the Muslim community….😮😮😮

19. A certain section of the community = Muslim Community

20. This is what free speech is all about. To hell with the regressive so called liberal leftist.

21. Yeah, sure! What next, I wonder. Can we get proper beef items at McDonald's and such because we Christians respect and partake in the glorious majesty that is beef by joyously eating its juicy meat and drinking it nutritious milk, never ever its urine or dung, y'know…oh, and we lluuvvv pork!

    Be wise enough to see that all this is just shameless, senseless propaganda. India will never have religious freedom, just as Pakistan will never have women walking about showing their properly combed and tied hair. What a joke! The word secular being in her constitution itself is a constant source of frustration for her self-proclaimed 'majority' who doth reeketh of body odour, pungent spices and addicted to cow dung and urine as LSD to crackheads in LA (nor can they speak a lick of proper English).

22. This demonic book should be banned in all over the world

23. Good sign

24. Fantastic book must read – truth

25. Khangress party banned the book to hide truth from public, sadly for them in the age of social Media the truth came out …..shame of Khangress Buslim Party

26. Secular muslim is like "Meat eating vegam" it does exist 😂

27. Where in delhi to get it?

28. impose this book in western and China, india and Japan's school curriculum forcefully 😅😅😅😅

29. Victory for free speech

30. But what does this book says

31. That "certain section" have different priorities than the rest of India.

32. Now, let's see the freedom of speech if a book againt hindusim were to be written and released in india…😂

33. Nicee

34. Meanwhile nobody talking about how a document can just vanish from the indian court…
    How broken the system can be!

35. read the chapter Mahound. it's beautiful in every aspect. The opposite of faith is not necessarily 'reason'; that would be too binary. The opposite of faith, as Salman Rushdie writes in The Satanic Verses, is doubt. It is doubt that compels us to think through things and examine evidence before arriving at a conclusion."
