Dear Mr. Raghavendra, The banning of books and other literary works is not new in India, many books, literary works, and movies have been banned in the country including in British India. The section 95 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, sections 292, 293 and 294 of IPC have been enacted with the ulterior motive to protect and safeguard the public moral by making the sale, etc., of obscene literature and publications in general, and to young persons in particular, a cognizable offense. I had recently come across a banned book event hosted by Marriott Library, in the USA, where the event was focused on censored books that have been taken out of schools or libraries. Typically, a book is banned because a reader finds its materials to be against their views or beliefs, and requests a librarian to remove it from the library system. You may like to explore, and it might be of your interest. https://dailyutahchronicle.com/2019/09/22/censorship-is-not-a-viewpoint-marr...

In India would it possible to organize banned books event to promote freedom of expression and choice of read.

Thank you, Raghavendra R
