Censorship has been a universal phenomenon through history.
However, its rationale and implementation has varied, and public
reaction to it has differed across societies and times. This book
recovers, narrates, and interrogates the history of censorship of
publications in India over three crucial decades - encompassing the
Gandhian anti-colonial movement, the Second World War, Partition,
and the early years of Independent India. In doing so, it examines
state policy and practice, and also its subversion, in a tumultuous
period of transition from colonial to self-rule in India. Populated
with an array of powerful and powerless individuals, the story of
Indians grappling with free speech and (in)tolerance is a
fascinating one, and deserves to be widely known. It will help
readers make sense of global present-day debates over free speech
and hate speech, illustrate historical trends that change - and
those that don't - and help them appreciate how the past inevitably
informs the present.
