Publish and Be Damned - Censorship and Intolerance in India

The essays collected in this volume explore the relationship between political and social censorship, and, more significantly, the rise of an insidious communal censorship that seeks to divide civil society and intimidate all those who value the gift of self-expression.They show us how forces of censorship in our society use lumpen power to threaten this gift of free speech as they burn books, silence dissent, destroy works of art, and intimidate the artist, researcher, writer, film-maker, actor and free thinker.

Eseurile colectate in acest volum exploreaza relatia dintre cenzura politica si sociala si, mai semnificativ, aparitia unei cenzuri comunale insidioase care urmareste sa imparta societatea civila si sa-i intimideze pe toti cei care apreciaza darul expresiei de sine. fortele de cenzura din societatea noastra folosesc puterea fortata pentru a ameninta acest dar al libertatii de exprimare in timp ce ard carti, reduc la tacere disidenta, distrug lucrarile de arta si intimideaza artistul, cercetatorul, scriitorul, producatorul de filme, actorul si liberul ganditor.
