Mumbai university book ban sparks free speech fears

MUMBAI: Writers, filmmakers and social commentators have expressed fears about freedom of speech in India after hardline Hindu activists forced an award-winning book to be taken off a university syllabus.

The University of Mumbai withdrew Rohinton Mistry’s novel “Such A Long Journey” from its undergraduate arts degree course because of complaints that it contained “foul and derogatory references” to the Shiv Sena party.

Members of the party’s youth wing, led by Aditya Thackeray, the 20-year-old grandson of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray burned copies of the Mumbai-born author’s novel, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1991.

The tactics are nothing new for the Shiv Sena, which pushed through the change in name of the city of Bombay to Mumbai in 1995, but the strength of the condemnation of those involved is unusual.

Afghan transition cannot be put off ”indefinitely”: Clinton

KABUL: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a major international conference in Kabul on Tuesday that a transition to Afghan leadership was too important to put off indefinitely.

US President Barack Obama late last year ordered an extra 30,000 American troops into Afghanistan as part of a push designed to reverse Taliban momentum but said he wanted to start bringing US forces home from July 2011.

“The July 2011 date captures both our sense of urgency and the strength of our resolve. The transition process is too important to push off indefinitely,” Clinton told the conference of about 70 organisations and countries.

“But this date is the start of a new phase, not the end of our involvement. We have no intention of abandoning our long-term mission of achieving a stable, secure, peaceful Afghanistan,” she said.
