dangers of censorship

the middle ages once again



censorship is based on the prevailing norms/ mores of society
where as art is eternal

Galileo was sentenced to life imprisonment for declaring dat the earth moves round the sun
whereas bible is suppposed to say the contrary

evolution theory of Darwin
was not published for a long time
becoz it was believed dat it was contrary to the bible story about creation


folllowing books have been/ were banned by various states:

satanic verses ....... Rushdie
Lady Chattterlee's Lover
Lollita
Lajjia ... Bangla Desh
the Kamasutra
the Khajuraho caves depicting sex positions


more later....
please comment
i intend to blast Keshi ......
