Crowd loots books at Delhi World Book Fair

At the New Delhi World Book Fair, a crowd of people rushed to grab books from stalls, causing chaos.

This behavior was seen as disrespectful to the books, the hard work of authors and publishers, and the idea of valuing knowledge.

The author suggests that people might be going to book fairs not to read, but to show off on social media.

They think we should value books for the knowledge they hold, not just for how they look or the status they give.

The incident shows a need for society to think about why we value books and learning.
