J&K Forfeits 25 Books: What the Action Means

The J&K government has banned 25 books by labeling them as harmful to the region.

This action, called forfeiture, prevents the books from being printed or sold.

The government claims the books promote ideas against the Indian state and incite violence.

This decision relies on a law that allows such actions if the content endangers India's unity.

Those affected by the ban have the option to challenge it in court.
