From Emergency Restrictions to Modern Censorship Battles in India

During India's Emergency, the government controlled what newspapers could write.

Now, people and groups compete to ban things like books and movies they don't like.

The government's film board sometimes stops movies from being released, even if they just have names that someone doesn't like.

They are also now telling filmmakers what they must say, like including quotes from the Prime Minister.

Ironically, banning things can sometimes make more people want to see them, especially in the digital world.
