Historian's Bhopal Lit Fest Session Cancelled

A historian named Aabhas Maldahiyar was supposed to talk about his new book at a big book festival in Bhopal.

But his talk was cancelled because a newspaper called Swadesh said he was praising a historical figure named Babur, which he denies.

He says the newspaper got it wrong and that he actually criticizes Babur in his book.

He also says he got threats from some groups.

He's upset because he thinks the people who cancelled his talk didn't even read his book.

He wrote to the Prime Minister to ask for help so that historians can share their work without being stopped.
