Asking publishers to withdraw books seems to have become a norm. Now the Ambanis have demanded that all copies of the book Gas Wars be destroyed. The book exposes Reliance Industries Limiteds hold on gas reserves, and is written by journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta. This is not the first instance of the Ambanis not being pleased by an unpleasant word being spoken or written against them. In 1998, Hamish McDonald’s book on Dhirubhai Ambani – The Polyester Prince was not sold in India. It is now available in India for the last couple of years with a new name and some missing chapters. In 2012, legal notices were served to news channels which telecast Arvind Kejriwal’s press conference in which he made allegations against Reliance. It would be safe to say that RIL does not like dissent.
