Silencing #PerumalMurugan is by any account an unacceptable assault on free speech. Dredging up a 4-year old book & burning it is fascist.By all accounts, #PerumalMurugan is a respected writer and his Madhorubhagan is based on meticulous research. Censoring it is insane. Even if a writer is less reputed, we have no business to resort to violence against a book. Write another book to counter it if you like! Organised, vocal groups cannot hold society to ransom. If we wish to build a great, modern India, this intolerance must stop.Logic, evidence & persuasion are the only acceptable tools in a free society; not inducement or violence. This race to atavism must stop. India is the worlds most complex & diverse nation. Synthesis & syncretism are the foundations of our civilisation. Let us preserve them.
