Nearly four decades after India banned the import of Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, it's now possible to bring the book into the country because of a legal loophole, by Omkar Khandaqar reports.
Writer Salman Rushdie spent years in exile after the publication of his 1988 novel, The Satanic Verses. A fatwa by Iran's then Supreme Leader had called for his death.Even his birth country, India, had banned the importation of his novel.
In 2019, an Indian citizen legally challenged the Customs Department's ban, saying it impacted his freedom to read.
Local media says the case took five years in the Delhi High Court, as the customs authorities repeatedly asked for time to find the ban notification.
With all the delay, a judge said in his order that they can only presume that no such notification exists.No notification means no ban.For NPR News, I'm Omkar Khandekar in Mumbai.
