Jammu and Kashmir Orders Book Review Following BJP's 'Academic Jihad' Protest

The Jammu and Kashmir government has ordered all schools and coaching centers to review and remove books containing 'inappropriate or objectionable content', including material that may violate religious sentiments or harm national interest. Institutions must certify this to their respective education officers within seven days. The directive follows a BJP protest against certain books and the withdrawal of two books containing 'pro-separatist content'. Critics argue that removing these books erases history and impoverishes scholarship.
