TN Varsity Removes Arundhati Roy's Book From Course For "Glorifying Maoists"

Tamil Nadu's Manonmaniam Sundaranar University has removed Arundhati Roy's book from its PG English syllabus for "glorifying Maoists". The book, ‘Walking with the Comrades', was removed following the objections raised by ABVP. The varsity Vice-Chancellor K Pitchumani said the matter came to his knowledge quite recently, following which a committee was formed that recommended its withdrawal. The book was replaced with an essay anthology, My Native Land: Essays on Nature.
