The Rohinton Mistry book banning story has been bubbling along for a few days now, but the Daily Telegraph has more. The Canadian-based author has now criticized Mumbai University after it relented to demands from an extremist group and removed the author’s novel, Such a Long Journey, from its literature syllabus.

Shiv Sena, a violent political group, has already burned copies of the book because they believe the book is disparaging about Marathis, the indigenous from the Mumbai region.
