✦AI Summary
Kashmir University and regional educational institutions are screening and removing books deemed 'objectionable' or 'anti-India' following official directives. Scholars and faculty express concern that this culling process will harm academic rigor and encourage self-censorship.
Over 50 academic departments of the Kashmir University (KU) and Valley-wide colleges and schools are carrying out a comprehensive screening of books to remove literature suspected to contain ‘anti-India’ or ‘pro-separatist’ content, in the wake of official orders. Meanwhile, J&K regional parties reacted sharply to the development.
