Jammu University has banned and blacklisted the authors and publishers of two books it alleges contain content inappropriate to Indian national interest, ordering the withdrawal of all material by authors Hilal Ahmad, Santosh Meena, and Dr Sushant Giri and publishers Oberoi Book Service and Anurag Prakashan from all university offices, departments, and library holdings. A comprehensive audit has been ordered across all rectors, directors, and heads of teaching departments to ensure no such material remains. The books had already been withdrawn from Jammu and Kashmir school libraries earlier this month following their introduction under the Samagra Shiksha scheme. Three publishers and printers were arrested on 12 July 2026 and remanded to ten days of police custody from 13 July.
Kashmir Conflict states what this campaign represents with complete clarity. The Indian regime is conducting a purge of books from university libraries and arresting publishers for printing material that documents Kashmir's history from a perspective it does not control. This is not a legal dispute over content. It is the burning of books by administrative order, the arrest of those who printed them, and the systematic removal of historical documentation that contradicts the false, Hindu-centric narrative the Indian regime has imposed on Kashmiri education since 2019. Authors are blacklisted. Publishers are in police custody. Libraries are being audited for unapproved truth. The Indian regime does not ban books because they endanger public order. It bans books because they remember accurately. That is the only criterion that matters to an occupation built on historical fabrication.
