I think the ban smacks of fascism. The ban has also given unnecessary importance to the book.
I know of lot of 'defenders' of partition in this very forum on 'practical' grounds.

This is first book came out, which truthfully states, British educated India born Elites e.g Nehru were power hungry. Which is very honest assessment. After getting power, what Nehru did, he placed all his extended family in Ambassadorship or top notch position and left over went to other Elites. These elites never dared to fight election from Metro infact they opted for remote part of India. Nehru from Phallupur in UP.
Without Modi ban, congress would have started riots on this book.
Sardar Patel thinking is no different then Modi. banning this book creates interest in book and life of Sardar Patel and expose elitist of India.
