Doniger and the publisher were taken to court like any civil society would. Publisher chose to drop the book instead of facing legal consequences.
By the way, another publisher did publish the same book in India. Any neutral sources for the so called "violent threats"?
One of her book titles literally is "Eroticism in the Mythology of Siva" [1] And yet, there were no riots or burning down the publisher or the cancel culture that Hindu-phobes routinely engage in.

- rudiv 6y agoOh, it's you again? I suppose Penguin can't be trusted when they say one of the reasons they withdrew the book was the safety of their employees? Great job manipulating language to make it seem like Hindus are being oppressed though. As people say on the internet, "muh hindu khatre mein hain!!!?!". I wish you death before you cause the death of my country.
