Book banning is a kind of censorship proposed by governmental authorities, institutions, or private persons to prevent the dissemination of the material contained in a book by removing it from the public's view. All of this is being done because there are concerns about the book's substance. By trying to stop unauthorised reading and restricting people's freedom to read for themselves, this European practise of early modern Roman Catholic Counter-Reformation against both radical Catholics and early Protestants is unintentionally revived when books are banned. It also, has its roots in China where authors were assassinated for writing anything against the authority. Now, in India, the idea of banning books wasn't known until the British came in, and sustaining their dominance was the only goal. This was the motive behind the British government's colonial-era ban on any books or articles critical of them or casting doubt on their authority. In order to uphold British imperial power, writers and authors were frequently accused of "sedition" and imprisoned. However, to be able to express oneself creatively in writing or voice, India now grants us Fundamental Rights like Freedom of voice and Expression. If we make sure they don't interfere with the right of others to a tranquil life. Still, numerous publications that are prohibited in India cast doubt on this right to freedom that is given to all citizens of the nation; these works include "Adivasi will not Dance," "Lajja," and "Unarmed Victory." The right to freedom of speech and expression is significantly compromised by the prohibitions on these works. Book banning weeks is an initiative developed in several parts of the world to raise awareness about this behaviour of Central or state governments. Supporting this cause is necessary, it can be accomplished by standing up and speaking out against the unwarranted censorship and restrictions imposed.
