Orissa bans book on Aurobindo

The Orissa government has decided to strictly enforce a ban on Peter Heehs' The Lives of Sri Aurobindo after state CID reports indicated that circulation of the book could inflame religious sentiments.

The ban would be imposed by invoking Section 95 of the Criminal Procedure Code as the book reportedly contains defamatory content about the spiritual leader.

It is published by Penguin India.
