A vendor operating at the Bhopal Railway Station was directed to take down a book by prolific writer and historian, the late Khushwant Singh. The Chairman of the Railway Board’s Passenger Service Committee (PSC), Ramesh Chandra Ratn was on an inspection drive when he spotted ‘Women, Sex, Love and Lust’ and ordered its removal. He remained adamant despite being informed of Singh’s impeccable credentials as an author of renown. Referring to the title as “obscene” Ratn said, “We don’t want to spoil future generations. Chetan Bhagat, too, is a writer of national fame.” (PTI).
