Publishers Rupa on Monday agreed to ‘address’ the concerns regarding a book on Hinduism by US scholar Wendy Doniger put forth by Delhi-based group SBAS which had forced Penguin to recall another book by the same author recently.
RK Mehra, chairman, Aleph Book Company, operating under parent company Rupa Publishers, on Monday sent a signed letter to Dina Nath Batra, convener of the group, Shiksha Bachao Andolan Samiti (SBAS).
‘Upon receiving your objections, we sent these to four scholars independently for reviews as this is common practice in such cases. We expect a response from the concerned scholars next week and shall deal with your concerns as required,’ said Mehra in a signed letter.
Mehra’s response comes in the wake of Batra’s email to him dated 3 March as well as a letter dated 6 March.
