Tami Nadu Government bans two books Friday August 28,2015

The Tamil Nadu Government has banned two books —

• Venthar Kulathin Iruppidam Ethu, penned by K. Senthil Mallar and 
• Madurai Veeran Unmai Varalaru written by Kuzhanthai Royappan

on the ground that they had contained false, objectionable and distorted ideas, criticising all communities and accusing them of casteism

Senthil Kumar is the founder of Mallar Meetpu Kalam and the book was published by his organisation.

The book ‘Madurai Veeran Unmai Varalaur’ was published by Adhi Tamizhar Peravai in Tiruchi

''The State government is of the opinion that the book contains assertions that are certain to cause disharmony and feeling of enmity between different castes and communities and promote communal tension affecting public peace and tranquility,” said an order issued by Home Secretary Apurva Varma.
