This volume traces the trajectory of debates by Indian feminists over the last 25 years around the issue of gender and censorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCensorship was institutionalized by the colonial British government, and has remained a much-contested government institution. In a multicultural society with diverse tastes and moral standards, who is to draw the line? And what reasonable curbs can be imposed on the freedom of expression? Can artistic merit be conflated with publics good? Is the desire to purge the public arena of unnecessarily prurient and lascivious images actually in the interests of women and of society at large?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE EDITOR:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBRINDA BOSE is currently a fellow at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, New Delhi.
