The distribution of the latest edition of The Economist magazine was banned in India for showing Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed territory.
The map is used as an illustration for the front-page story of the latest edition of the magazine on “The world’s most dangerous border” between India and Pakistan.
The customs officers ordered that 28,000 copies of the influential news weekly should have stickers manually placed over a diagram showing the Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed territory.
John Micklethwait, editor in chief of the magazine, while talking to newsmen, termed the India’s action as an attempt of censorship over media and said that through such tactics the facts could not be hidden. He said that the map published in the magazine was impartial and accurate.
