protected article
I cannot edit the article because it is protected. Please make this change in the timeline, which gives the important fact that the banning of the book was spearheaded by the eminent politician Shahabuddin:
Replace: October 5, 1988: India bans the novel's importation.
with:
- October 5, 1988: India bans the novel's importation, after Indian parliamentarian Syed Shahabuddin petitioned the government of Rajiv Gandhi to ban the book.[1][2][3] In 1993 Syed Shahabuddin tried unsuccessfully to ban another book (Ram Swarup's "Hindu View of Christianity and Islam").[4][5]

Cat Stevens
Cat Stevens said at one point that Salman Rushdie should be killed because of this book. I'll try to find the quote and put it in. It's a legitamate quote, so don't erase it when I put it in.
