Da Munshi Code

Every Indian who claims to be well read should protest against Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Das Munshi. He did not do anything when Dan Brown's book was released in India and became bestseller almost immediately. Every person who read the book immediately went online to find out more about the new theory or Jesus's marriage being put forward. Nor did he do anything when both Discovery and National Geographic showed TV programmes on the book and on the Gnostic Gospels. Then why this furore now?

Is normal public in India really that dumb? Why would they react only when something is shown on the big screen and not when it is broadcast on television in prime time? Why not ask National Geographic to be banned in India?
