AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Jammu & Kashmir Book Crackdown: The J&K School Education Department has withdrawn two government-library titles—Personalities and Legends of J&K and Great Personalities of Jammu and Kashmir—after allegations they “glorify” separatist leaders and convicted terrorists; Police Action: the Counter Intelligence wing registered an FIR under BNS and UAPA and raided the publisher’s premises, seizing records; Accountability in Publishing: eight education officials were suspended and a high-level probe ordered into how the books were approved and distributed under the Samagra Shiksha scheme; AI & Voice Rights in Books: ElevenLabs released a free AI-narrated Odyssey audiobook using a Michael Caine voice clone, reigniting debate over celebrity licensing and AI narration; Reading Under Scrutiny: a viral backlash erupted after a commuter was filmed reading How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, sparking a wider argument about privacy and “book shaming.”
