On 18th October, 2010, three Mumbai groups organised a reading of passages from Rohinton Mistry's books, a discussion on censorship followed where many spoke against the Shiv Sena's Fascist tirade against a masterpiece of world literature and its ban. The reading held at Press Club, Mumbai was a success with good media coverage worldwide. 

Here are video extracts from the meeting. The first portions where Dolly Thakore read general passages from the book and brought the attendees up to date with the book, have been omitted.
