21. Groups that have banned the book and Citation

According to "Wendy's Review", "The God Of Small things was not officially banned, but it faced controversy and challenges in India. Roy faced an obscenity trial for her depiction of love between a Christian woman and a low caste Hindu servant. The novel included pedophilia and incest, but apparently those issues were not what made the novel 'obscene.'" As for who challenged it I couldn't find any information on that.
