    Is Satanaic Verses really Banned in India. As far as I know, all there exists is an import ban on this book. But if you chose to buy it overseas, or borrow it from a friend who might have a copy, it's perfectly legal to read it. Am I wrong ?

He speaks about freedom of speech from an extremely objective view and this book is in no way a justification or an apology for his actions. Must read for anyone interested in this topic. Along with the Cartoon Crisis, he's spoken about Holocaust Denial, the human rights movement in Russia, mentioned his discussions with Rushdie and various other topics. Happy reading 😊🤓

A bit of looking around, and you'd find which 'ideologies' he is mentioning here.
