In 1985 there was a petition against the Quran in the High Court of Calcutta. In 2011 there was a similar petition against Bhagavad Gita in Russia. Again in 2021 a petition was filed in the Supreme Court of India against 26 verses of the Quran. In this book the author brings out that these petitions are a part of a broader strategy to malign religion and to create dissension in society. The book concludes with an appeal to all responsible persons to stand up for Justice and to contribute their might in combating communalism.
