From books being banned to students and faculty facing criminal charges and being jailed, the past few years have been especially tough on India's universities.

These tables – under six broad heads but disaggregated to record the separate experiences of faculty and students – are an updated, expanded version of the annexures first prepared in June 2020 by Nandini Sundar and Gowhar Fazli as part of a status report in response to a call for submissions on academic freedom by the UN Special Rapporteur on the protection and promotion of the right to freedom of opinion and expression.

The contents of the tables are based on research and inputs by Sumit Kumar, Rajat Sonkar, Ananya Redkar and Nandini Sundar. The entries are not exhaustive, but merely illustrative. Readers are encouraged to fill any gaps that they notice by emailing indiaacademicfreedom@gmail.com.

1. Censorship of books and interference with university syllabi

This is not an exhaustive survey of the books and films that various rightwing groups have objected to and tried to ban but tries to highlight the increasing interference with university syllabi. In some cases, the objection is to the authors of the book, not the content of the book itself.
