Excerpts
The authorities in the north-east Indian state of Nagaland have ordered an immediate ban on both the film and the novel of the Da Vinci Code.
They have expressed "serious resentment" against Indian censors for allowing the film to be screened.
One of the main slogans of the state's leading separatist group, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) , is "Nagaland for Christ".
The state government has warned owners of cinemas, theatres and video parlours that under the terms of the Indian penal code, they face fines or imprisonment if they show the film.
And in related news, India tells the Pope to take hike.

Yes, and the bannings were wrong. You are once again proving my point that too many Indian states are suppressing religious (or anti-religious) speech. I don't care if it is supressed by Hindu, Christian, or Muslim, in every case it is wrong.
