Self-censorship vs FOE?

IN Media Watch Briefs | 13/01/2016

Caravan has published 'The Father of Man', a short story by Saikat Majumdar on its web exclusive Vantage section, with the explanation that the story 'was summarily dropped by Mint Lounge, just as the paper was on the point of carrying it in a year-end fiction special issue'. The decision was reportedly taken after advice from the newspaper's legal team because of the 'violence of the words' in the story.
