Mangesh Vaishampayan, New Delhi: The atmosphere there was tense due to loud announcements made by the workers of the World Book Exhibition, an organization that filled the capital Delhi, outside the two stalls of Gideons International or Publication Society, in the corridor No.4. Or the allegations of the Stolsvar Bible being given free of cost and the spread of religion being spread here by the missionaries. Volunteers in both the hallways gathered on Saturday itself or outside the hallways, ‘We are scared here despite the police,’ said the Maharashtra Times. Or later, both the libraries have police arrangements outside and the copies of the Bible have been kept covered there.
After two years of Corona period, the first Delhi book exhibition filled with direct form is getting a good response. The demonstrations started from 25th February, today is a good Sunday. According to Vishwa Hindu Parishad spokesperson Vinod Bansal, the movement had no direct relation with us. Basically it is not an issue to distribute free books but it is a question of mindset. Bansal alleged that many Christian organizations and missionaries in the country are cropping poor people. Out of these, 308 and 236 or Dalanat Wednesday afternoon, a sudden commotion started. Alleging that Bibles are given free of cost to visitors to Gideon’s hallway, activists of ‘Hindu United Front’ gathered outside the hallway and started making announcements. Hindu Front has said that the volunteers here who visit Dalnala, who speak objectionable things against Hinduism, leave Hinduism and accept Christianity, and they are given many kinds of temptations. After the ruckus started, within a few minutes the police came there and pacified the atmosphere.
There are many book shops on Hindu, Islam, Sikh and Christian religions in the vicinity of the shop. Free yoga classes are being started at one place. And there are many pulses containing Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita. Some Arab country publishers have stalls of books on the ground of progress. According to the activists of Gideons International, they do not force anyone to buy a copy of the Bible, nor do they try to ‘convert’. Gideons International is an Evangelical Christian organization founded in 1899.

About 1000 publishing houses with at least 2000 pulses or the existence of grand texts and Marathi books, the situation seems to be the same as it takes to search for ‘Bhing Padeje’. In the 4th and 5th numbered halls, the hands of the botavar keep mowing as soon as the pulses of Marathi light are scattered. In the same, Hindi and English language are seen strongly along with Marathi. Jotsna, Vishwakarma, Vani, My Mirror, Atlanta are some of the Marathi books in the halls of selected publications. Some Marathi books on children’s literature published by NBT Alikade appear in their store. It doesn’t seem like Maharashtra government or world exhibition should be your hall. Basically bringing books from Maharashtra to Delhi, the expenses for this and the evidence of Marathi book sales happening here are very busy, some publishers say.
