The word ‘BAN’ is again trending in social media and making news headlines after the call of action against non-Hindus by the religious group Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). While all these days, the ban was called upon by various institutions over non-living things such as a ban on the internet, Porn, Meat or Beef but not its turn of humans grounding their religions. VHP has called on a ban against the non-Hindu’s in the Navratri festival displaying banners across the Gujarat state.
