Title Censorship On Artistic Freedom In Contemporary Illiberal Regimes: A Comparative Analysis Between Bangladesh And India
Summary Illiberal regimes derive legitimacy from the construction of dominant narratives. To perpetuate the regime, they use censorship (legal and extra-legal) as a tool. Bangladesh and India, two postcolonial countries, are known to have illiberal regimes since 2013/2014. This research aims to identify how the measures taken for securing the dominant narratives have impacted the censorship in artistic freedom of these two countries. To that end, the incidents of legal and extra-legal censorship in the post-2013/14 era are analyzed. The analysis suggests patterns of censorship with a substantial similarity between the two countries.
