Who was Lalai Singh Yadav, and how did this case reach the Supreme Court? In this video, we explore the forgotten story of Lalai Singh Yadav, a freedom fighter, publisher, writer, and Buddhist activist who brought Periyar E.V. Ramasamy's True Ramayana to North India. After the Hindi translation was published in 1968, the Uttar Pradesh government seized the book in 1969, claiming it hurt religious sentiments. The legal battle reached the Allahabad High Court, and later the Supreme Court of India, where a bench led by Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer, Justice P.N. Bhagwati, and Justice Syed Murtaza Fazal Ali dismissed the government's appeal in 1976.
