Ahmedabad school fined Rs 10,000 for keeping 'I Am Malala' in its library
- Anand Niketan School in Ahmedabad was fined Rs 10,000 after a controversy over keeping Malala Yousafzai's memoir in its library.
- The school removed the book, made daily prayer mandatory and sacked four staff members following scrutiny by education authorities.
- I Am Malala is a Nobel laureate's memoir about being shot by the Taliban at 15 for demanding girls' right to education — taught in schools worldwide.
- Critics say penalising a school for stocking a book about a girl's right to education contradicts India's own commitment to girls' education.
