The Calcutta Quran Petition
Himangshu Kishore Chakraborty letter
Himangshu Kishore Chakraborty letter
------------------------------------

On July 20, 1984, H.K. Chakraborty wrote to the Secretary, Department of Home Government of [West Bengal](/wiki/West_Bengal "West Bengal"), demanding the ban of the [Quran](/wiki/Quran "Quran"). He wrote again on 14 August that year, but received no response. Chakraborty lived in [Bangladesh](/wiki/Bangladesh "Bangladesh") before moving to [Kolkata](/wiki/Kolkata "Kolkata") after [Partition of India](/wiki/Partition_of_India "Partition of India").

Chakraborty thereafter met Chandmal Chopra, who also wrote to the Department of Home Government of West Bengal on March 16, 1985\. But Chopra's letter, too, went unanswered. Chopra therefore filed a writ Petition in the High Court.


What are some reasons why someone might demand a ban on the Quran?
