Indian cabinet to allow foriegn printing
by Brian TurnerThe Indian cabinet on Thursday decided to allow foreign newspapers to be printed in India, a decision that will likely be approved by parliament.
The ban on printing foreign publications there has been in force since 1955 when it was decreed by the cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru.
According to India’s information minister said that editions of foreign publications printed in India will have to be identical to editions published elsewhere and cannot be Indian editions that might compete with local publications for readers and advertising.
The decision will end the practice of flying copies of foreign newspapers into the country for sale. That practice has made foreign publications very expensive in India, and has also meant that such publications are often out of date by the time they reach India.
The decision grew out of the action by the Paris-based International Herald Tribune last year when they set up a printing operation in Hyderabad and then refused orders to cease their activity.
The local publisher of the IHT in India, M. J. Akbar, held that because the Indian constitutions guarantees freedom of expression, the rule banning the printing was illegal.
