What we can confirm

Multiple reputable news outlets report that authorities in Indian-administered Jammu & Kashmir have issued broad orders requiring schools, colleges, universities, coaching centres and, in some accounts, public libraries to review essentially all books and academic materials for "objectionable" or "anti-national" content and to certify compliance, meaning the core claim of a territory-wide review of every book in educational institutions for being objectionable is accurate, even if phrasing like "every book" is slightly hyperbolic and implementation details may vary.
