In a recent email Shroff wrote to us: “Several writer-friends in the U.S., are taking this forward, at various levels. If you have any contacts with writers' guilds, networks, and organizations, please bring this to their attention. I would like to add that I am immensely grateful to International Pen who came in solidly and unconditionally to ensure that the literature of my city stays protected.”

One sure way to help would be to buy his book.
