Two questions

 * Is this book merely a collection of events or does it have a unifying theme?

Fair use rationale for Image:CalcutaQuranPetition.jpg
Image:CalcutaQuranPetition.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Subject
What is this article about? The book or the petition? TrangaBellam (talk) 16:27, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
 * It appears that The Times of India archives are digitized by Proquest. This probably contains some reporting about the subject — (The Times of India published three articles by Dr. Rafiq Zakaria in praise of the Quran).
 * The Telegraph of Calcutta (May 9, 10, 14, 18), The Statesman (May 9, 13, 14), and Navabharat Times (May 22) are the newspaper sources, referred to in Goel's book. The span extends to roughly a fortnight and WP:NOTNEWS likely applies.
 * Hmm, the incident appears to have some deservedly-negative coverage in scholarly journals but Goel's book does not appear to have interested any scholar:
