The text strategically avoids overtly obscene terminology, instead opting for metaphor (“the river of desire”) and innuendo. This linguistic choice positions the work within a grey area of Indian obscenity law, where “substantial sexual content” may be permissible if not “prurient” or “degrading”. Nevertheless, the father‑daughter motif triggered a Section 292 (Obscenity) complaint, culminating in the 2023 Kerala High Court ruling that deemed the PDF “obscene” for glorifying incest, ordering its removal from public servers.
