Dear list members, Shouldn't many of the volumes of the BORI critical edition now be in the public domain?. This wikipedia page on the Indian copyright law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_India states that for works published before 1958 the Indian Copyright Act, 1914 is applicable. And the Indian copyright act of 1914 (link below) https://www.wipo.int/edocs/lexdocs/laws/en/in/in121en. pdf page 20 (pdf page 16) states: 3. The term for which copyright shall subsist shall, except as otherwise exressly provided by this Act, be the life of the author and a period of 50 years after his death:. . . .
