The two hooks have potential but need work. ALT1 is simply too long and needs to be made more concise. ALT0 lacks context for those who live outside India, as the libel case doesn't seem to be well-known outside of that country. And I'm not sure if the word "infamous" should be in the hook per
WP:WTA.

Hi, I came by to promote this, and first did some editing on the article. The ALT3 hook fact needs an
inline cite after the sentence about the books being poisonous. It's also unclear from the placement of the bolded subject what exactly Satyaprakash is. Personally, I think the hook could be a lot better, focusing on the subject rather than this extraneous detail.
