I am amazed to know that a criminal case under the Indecent Representation of Women Act has been filed against ‘Grihalakshmi’ magazine for publishing the picture of a breastfeeding woman in the cover page of its latest edition.
I fail to understand how feeding a baby could be lascivious or prurient?.
Read about the case and what the higher courts have said in earlier such cases here:

Here are some postal stamps around the world- from Asia (including India issued in 1980) to Africa to Europe which promote breast feeding.
