Is ruskin bond's god save the beetle on public domain?

As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, Ruskin Bond's works, including "God Save the Beetle," are still under copyright protection, as he is a living author. Generally, works enter the public domain a certain number of years after the author's death, depending on the copyright laws of the country. Therefore, "God Save the Beetle" is not in the public domain and cannot be freely reproduced or distributed without permission. Always check the latest copyright regulations for the most accurate information.
