Delhi University dropping the Delhi Sultanate paper from its postgraduate history curriculum while literally being seated in Delhi – the very seat of that Sultanate – is irony at its peak! Being in Delhi and attempting to erase Delhi’s own history requires some serious chutzpah. Next, will Delhi University drop Delhi from its name?
Even worse, will DU’s postgraduate students end up learning that the beautiful structures in the nation’s capital, like Qutub Minar, Hauz Khas, Tughlaqabad Fort, Feroz Shah Kotla, Lodhi Gardens, and so on, were built by extraterrestrial beings, since medieval North India is being wished away?!
Academics, especially those who are pursuing the historian’s craft, should stand up to such efforts that seek to make a mockery of our higher education system. India’s history encompasses all its periods and offers valuable lessons for the future. We can erase them only at our own peril!
While convicts like Ram Rahim gets a free pass, Prof. Mahmudabad is under arrest for 'speaking up' against the Hindutva regime.
Hounding of academics & silencing free speech will not be tolerated.

వైద్య విద్యలో సెల్ఫ్ ఫైనాన్స్ విధానాన్ని వ్యతిరేకించిన @JaiTDP, ఆ విధానాన్ని రద్దు చేయకుండా వైద్య విద్యను ప్రైవేటీకరణ వైపు అడుగులు వేయడం దుర్మార్గం...

Deeply distressed by the news of the passing of Shri Sitaram Yechury, a veteran leader with over five decades of political journey and a tall leader of the CPM. Since starting as a student activist,
Shri Yechuri had always strived to be the voice of the downtrodden and common people.
My heartfelt condolences to his family, scores of his admirers and the entire CPM fraternity. His commitment to public service and the nation will always be remembered and greatly missed🙏🙏
Till the very end, Sitaram Yechury stood in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people. He was champion for justice in the truest sense.
His speech from last June is an absolute must-watch.
