@DianaEck My take on Harvard's unilateral action that does not behove an institution of its stature. Dr Subramaniam Swamy, a Former Minister of Commerce and Justice, Government of India, was stating his own views with which one could agree or disagree which an Indian newspaper thought fit to publish. No censure was forthcoming from the Indian establishment or from the Muslim community which was supposedly “hurt” with his writing. To the best of one’s knowledge no one has joined issue with Dr. Swamy in any Indian newspaper of repute on the subject excepting some expressing opprobrium alone at what he had written. By scrapping the two courses he has been teaching from 1963 onwards at Harvard the famed University’s Faculty Council has exposed its intolerant attitude towards freedom of speech exclusively at the behest of some committed Left leaning enthusiasts. Dr Swamy’s views did not influence the Government of India to take up his suggestion for implementation nor was it thrown open for a debate. It was a matter purely confined to the territory of India and had nothing to do with Harvard University or the United States of America. Samuel Huntington a Harvard don had correctly written quite succinctly on his views concerning his demographic shift apprehensions in the U.S. and world order. Was he banned by Harvard?
