'A Muslim can’t teach us our dharma' — BHU Sanskrit students want professor out

V-C says can’t reject anyone based on religion. Feroz Khan, the assistant professor appointed to teach Sanskrit, says he is feeling insulted by students' protest.

Prabha, you are just doing the same thing the BJP is doing : conflating Hinduism and Hindutva.

Hindutva by itself is morally indefensible ; why allow it to hide behind Hinduism?

Agreed, Hinduism itself has a long way to go before we can create an egalitarian society in India.

The "boil the ocean" approach isn't going to work ; let's prioritize the struggle against Hindutva and save our nation first, over reform in Hinduism.

Please don’t do false equivalence. Hindutva ideology did not do this Hindus did this, same with many other things. Let’s stop pretending that majority Hindus are turning bigoted

@Deepsealioness @AmitRamesan @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan We keep on denying, but everywhere FB, Twitter & WA groups, the story is the same. We label them as Hindutva, but all of them happen to be our own friends, colleagues & relatives. Just handful of Hindus who r openly calling out the hatred. V keep on saying 31% when almost the entire country voted for Modi with a massive mandate. It's time we recognize this. At the moment, I personally feel, all is lost and V r no different than the Nazis.

You forgot the EVMs, friend!!

I am finding more & more bhakts unhappy with snoopy. Some themselves feel the pinch, others have bros/ sis/ dear friends feeling the pinch and so, the change!

Neither ultra rich nor ultra poor will feel it - one has too much money to bother, the other isn't bothered coz they haven't seen money...

It is the middle class that feels it and the majority of us are middle class!!

I don't think we should blame EVMs whenever the result goes against us; look at MH results.

Besides, do consider the various opinions here that Mr. Modi still enjoys substantial, if waning, support.

Let's prepare for the scary scenario : there's no fixing.

There's a lot of good work being done by @naukarshah , @poonamjourno et al. on EVM issues in parallel, so I'd say , once again : we should prepare for the scary scenario of "No fixing."

@AmitRamesan @naukarshah @poonamjourno @NSure @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan i never believed that EVM have been solely responsible. I have asked so many people, shopkeepers, uber drivers, househelp here in Pune, Maharashtra. All of them voted 4 Modi in lok sabha elections. The state elections too, they voted for BJP. There is a huge class divide. For them Modi is a cult figure, who has destroyed the rich & the corrupt Khangress & he is correcting the wrong
@cprogrammer @AmitRamesan @naukarshah @poonamjourno @NSure @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan this is because all fear for their life now whoever speaks the truth either often visited by various arms of police or tax officials if this two doesn't work they send goons

@st_in @cprogrammer @AmitRamesan @naukarshah @poonamjourno @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan

That's true only if you're someone sort of well known. These bastards don't control our thoughts & actions like the Gestapo once did - totally!!

@NSure @cprogrammer @AmitRamesan @naukarshah @poonamjourno @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan when leaders of main opposition run for bail between all the courts what message it gives to poor common citizens if u go through the law books u can see how effectively they created a space for political interventions simply means u can be haunted or pampered or both under laws nobody is accountable to anybody that is how they got courage to implement DeMo like disasters

@st_in @cprogrammer @AmitRamesan @naukarshah @poonamjourno @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan

It gives the message that they better keep their mouths shut. To the floating butterflies.

It gives the message that this govt is CHEAP, to the stinging bees.

In due course, the butterflies will turn to bees and sting the cheapos
