MusafirSo a professor isn't allowed to teach a subject because of his religion. It is #HinduRashtra already.
This also points out to the ugly and prevalent truth that we are still not over the divide that the country has always suffered from in the past. It's even more sad to see the divide growing wider today.
Languages and academia should not be associated to any religion.
As Ravish Kumar rightly puts it, the New India is a Bujdil India.
बुजदिल translates to weak and coward in english.
Hope and light from Varanasi.
The Joint Action Commitee of the
Banaras Hindu University comes out in the support of Prof. Firoze Khan.
Neelam Sumbrui@musafir This is simply amazing!! A slap on the face of toxic Hindutva..
I can bet my life that none of them would even know what Sanatan Dharma actually means.
'If Firoze Khan joins, then he will want a holiday every Friday'; protesting BHU students unfazed by RSS reproach, say they are defending Sanatan Dharma.

A RSS leader, on the other hand, backed the appointment of Khan. Dev Pujari, the RSS national organisation secretary, urged the BHU students to withdraw their protests, remarking that anybody can learn, speak and teach Sanskrit. Unfazed, the protesting students said that the statement of RSS has no bearing on them.

Shinjini | Modern Gypsy@musafir honestly, this is the first time I’ve heard Santan Dharma bandied about so much. And even I don’t know what it means. I think they’re latching on to it to get some distance from the Hindutva tag, maybe?
@shinjini I remember what Gandhi once said about Sanatan Dharma in one of the last prayer meetings that he held. He said, "people are writing letters to me saying that I am a Muslim and I support Jinnah. They even shower me with abuses that I can't repeat here. To them my answer is that I am a Sanatani Hindu and that the reason I have no issues with any faith or religion. I am a Sanatani Hindu, that's why I am a Muslim, I am a Christian, I am a Buddhist and I am a Sikh."
Sai Vishal@musafir the law should be putting the kids behind bars. This is purely hate crime.
