Hindutva is one of the worst religious movements in the world.
Agreed. That decision by the Delhi University Academic Council is ridiculous and will now be subject to the scorn that it deserves from both the Indian academic community as well as the community of international scholars who study religions in South Asia. I hope religious communities in India that follow various versions of the Ramayana object as well.
What's next? Will faculty members of Delhi University's philosophy department who assign essays by the late Daya Krishna, calling into question textual and philosophical aspects of the Vedic corpus, get their syllabi "revised" for them too? Is the entire corpus of Romila Thapar off-limits to history departments as well?
Shameful decision.
I'd not yet seen this report, phk; thanks for posting.
