Hope India wakes up in time before it is too late. These are dangerous signals. Development even if it happens as promised can not be at the cost of democracy.
What about the snooping tactics Kejriwal was looking to employ?Is that not a dangerous signal?

So Hindu Munnani has just said on Puthiya Thalaimurai that they were the ones complained to HRD ministry and the Student organization is banned becoz of speaking degrading speech against Modi and Smith Irani.And making remarks criticizing policies like Ban on beef :hatsoff:

Clearly missed the point. IITM allows political discussions and has recognized the student group which has been a political discussion group.So unless the dean explains how they the particular session/speech is inflammatory how have they have violated the IIT codes?What are all rules were violated by the students group, What's the finding of enquiry. Any parameters the institution has to determine violation.Nothing made known to the Student group.Just send a mail derecognizing them without even seeking explanation.Is this how they sack in UK if u dont follow their protocol. The problem is whether the dean acted independently without any pressure . When the HRD ministry forwards anonymous letters seeking explanation and then a student organization is banned hurriedly without even seeking explanation it creates doubt over the so called process
Is religion same as politics ? Why is religion being dragged in to politics. Would it be ok if people name Islam as religion which breeds extremism ? Would it be ok if christaians are painted as evangelists ? If such pamphlets are distributed would it be ok ?

Such pamphlets won't be made or distributed... Hindus and Hinduism is the soft target... Anybody has full freedom of expression to abuse Hindus and Hinduism... Even Hindus themselves indulge in abusing/turning blind eye to any abuse....

If they had said a word againist another religion the news would be Minority Hatred Spreading during Modi rule.

Doesn't seem to be close to waking up. The students had taken permission from their faculty adviser as was the norm. If anything action should be taken against the faculty adviser instead of stifling the content. Nothing more can be expected from the manuwaadi nut cases in power but what is surprising is the majoritarian attitude creeping into the society and refusing to go away.
The problem is that the parties opposing Modi Sarkar for this step are themselves opposed to free speech. I can understand point that people are making because anything remotely about Muslims would have other parties declaring jihaad :giggle: The sad thing is that BJP supporters are justifying because congress would have done the same for muslims and missing the point that people should be free to express their opinions.

but such opinions can spread communal disharmony and then too you will blame govt. for not handling things the right way.

For free speech just also include Criticism of Periyar, Ambedkar and plenty of demi gods of regional people.This type of free speech will start communal linguistic and regional riots, so much better it should be curtailed

Only political parties won't criticize him .Neither will anyone criticize Anna or Kamaraj in TN .Not even MGR becoz of their popularity .How is this against free speech ? And which demi god of regional people is protected from criticism ?

Just remember Ambedkar cartoons from 1950s created uproar in India. And there are plenty of regional leaders or personalities who have their personality cult all over India whether they are alive or dead. Just criticise them in their state or write a book against them and see eruption of voilence

There will always be nutcases for every party and opinion right or left wing .Who try to sue violence and are intolerant to every view point That is different from govt imposing ban a caste system is criticised or Modi and Irani are criticised Let's be clear there is no attack or criticism of any Hindu gods.So shouldnt generalize it a criticism of Hinduism or its faith

As I said earlier their representatives come on TV debates and openly supported destruction of Hinduism quote saying that Ambedkar said this that's why they are supporting it.None of their representative said that they are not against Hinduism

Yeah, the parties opposing are opposed to free speech. But that should have nothing to do with discussing this incident in its own context. There are numerous anti-BJP and anti-Modi people who are opposed to other previous bans like that on Rushdie. What's the relevance of bringing up such things to them which they are opposed to in the first place. Is it deliberately obfuscation of this topic or simple idiocy?

Have you read the poster? It calls for the destruction of Hinduism. Apparently, in the discussions organized by this group, Hindu Gods and deities were freely mocked. Inside the IIT campus.

Ambedkar asked to follow Buddhism. Why dont these nutcases follow that path of his. Discuss, what Ambedkar really wanted and how far the Indian society has travelled on that path, instead of attacking Hinduism.
