It was intriguing when Harvard sacked a professor for newspaper co-ed written two years ago, and well-forgotten. A closer looks reveals a lot of facts. 1. Dr. Swamy, the victim, is single-handedly fighting for the largest democracy in the world, against the government for a scam which squandered aprox $40 billions http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/subramaniam-swamy-busted-the-2g-scam/1/153417.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2G_spectrum_scam 2. Antonio Maino through different channels made huge donations to Harvard when Rahul Jehangir Gandhi was studying there, but apparently flunked repeatedly. Rahul is the heir to India's most powerful political Maino-Jehangir-Gandhi dynasty, with whom Dr. Swami is in a direct clash http://www.janataparty.org/sonia.html 3. Diana Eck, who spearheaded the motion against Dr. Swamy, is a fan of MF Hussain, a man who escaped India with over 1000 police cases for spreading religious hate and paintings of Hindu Godesses in nude http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._F._Husain, https://twitter.com/#!/DianaEck/status/79013667668115456 . She is a lesbian http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2011/10/13/LGBT-candlelight-vigil/ , but does not have issues with Saudis who execute women on the smallest evidence of sexual deviance, welcoming Saudi prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz in 2005 with donation of 20 million to found an Islamic Studies Center. 4. Harvard supports Michael Witzel whose sacking is demanded by nearly 3500 signatures in petition for bigotry- http://www.petitiononline.com/stopIER/petition.html . 5. Harvard supports prof Sugata, who is a fan of islamic bigot Yaseen Malik http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasin_Malik FIRE, a civil liberties group with a focus on academia, cautioned in its letter to Faust that the group is �concerned about the threat to freedom of expression� that may come about from that attention. http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2011/7/29/fire-letter-subramanian-swamy-summer-school/ Support Freedom of Speech via: (a) TELEPHONE CALL (very effective) Call up Harvard University's President and complain, and ask her to reinstate Dr. Swamy's courses.

Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, the ethnic Pakistani Northern Virginia man accused of overseeing a front group for the Pakistani intelligence services -- and using political contributions to lobby Congress for two decades -- pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges Wednesday, of having received millions of $ from ISI/Pak Govt., and used it for anti-Indian lobbying throughout the World, with bases in different Countries, under directions of ISI. Paradoxically, the bliions of $ the US Govt. gives as aid, finds its way to many anti-US activities like Fai's Kashmir front. It might be remembered that ISI head Hamid Gul was present at CIA Hqtrs. when 9/11 was happening giving running commentary to his boss Musharraf of the entire episode. Even CIA and FBI was penetrated effectively by ISI. The fact that Dr.Bose with ISI connections through her Paki husband reveals the depth of tentacles of ISI even in Harvard, considered to be the pinnacle of academic activties and a temple for education. The more so, since Dr.Bose of the History Dept. succeeded in influencing her Superiors and the top officials to cause damage to the reputaion of Dr.Swamy, a visiting Professor of the University since 16 years, for an article published in another Country, India, a sad and dangerous precedent created. Adopting the same standards, several academecians of U.S. could be meted out with similar action for publishing articles denigrating other faiths or regions and a pandora's box could be opened!!
Yeah, screw all who voted this thread one star Harvard has come to the aid of Islamic fundamentalists in their quest to dominate India and South Central Asia by their dismissal of Indian Prof. S. Swarmy for writing of Muslim persecution in India. For shame! .... This situation affects us all. The West must understand that silencing men like Professor Swamy is in a sense an act of Jihad. We are aiding the Islamic fundamentalists in their quest for domination in India and South Central Asia.

Harvard Punishes Free Speech in India http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cleo-paskal/harvard-punishes-free-spe_b_1152525.html In response to the triple bombing in Mumbai on July 13, 2011 that left 26 people dead, Former Indian Law Minister Dr. Subramanian Swamy published an op-ed in a mainstream Indian daily called 'How To Wipe Out Islamic Terror'. Dr. Swamy is not much loved by the current Indian government as it was through his anti-corruption campaigning efforts that the previous Telecoms Minister ended up in jail on corruption charges, and he is actively pursuing other high ranking members of the government on similar charges. The article was unquestionably provocative, but what it provoked was debate -- a good thing for any democracy, especially on a difficult topic. It's hard to know what will spark the next great thought -- an article to disagree with, a blog post, a tweet. Whatever it is, India is strong enough, and mature enough, to handle it. Even if its politicians and Harvard are not
Yeah, screw all who voted this thread one star Harvard Fires Critic of Jihad In a crushing blow to academic freedom, Harvard University has censored and fired a prominent professor because university administrators didn't like what he said about Islam. The tenured professors at Harvard, who cannot be fired in order to protect their freedom to express themselves, have failed to rally to the cause of the fired professor -- and worse, the expulsion was occasioned in part by a faculty vote: Read more: http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/12/harvard_fires_critic_of_jihad.html#ixzz1hLoWJ9Vc
