Is BJP/RSS Strategically ‘Planting’ its People in Academia? A case of IIT Bombay
Allegations of planting ideologically driven favored people, in the
academic positions were regularly made by the combined forces of BJP/RSS
while it was in opposition. However, after obtaining power the BJP/RSS
combine has unscrupulously planted its ‘own’ people with even more
brazenness. During previous regimes the academic positions in
institutions of excellence, such as, IIT were, generally, not interfered
with. Moreover, the favoured ones never unabashedly flaunted their
party based affiliations publicly. In the BJP/RSS regime shameless
exhibition of partisan affiliation has been observed. [ . . ]
