The Darkest Hour of Harvard

Protest note I sent to the president of Harvard University for suspending Dr.Subramanya Swamy's Summer courses

Honorable President,

I am writing this to you on hearing the news that Harvard has removed Dr.Swamy’s summer courses from its roster. The institution which is supposed to be beacon light to the entire world for Right to Expression has put the same in jeopardy and it is disturbing to learn this. Let’s enquire in which way Dr.Swamy’s infringed some one’s right when he wrote an article which has become a reason to suspend his courses. The focal point of his article was that Indian Muslims were targeted by wahabi brand/Jihadist Islam which in a way says “My way or No way” you can either be a believer or Non believer. And it is a known fact that Non-Believers are not entitled to live on this earth. One thing that binds dwellers of Indian Sub-continent is Hinduism which is not only a scientific religion but a way of life. The bloody Muslim invaders converted Hindus to Islam as British converted Hindus to Christianity in its brutal rule. The Wahabi brand is so successful in its strategy of indoctrination that it turned many innocent Muslims to terrorists who are otherwise true patriots. And the effective strategy is to tell populace the truth i.e., everyone in this country is undoubtedly Hindu as supported by DNA genetic studies and everyone should realize that their common ancestry is Hinduism, if once this is realized they would not act against their own country. World looks at elite of Harvard as a bunch of jokers as of now due to its irresponsible act. Another problem with Harvard is like any other educational institution it is infiltrated by leftists and cultural Marxists who want to see the complete destruction of Hindu faith and culture.

Harvard should stop behaving like a world court. If Dr. Swamy writes a lecture in India which is specific to the context and circumstances exist in India and you condemn him in America. There is an allegation that Harvard dancing to the tune India’s GOP expecting favors for FDI in education. Only time will tell us if that is true. When Harvard in its initial response said that it stood by Dr.Swamy’s right to expression it was not a surprise. But later a group of politically inclined members bar his courses virtually keeping him out of Harvard is totally uncalled for and unbecoming of Harvard’s stature. These cultural Marxists and educated illiterates relate Swamy’s comments to Jewish Americans and African Americans accepting the Anglo Saxon Supremacy, how unwitting argument this could be. Dr.Swamy did not ask anybody to accept any one’s supremacy but to realize the fact about their ancestry and not to become a victim of radical Islam and what’s wrong in accepting the truth which is unsullied. The govt. of Saudi Arabia which funds so generously to Harvard propagates gender discrimination though they don’t write articles like Dr.Swamy’s which speaks truth. In a case Harvard should suspend its relations with that senseless state. Women cannot drive cars in that country and the reason is they would loose virginity, as far as I know that no one looses virginity if they drive cars. (http://www.radicalislam.org/analysis/saudi-arabia-%E2%80%93-moderate-voice-or-draconian-monarchy). In this context I would like to quote what Newt Gingirch said - “On the one hand, Harvard accepts money from Saudis. Saudi Arabia, by the way, executes homosexuals. Saudi Arabia represses women. Saudi Arabia does not allow Christians or Jews to practice their religion, but Saudi money is fine”

As you know in France Burqa is banned in public places. Now there are two dimensions to this, narrower and the broader one. On a narrow view mullahs might argue that it is about taking away religious freedom and in a broader view it is saving the state from terrorists. In same way Belgium law makers banned Burqa and Swiss move to ban minarets are backed with different reasons. Now does this mean if someone from French/Belgium/Swiss cabinet seeks admission to Harvard in future, should you deny it? If you deny the admission on this grounds then that will be another darkest hour in the history of Harvard, the first one being suspension of Dr.Swamy’s summer courses on a flimsy ground. I fear you might deny admission to the cabinet members of the mentioned European countries because you have already set an example for your intolerance as an institution. The other way I could see this as a group of people taking Harvard’s reputation to ransom, but as a president you must have intervened.

I was reading a report on the judgment given by Supreme Court of USA on Westboro church case. For all that Westboro church’s activists have done ie. Picketing military funerals with hateful language and offensive gestures such as dragging the American flag on the ground, their constitutional rights have come to their rescue.

Let me quote what chief justice John Roberts told “Speech is powerful. It can stir people to action, move them to tears of both joy and sorrow, and – as it did here – inflict great pain” and he conceded that “On the facts before us, we cannot react to that pain by punishing the speaker.” By an 8 to 1 vote, the Supreme Court affirmed the U.S. right to free speech, even if the speech is that of the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church. So your action of suspending Dr. Swamy’s summer courses is against the grain of American constitution and you are not above the U.S constitution. Harvard’s action is highly condemnable as it violates the basic principles of Natural Justice.
