By terminating Snehashish, SAU has not only done gross injustice but it has deprived its students of an exceptionally talented professor. I have had the privilege of working with him in the initial years of SAU. I salute his courage, conviction, and compassion! In solidarity!

South Asian University has terminated Dr. Snehashish Bhattacharya, without any due process. The admin is taking advantage of immunity from judicial system to suppress freedom of speech & expression. Embarrassing that other faculty members are too scared to even condemn this.



That’s Nandita Narain for you!

Yeh kaun journalist hai? Ise yeh nahin pata ke saamne kaun khada hai aur laga hai nafrati sawaal poochhne. Prof Nandita Narain, is a retired Professor from St Stephens College DU. She was the DUTA president. A great lady.

A wealth tax or meaningful redistribution of wealth doesn't imply a communist revolution. Its funny how economists who are constantly recommended for Nobel have fallacies that appeal to the extreme. The answer? Ppl pwill get aroud it. 1/3 businesstoday.in/india/story/wa…

In Solidarity with my fellow colleagues, Snehashish and Irfan, and students at @SouthAsianUni I was invited to deliver a talk on 9th April as a part of the seminar series at the South Asian University (SAU) but I am withdrawing my name from this event.

Prof. Amiya Kumar Bagchi, one of the great intellectual giants of our times, whose sharp, insightful political economy analyses taught us so much about economic processes, is no more. We will greatly miss this major economist and wonderful warm human being.
