Academic Censorship Has Become the Norm in Indian Universities
Apoorvanand | 02 April 2025 | The Wire
This article is about the ‘postponement’ of a seminar titled “Bharat Ki Parikalpna: Ateet, Vartman aur Bhavishya” (The Imagination of India: past, present and future) which was to be held in the first week of April in a college of the University of Delhi. I am not naming the college for obvious reasons. I know about the event because I was supposed to participate in it as one of the speakers. But barely 10 days before the scheduled date, this is the email that I got from the college:
Dear Sir,
In continuation of our earlier email, we regret to inform you that due to administrative reasons, the two-day international seminar on the subject “VISION OF INDIA: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE” scheduled to be held on 8th and 9th April, 2025 has been postponed.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
With regards…
