"Harvard blacklisted Narendra Modi before he became India’s prime minister, and continues to slam him personally as well as his party, the BJP, for every imaginable kind of human rights violation, even when he has been cleared by Indian courts. Another hypocrisy is Harvard’s claim to champion free speech, an argument it used to terminate Indian economics professor, Subramanian Swamy. Harvard’s complaint against him was over his statement that India’s Muslims had Hindu ancestors. This should have been debated at Harvard to nurture free thinking among its students. After all, Indian Muslims do not prefer calling their ancestors foreign invaders from the Middle East. Hence, who else could have been their ancestors if not the natives of India, i.e., Hindus?"
