DU may bar Dalit writer Kancha Ilaiah's books from syllabus
Delhi University's Standing Committee on Academic Matters has suggested removing Dalit writer Kancha Ilaiah's books, 'Why I am not a Hindu' and 'Post-Hindu India', from its political science syllabus over their "controversial content". The suggestion was forwarded to DU's Academic Council. Calling it "unfortunate", Ilaiah said, "Under the BJP government, academic autonomy is getting destroyed."
