In case academic freedom of expression is valid in this forum, all its full members, including those who have recently been criticized for having introduced "undesirable" topics, should have equal rights to freely introduce and contribute to new topics of indological and indology-related discussion.

While some Indology members took initiative in appealing against a law when an author from the West was affected by the law, no action was taken in such cases when South Asian authors were involved. I cite two cases -- Tasleema Nasreen and Ramanujan. They have been banned, one exiled, for their views.

South Asian affairs are under Indology.
