Subject: Re: [INDOLOGY] news of interest to the Indological community

This has been all over Facebook today (and probably Twitter, though I don't tweet). It is deeply regrettable. In the Scroll.in report that you cite, Matthew, Romila's own comment is characteristically understated and non-inflammatory:

“It is a very unfortunate thing,” Thapar told Anandabazar. “We are going through a strange time.
Emeritus is not a mere designation. It is an honour related to the university’s goodwill.”

Thank you for sharing.

Best,

Dominik
