December 12, 2011[GHHF] Harvard University’s Decision to remove Dr. Swamy’s Summer Coursesshocking, hateful, repulsive and totally biased
In 3000 years of our history people from all over the world have come and invaded us, captured our lands,
conquered our minds. From Alexander onwards, the Greeks, the Turks, the Moguls, the Portuguese, the
British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us, took over what was ours. Yet we have not
done this to any other nation. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their lands, their
culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. Why? Because we respect the freedom of
others. That is why my first vision is that of FREEDOM. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India.
It is shocking to read that the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) of Harvard University have voted to remove two
courses from the Summer School offerings Dr. Subramanian Swamy was teaching for a number of years. The
academic university, which is known for championing the free speech, has become pawn of self-professed liberal
academicians who feel that Dr. Swamy’s speech was “hateful.” These academicians appear to have no knowledge
about the atrocities committed by the Islamic terrorists, Islamic war on Hinduism, daily infiltration of Bangladeshi
Muslims into West Bengal, professed killings of non-believers, and satanic verses demanding the destruction of Temples and Hindu Gods.
Dr. Swamy’s article is a peaceful approach to the most dangerous situation that is wrecking India. He did not
advocate terrorism, did not mention about the extermination of any religion, did not advocate the forced conversion,
did not call for burning the non-believers of Hinduism, did not advocate the demolition of Mosques, did not espouse
the imposition of Jizya tax on non-Hindus, and did not declare fatwa on the haters of Hinduism. Any rational, fair
minded, freedom loving, objective, logical, pluralistic persons irrespective of their religious affiliation would appreciate
and applaud his article on “How to wipe out Islamic Terrorism?”
These academicians seem to know more than Dr. Abdul Kalam’s assessment of Hindus, their philosophy, their
culture, their religion, their tolerance, their mindset, and their respect for freedom. For centuries Hindu have
welcomed by almost all the religions with open hands, respected them and allowed them to practice their religion.
Jewish people openly declared that the India is the only country that has not discriminated. Like wise Parsees, the
descendents of Zoroastrians, were thrown out from their homeland, Persia, to be welcomed by India. Jains, Sikhs,
Buddhists, and many others religions lived peacefully. In fact, on December 1, 2011 Sri Dalai Lama proudly
announced that “I consider myself as a son of India” and carries the message of ahimsa across the globe and says
that the country’s spiritual leaders should promote love and harmony in India and outside. Further he observed “that
India has so many languages and dialects, yet remains strongly united because there is the freedom of speech and
rule of law.”
Additionally, India welcomed with open hands two other religions – Islam and Christianity. These two religions
profess their superiority and exclusivity. One is damned in hell if they do not believe in their God. In the name of God,
Islamic invaders caused untold atrocities on Hindus. Suffice to mention the gloomy picture described by Koenraad
Elst: “The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire
cities were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and
similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. As a
contribution to research on the quantity of the Islamic crimes against humanity, we may mention that the Indian
(subcontinent) population decreased by 80 million between 1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi
Sultanate).” Goa inquisition is as bloodiest as Islamic onslaught on Hindus. Genocide of Hindus by these two
religions is described in greater details if one is objective and rational. No Hindu would ever think of this kind of brutality, cruelty and viciousness even to their worst enemies, let alone do it.
The decision to remove two courses Dr Swamy was teaching for years is blot on the reputation of the university,
blotch on the credentials of the faculty, stain on the objectivity of the faculty, blemish on the faculty’s grasp of the
nearly eight centuries Islamic terror, spot on the integrity of the faculty, and a show case for the abuse of academic
authority. Arrogance of academic power, pure hatred toward Hindus pluralism, alignment with religion that abhors
human freedom and dignity, associating with no-productive petro dollars, and negation of the history of Islamic
barbarism are unpardonable offenses committed by the pseudo secular scholars at Harvard.
The so-called liberal faculty members at Harvard thought the Dr. Swamy’s article is equal to incitement of violence
and a hateful speech.
Amnesia at Harvard
It appears that many of the faculty members seem to experience Islamic amnesia – they experience memory loss,
suffer from forgetfulness, and become totally blank when it comes to Islamic terror that reined India and continue to
terrorize many countries. They close their eyes, plug their ears and tape their mouths when it comes to talk about the
destruction of thousands of Hindu Temples by the Muslims, killing of millions and millions of Hindus, mass raping of
untold number of Hindu women, pillage of national treasures and whole sale conversion of Hindus into Islam at
gunpoint.
Would they be willing to remove all the Islamic courses because these courses talk about Terror, violence,
destruction and mass killings? The faculty members at Harvard appear to either justify or ignore all the atrocities
committed by Muslims on Hindus for more than eight centuries.
Are the Harvard Faculty Jaundiced eyed?
Any persons suffering from the medical condition known as jaundice would see everything as yellow. It means the
person with jaundiced eye would have a prejudiced view, usually negative, prejudiced, subjective, biased or critical.
The blind association with the so-called liberal thinking may have interfered with the objectivity, rationality, and
balanced opinion – the hallmark of academicians – causing them to see Dr. Swamy’s article through jaundiced eyes.
Past History: The human beings are relentlessly tortured to make a decision by between two seemingly contrasting areas of human endeavor, namely, the pursuit of livelihood and the reality of existence. No matter how idealistic one
may be, one cannot the escape from the past, present and future. Faculty members at Harvard chose to ignore the
past history of the Islamic atrocities in India that experienced the untold misery. As many as 80 million Hindus were
brutally murdered, millions of women were raped, millions of people were disfigured, thousands of Temples were
destroyed, thousands of Hindu Temples were converted to Mosques including Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar & Kaaba in
Saudi Arabia, a number of Mosques were built either on the Hindu religious places or built in front of them, and
converted Hindus into Islam. Many people keep moaning and whining about the demolition of Babri Masjid forgetting
the 14 centuries of destruction of Temples, mass killings, wholesale rape of Hindu women, and forced conversion of
Hindus. Sitaram Goel compiled a list of 2000 mosques that were converted from Hindu Temples. He listed them by
the present name of the mosques, the earlier name of the Hindu Temples and the location state by state, for any fair
minded to read, digest and comprehend. They would not say a word about the horrific history.
Present status: Similarly the Faculty members decided to overlook the present conditions in India and how Muslims
are aggressively planning to convert India in to three Muslim countries. At first SIMI, Indian Mujahideen, ISI from
Pakistan, and others are relentlessly creating terror in the major cities killing scores of people, blasting Hindu
Temples and Hindu pilgrimage centers and declaring fatwa against any body who criticizes Islam, imposing Jizya tax
on Hindus in Muslim dominated cities and making India as part of Dar-ul-Islam (world Islam). For all practical
purposes, Article 370 excluded Hindus to own any property. Can any of these distinguished professors find any
parallels to this kind of provision in any other country? Will it be acceptable for these Faculty members to exclude
Muslims from owning land in any one of the states in India? Nearly half a million Kashmiri Pandits were chased out
from their homeland and forced to live in tents. Almost all the districts in West Bengal bordering Bangladesh have
millions of Muslim infiltrators tilting the balance toward Muslim state. Rampage and terror continues even today
forcing Hindus to flee from their villages. Converting many Hindus into Islam through Love Jihad is continuing openly.
The Muslim Clerics openly asking their faithfuls to have eight children to make Kerala a Muslim State. The list goes
on.
Future outlook: Like wise the Faculty members should also look at what might happen in the future based on the
past history and present conditions. One does not have to be an expert in Islamic Expansion to find out what might
happen. Just look around, you will see it. There are as many as 52 Islamic countries where other religions are
abhorred or barred from practicing their religion. In Saudi Arabia no body can take even Bhagad Gita or any other
Hindu scriptures. It is also a known fact that majority of these countries are undemocratic, mostly controlled and ruled by Islamic fundamentalists and Al Qaeda. Individual rights are denied. One has to submit to Allah, because “there is
no God but Allah.” That means they do not accept neither Hindu Gods nor Christian Jesus. There would not be any
freedom, pluralism and independence left in those countries. Neither the members of FAS nor an average citizen are
worth any more. In Pakistan, at the time of Independence in 1947, Hindu population was about 20 percent. Today,
not even a fraction of one percent is left. They were either brutally killed or converted to Islam. Out of 428 Hindu
temples at the time Independence, not even 25 Temples are functional. Similar story continues in Bangladesh. At the
time of Independence, Hindu population was between 28-30 percent. Today, Hindus account for less than 7 percent
of the population. Most of them were either killed or forced to convert. In India, Muslim population was about 9
percent at the time of Independence; today their population increased to more than 14 percent. Their fertility rate is
much higher than any other religious group.
Coexistence is anathema for Islam and to some extent for Christianity. Wherever they went they either terminated
the local population, converted them, conducted inquisitions, imposed jizya tax, destroyed the Hindu Temples, or
decimated the local cultures. Hindus accept dialogue, discussions, criticism and debate. Hindus do not believe in
conversion by any means to hoist the flag of hegemony in other countries. How many faculty members can talk about
these 52 plus countries and examine as to how they were able to make these countries Islamic nations? How come
they cannot accept the concept of Hindu Nation and call Dr. Subramanian Swamy’s statement as hateful? Can they
also declare the Islamic countries as hateful, vicious, and destructive? Have they ever examined the freedom of
speech and freedom of worship of the minorities in these Islamic countries? Is it not their moral responsibility to
question the freedom issue in these Islamic countries?
What is expected of Academicians?
Academicians in general are expected to demonstrate honesty, integrity, objectivity, fairness, rationality and
professionalism conduct are expected. Their presentation of views and opinions should be couched in scientific
evidence. They are also expected to have broad knowledge where they should give both side of the argument, rather
than being biased based on affiliation, association, allurement and monetary inducements.
Faculty members have the responsibility of adhering to the Free Speech Guidelines adopted by the faculty. It states
that the “Free speech is uniquely important to the University because we are a community committed to reason and
rational discourse. Free interchange of ideas is vital for our primary function of discovering and disseminating ideas through research, teaching and learning. Curtailment of free speech undercuts the intellectual freedom…”
When Professor Diana Eck says “Swamy’s op-ed clearly crosses the line by demonizing an entire religious
community and calling for violence against their sacred places,” and “Harvard has a moral responsibility not to
affiliate itself with anyone who expresses hatred towards a minority group.”
Professor Sugata Bose states that “[Swamy’s position on disenfranchisement] is like saying Jewish Americans and
African Americans should not be allowed to vote unless they acknowledge the supremacy of white Anglo Saxon
Protestants”
Being a Historian, Dr Bose should know better than that and compare apples with apples. What a tragedy. These are
the professors teaching young students and molding them to hate Dr. Swamy’s article but never open their mouths
about the hateful, violent, destructive and demeaning verses in Quran. Hiding behind freedom of speech, they are
distorting the views of Dr. Swamy. Comparing the statement that Muslims accept their Hindu ancestry to Jewish
American and African American accept the supremacy of Anglo Saxon Protestant is nothing but a blatant distortion of
Dr. Swamy. One wonders about the competency of these professors in teaching at Harvard.
Now the question is what kind of research they have conducted about Islamic terror in India and the satanic verses in
Quran. How many of them know that as many as 3400 people were killed by Islamic terrorists in the last one
decade? They have failed to follow the guidelines adopted by the faculty – disseminating ideas through research.
These faculty members are not lay people, uneducated, biased and subjective who express their opinions without
any scientific research. They are expected to be authority on the subject they speak about. What kind of research
they have done and how many of them have done research on Quran and Islamic open war against Hindus in India?
What happened to the moral responsibility of the faculty members in addressing these issues?
Academic abuse of authority
Based on the controversial decision taken at Harvard with regard to Summer School offerings, every University
should look at the standard procedure of a group of faculty members approving the courses for that school. This has
been a norm for centuries; it is nothing new. An incident like this opens every body’s eyes and wonder as to “how can it be.”
Decisions are made by the faculty members of a particular School as to whether a course can be offered in a given
semester. In each School there may be as many as 10 – 30 departments representing different disciples. That
means if the Economics Department would like to offer Economics 101, decision is made by overwhelming majority
of non-economists. The faculty members in the field of Sanskrit, Comparative Religion, philosophy, Islamic Studies,
History, Sociology, Anthropology, Music, Art, Mathematics, Statistics, English and other fields decide depending on
their clicks, associations and / or favors. Traditionally the faculty members would follow the recommendations of the
department concerned. They have over stepped their boundaries in removing these courses.
Regarding the two courses Dr. Swamy was teaching over the years, the distinguished professors used their biases,
prejudices, hatefulness, narrow-mindedness, and vindictiveness in rejecting the courses. There is nothing wrong with
the courses except that these courses were to be taught by Dr. Swamy. Many of these faculty members have no clue
as to the ground reality in India. Many of them have no expertise in the field of neither Economics nor Islam. But they
can dispose these courses even if the God proposes. They are given that kind of authority. It is time for all Academic
Universities to probe the academic abuse of their authority.
Can these Academicians call the following verses in Quran HATEFUL?
If these distinguished faculty members consider Dr. Swamy’s article a hateful speech, what would they call the
following verses in Quran. Just for their perusal, we listed only few.
What do Professors Eck, Witzel, Kelly, Bose and others say about these verses?
Quran contains many verses that offend the sentiments of Hindus, their worship practices, and their numerous gods
because they are considered kafirs (non-believers). These verses create enmity between the religions, create
disharmony, create poisonous climate for the destruction of Hind images, belittle the belief system, and encourage
killing of non-believers (Hindus). Hindus believe in peaceful coexistence while the Quran believes in total domination
with no rights for non-believers.
Idol worshippers
[31:13] Recall that Luqmaan said to his son, as he enlightened him, “O my son, do not set up any idols beside GOD; idolatry is a gross injustice.”
[12:106] The majority of those who believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol worship.
[4:48] GOD does not forgive idolatry, but He forgives lesser offenses for whomever He wills. Anyone who sets up
idols beside GOD, has forged a horrendous offense.
[4:116] GOD does not forgive idol worship (if maintained until death), and He forgives lesser offenses for whomever
He wills. Anyone who idolizes any idol beside GOD has strayed far astray.
[39:65] It has been revealed to you, and to those before you that if you ever commit idol worship, all your works will
be nullified, and you will be with the losers.
[72:18] The places of worship belong to GOD; do not call on anyone else beside GOD.
Idolaters are unclean just because they are idolater
9.28: O you who believe! The idolaters are nothing but unclean, so they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque after
this year; and if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of His grace if He pleases; surely Allah is Knowing
Wise.
Forcing non-believers to pay tax
9.29: Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle
have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in
acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
2.62, 5.69 : All except Muslims / Jews/Christians / Sabians will go to hell
Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah
and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall
they grieve.
Smite the neck and cut fingertips of unbelievers
8.12: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
Smite the neck of unbelievers
47.4: So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them,
then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the
war terminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from them,
but that He may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by
no means allow their deeds to perish.
Now, would the Faculty Cancel courses on Islam?
As documented above, these verses openly advocate the killing of non-believers, destruction of the idols, smiting the
necks of unbelievers, the imposition of taxes on nonbelievers, and condemning nonbelievers to hell. How many
distinguished faculty members would like to vote on these verses as vicious, inciting, hateful, vicious, and evil? If you
cannot vote, how many of them are willing to conduct research on these verses? How many of them are willing to
discuss each of these and other verses in Quran openly in the University campus? All the faculty members who
voted to scrap these courses from the Summer School denying Dr. Swamy to teach should be honest to their
consciousness, integrity, and professionalism. Pascal may have Muslims in his mind when he stated that “Men never
do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”
Reinstate Dr. Swamy, restore credibility, and regain the lost prestige
We earnestly request the President of the University, the faculty, the staff and the students to reintroduce these
courses and reinstate Dr. Swamy to teach these courses. It is the right thing, a noble thing and an honest thing to do.
Freedom of speech cannot be railroaded by select group of non-experts in the field. The reasons for removal of these
courses are based on the supposed hatefulness in Dr. Swamy’s article, then the University should apply the same
yardstick to all the Islamic courses based on Quran since it contains hundreds of hateful passages about nonbelievers. University’s reputation cannot be a sacrificial lamb for certain vested interested, anti-Hindus and selfprofessed secular liberals. University is a citadel for research, investigation and reasoning. The faculty should look at
all sides of the issues rather than carried away by personal prejudices, ignorance and associations. It takes courage,
guts and nerve to reverse the decision. The faculty and the President have this rare opportunity to correct the wrong. Every body will be a winner. No body will be a looser for doing the right thing.
