"Political Liability": Academic Pratap Bhanu Mehta On Quitting University | Read

Academic and political commentator Pratap Bhanu Mehta whose resignation from Ashoka University this week reignited a discussion on the consequences of criticising the BJP-led government at the centre had written in his letter to the university authorities about the "risks" of his writings.
