Well known academician Dr. Kancha Ilaiyah is today forced to explain why he is connected with a `Christian’ school in his village. The majority of students in this school are dalits and adivasis and Dr. Kancha Ilaiyah has an academic relationship with this school. Is that a crime? When did Indian citizens start describing association with Christian schools as a crime? Where did our most important BJP leaders get education from? Many of them who lead the Sanghis at a national level received their education from either Christian schools or Christian Colleges. And now, Dr. Kancha Ilaiyah is targeted for his academic role in a Christian school. This is ridiculous. The Sanghis should have some basic sense. I appeal to Dr. Kancha Ilayiah not to explain yourself. Your defense itself is dishonouring your entire contribution in academic thinking and writings on dalit consciousness. These guys have no work except creating conflict and hatred between religions and between different identities. We must not fall into that trap. We must be bold enough to call a spade a `spade’. I request all secular and democratic organisations and individuals to condemn the systematic targeting of Dr. Kancha Ilaiyah and defend the academic freedom of this country.
