Harvard Professor's Op-Ed Sparks Free Speech Debate
For 10 years, Subramanian Swamy taught an economics course at Harvard University's summer school. Swamy earned his own Ph.D. in economics from Harvard, and he went on to become a prominent politician in India, leading -- as he still does -- the country's Janata Party.
And for a decade, his political views didn't seem to matter to anyone at Harvard. Until this summer, when Swamy wrote a fiery op-ed in the Daily News & Analysis of India calling for a particularly Hindu solution to wiping out Islamic terrorism. Annex parts of Bangladesh, he wrote. Prohibit conversion from Hinduism to any other religion. Mandate learning Sanskrit.
(The op-ed was subsequently removed from the paper's website. A link to a version of the op-ed has been reposted here.)
