Why do Indian Institutes of TECHNOLOGY need humanities & "social sciences" departments?
One look at faculties' research interests reveals the same divisive agenda & atrocity studies that plagues leftist snakepits such as JNU & TISS.
We must stop nurturing anti-India forces.

In the IITs today, you'll find:
- Million-dollar, state-of-the-art washrooms & conference halls
- Flourishing, well-funded humanities departments
- Obsolete, two-decade-old equipment in the science/tech labs
We're sacrificing science at the altar of anti-India humanities.

India's education system needs radical reforms.
It needs to:
-- Serve & empower the true stakeholders - the students.
-- Cut out the entrenched rent-seekers.
-- Focus on science & research.
Humanities research must be science-based & evidence-based, not opinion-based.

I am all for exposing IIT students to a wide range of subjects: languages, philosophy, history and more.
Stock the libraries with relevant books & let students pursue such interests on their own time.
However IITs should offer only science & tech degrees.

Unbelievable. The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) offers Ph.D.s in topics like:
"Troubling Gender"
"Contesting Identity"
"Adivasis"
"Women Studies"
"Gender and Caste"
etc.
Waste of taxpayer money much?

Why does the Government of India invest enormous amounts of taxpayer money into leftist, colonial anti-India atrocity research?
Can't this money be better used elsewhere?

Good move: India debars its universities from entering into cooperation agreements with Chinese institutions without prior approval.
Pointless, though, until India acts against the countless Chinese & Pakistan agents in its own humanities departments.
