Fair enough
In which case is there any Sanskrit literature at all that is "secular"?
Bhasa? Magha? They all dealt with the itihAsas
Or should we take the stance -
In SVDV (BHU) these kAvyas should be taught by Hindus
Not necessarily in other universities?

That raises the question -
How much longer will it take for this bogey to be raised at other universities?
And will the H-Right voices take up the cudgels on behalf of a University of Bombay student, who may protest the appointment of a Christian to teach Sanskrit / theology

If the argument is going to rest on the point of "shraddha", students elsewhere can protest too.
And what's problematic here is that the "shraddha" of Hindu professors will never be questioned
It takes a lot more egregious stuff for people to question them than a non Hindu

That's when it becomes less about shraddha...
More about who you are...
Then it is a slippery slope
