A 'Harvard study' says that "Yogi's UP" was "heaven on earth" for migrants.
Over d last few days, we have been seeing such headlines all over Indian media.
But there's a catch: None of these reports mentions the authors' names, the study's title, & where to find d actual study

Harvard Univ already has a lot of baggage, recently in terms of many graduates workin for d Trump admin.. I m sure they do not want to extend this baggage to hateful, divisive, violent regimes elsewher. The content of d news reports makes it clear that if such a Harvard study..
.. exists, it wasn't primarily done for academic reasons.
Or maybe it was, in which case it would be really great if @Harvard or @HarvardChanSPH make sure that the study is made publicly available so that other experts can assess how valid its observations & conclusions are.

It is also imp to point out that all the news reports, esp @htTweets (who shud know better), skip any identifying info regarding this mysterious study. Hope at least the journalists got a copy of it.. Or were they simply taking the "heavenly" UP admin's words to be the truth?
All of this is assuming such a study exists. Which I believ cud be the case, considerin the number of NRIs & desi Ivy Leaguers who have been cheerleaders of both Trumpian politics in the US and Sanghi politics in India.
But in case no such study exists, all apologies to Harvard.
