Kailash writes in to inform that the PM of India is still a target of hate for Western Indologists despite being exonerated by the Supreme Court monitored SIT for his alleged crimes of 2002.

The extent and level of "hate" among Western Indologists for Modi is mind-blowing. I had no idea that these people are 'Political interventionists" hiding behind the 'scholarship' mask. This is alarming.
Assist Prof Tyler Williams @ University of Chicago writes in Indology list, "To spare everyone an extended polemic, I will simply say for the moment that the 'anti-sedition' law of the Indian constitution is adopted directly from colonial law. It *does not* address 'hate speech', i.e. the incitement of individuals or groups to commit violence against the country's citizens. (This would indeed be a good thing, and if there were such a law, then half of the BJP and RSS, including the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would be in jail!)" .
