As many as 123 retired government officials came out on Wednesday, in support of the decision of the Academic Council of Delhi University on the inclusion of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s contribution and philosophy.
The officials included 59 retired bureaucrats, 12 ambassadors and 64 retired armed forces officers who also supported the Academic Council’s decision to drop Iqbal’s philosophy from the political science syllabus.
Last month, Delhi University added a section on Indian revolutionary Savarkar, popularly known as Veer Savarkar, for the fifth semester in the syllabi change implemented in Bachelor of Arts (BA) political science.The decision met with strong resistance and divided opinions along ideological lines. A section of academicians also points fingers at the university for bowing to the ideology of the current central government.
