Ashoka University says it has no ties to Chandigarh-based Parabolic Drugs Ltd of which Pranav Gupta is MD & Vineet Gupta ‘whole time director’. ED has also arrested CA SK Bansal.
Vineet and Pranav Gupta, co-founders of Sonepat-based university, stepped down from their posts in 2022 after the CBI registered a case against them in 2021.
Ashoka University tried hard to project an unapologetic centrism, but it just couldn’t shake its notorious tag—JNU of the private sector. Now it's unravelling in a funders-vs-faculty battle.
The tight ‘suits’ that adorn Ashoka’s governing body will do well to shed them for looser kurtas. The management’s submissiveness became the discussion point rather than the merits of the paper.
Dept writes open letter to university's governing body. Prof Das's paper suggesting that BJP won 'disproportionately' in closely contested seats in 2019 polls has stoked controversy.
Sabyasachi Das asked a good and an important question. This is the job of academics. But a single paper is hardly the final truth. It’s a fragment of a broader puzzle.
Shashi Tharoor to Nishikant Dubey--nobody has thoroughly read Sabhysachi Das' paper to understand its content and context. Both are closely intertwined.
Democratic Backsliding in the World’s Largest Democracy, a yet unpublished paper by Dr. Sabyasachi Das, an economist who teaches at Ashoka University, has drawn attention, as it should.

The world watched aghast as police armed with tasers, tear-gas masks—and in one case backed up by snipers—arrested hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters at universities across the United States.
The Asian Development Outlook 2024 report suggests that policymakers in the region should monitor a number of risks. These include escalating conflicts and geopolitical tensions.
Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
