Surely, Ashoka University shouldn’t meddle with the legal processes. But making sure that Prof Ali Khan Mahmudabad gets legal support doesn’t mean the institution supports his views.
Funding challenges are understandable. It takes effort to raise funds for a university. But one must ask: how much money is really traded off when a few academics stand by principle?
Ashoka University was imagined as a space to challenge, question, and think freely. If that folds the moment it’s tested, then the real crisis isn’t just of academic freedom—but of conviction.
An alumnus of Ashoka University wrote to Sanjeev Bikhchandani, criticising the institution for its lack of moral courage in not supporting Prof Ali Khan Mahmudabad. Here's the founder's response to the alumnus, shared in an internal mailing list.

Ashoka University has emerged as a den of anti-Hindu hate mongering. Professors at the university, from Christophe Jaffrelot to Ali Khan Mahmudabad, are consistently engaged in spreading misinformation about the Hindu community and demonising it.
They have nothing but hatred for the Indian nation. Even a cursory glance through their writings on various platforms and research activities would show the myriad ways in which they have defamed and denigrated the Indian nation as well as the Hindu community.
And the cherry on the cake is the fact that an overwhelming majority of the founders of Ashoka University are Hindus. So, in effect, it’s an university funded by Hindus engaged in spreading hatred and scorn for Hinduism and India.
I appeal to the state government of Haryana and the Union government to take notice of the happenings at Ashoka University and initiate strict action against all such anti-national elements.
