University administration says it has sent letters to all emeritus professors, asking what they have done in the last couple of years, and not just Thapar.
The Thapar clan has been among the elites of Punjab and then New Delhi, with familial connections to the Nehru-Gandhis and Khushwant Singh, among others.
BJP’s fate in the second phase of 2024 Lok Sabha election will be decided in Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra, where it performed very well in 2019 but faces a stiff competition now.
The private lender's shares tumbled to be top Nifty 50 loser after India's central bank barred it from taking on new customers through online and mobile banking channels.
Another addition to military cooperation has been the Strategic Space Dialogue, inaugurated in Paris in 2023. Last month, India participated as an observer to France’s AsterX.
In IITs, professors are, at most, given 5 years of emeritus status. What these JNU Marxists think that they should be allowed to peddle their lies to students 28 years after the retirement???
Supervising the research work at 75 years of age and even above 75 is more than a joke. Retiring age has also become a joke to these professors whose mind has fixed in history. This seems to be one of the reason why JNU continues to produce half baked PhDs and its researchers unaware of changing India . JNU should now be rescued from the clutches of marxism.
Why does the writer of this article start off with creating doubt if anyone other than Prof Thapar received the letter and then confirm others over 75 did receive it? Damages thePrint’s credibility.
Good. That should ha e happened long ago. Why is Thapar angry ? Every University has a right to evaluate policies on a continuous basis and correct if required. So far Left stooges ruled the academicia for ages but now their time is up. Now Shivaji, Tilak, Savarkar, Bhagat Singh and many others will find their name in history books. Fake and self professed fictional history writer shoukd be shown her place. Thapar is a hatemonger and deserves to be kicked out from all possible institutions where she is associated.
To add to my earlier post
How can a professor emeritus retire baffles me, it’s an honorary award for lifetime achievement, how can one retire from a award, can a Army General retire from his Vasisht Seva Medal?
This only confirmed my earlier long held view, that we in India are being ruled by illiterate jackasses from the RSS rapidly taking the country backwards.
Hello illiterate Jackass, yes every award has a clause that it can be revoked (you don’t read the fine print, do you?). But then morons like you will never get any award consideration, so how would you know?
If the recipient brings disrepute to the cause of the award, the award can be revoked. Thapar is a clear candidate to be removed, not just from her honorary post, but also from the annals of our country’s history.
Romila Thapar is a fraud. The only reason for her fame was that she sold her soul to the party in power; in return, she was given resources and state patronage to monopolize Indian history and create a version that suited the rulers of the day. She is nothing but a durbari historian of yester-years. We need to purge such dishonest academics from our Universities before we can tell our own true history.
One true story that needs to be retold is that Emperor Akbar lost the Battle of Haldighati.
I still remember laughing out loud reading Thapar’s fiction on Aryan invasion. Even her new one, Who is an Aryan is more technical-sounding mumbo jombo. How long does Taxpayer support such Marxists?
The reason why the JNU was considered a prestigious Indian university was because of Prof Thapar and her ilk.
I was lucky enough to be taught by Prof Thapar and Prof Bipin Chandra.
Regardless of the many international awards given to Prof Thapar and the opinion of her peers teaching at the world most prestigious universities,
A single book by Prof Thapar or a single lecture of hers, should enough of a CV for the ignorant RSS stooge of a vice chancellor.
Well said Mr Ashok. Who knows the HRD Minister may even ask who is late Dr Bipin Chandra. Since they cannot counter Dr Thapar they are using stupid methods to humiliate her.
Too old, they should retire or the JNU send them home instead of keeping them on payroll.
Govt must take action against Romilla thaper.she is literary traitor who defame the prestige of the country by publishing 90% false articles.

I think, one should retire gracefully as a person reaches certain age than keep occupying the chair.
People who are paying for my position : What’s up?
Me: How dare you ask that.

Does the clique which now runs JNU have the intellectual capacity to evaluate the work of Professor Romila Thapar.
