An investigation by The Kansas City Star reveals that for two decades, Dr Ashim Mitra would make scholars carry heavy equipment, tend his lawn & sit his dog.
India cannot be blasé about change in any important capital in the world. Let's look at five key areas where US policy matters for India and how it may vary between Harris and Trump.
In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
Troops patrolled up to Patrolling Point (PP) 10 on Monday. Though there are PP 10, 11, 12, 12A & 13 in Depsang Plains, it was decided that only one or two PPs would be patrolled.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
this is what most of indian origine professors in the US or Canada do. I too did my MS and PHD from one of the leading universities in Canada and I have seen this happening
Indians abuse indians. This is common. Why Indians were slaves for 1400+ years? Why Islam slaughtered Indians and today Hindus are worried about Islam in Bharat? Indians hate indians.
I know Patelias & Patlanis hate high class Hindus and are totally barbaric. All states have these Patelias.
Time to end this for ever. Do not let Patelias and likes of Dr Ashim Mitras.
We cannot change these.
We all pay for these entities.
These Indian prof’s do exploit and poor students are indeed treated as slaves. Its an open secret and I know many of my own relatives and friends kids doing Masters/Phd treated this way. Trump should immediately order investigation against these Profs and throw them in Jail, punish them in such a way that no more Prof will ever treat students as slaves . Need to put an end to this.
This is NOT A UNIQUE occurrence or isolated academic tyranny in India, USA!! Although I never worked in the USA, I have witnessed in person, haplessly in countless US conferences I attended in the last 35 years. Such is the misery guts that so-called Indian Professors who are strictly to be addressed as no more than PhD supervisors like any other American heritage particularly based in the USA instead fondly addressed woefully incorrectly indeed as ‘my guide’ by gullible, vulnerable Indian post grads or ‘post-docs’ or shall I say mildly put it post-dogs’!! Quite blatantly in glaring public gaze in the conference poster floors one would freeze at the appalling treatment meted out by these less fortunate Indian students by these so-called American Indian Profs. Historically, in most cases, these students almost certainly have heart wrenching narratives of how they had to either beg, borrow or sell their family silver or parents’ life-savings and rather unsuspectingly walked into the trap when such poor gullible ones usually after their MSc stage whilst in a bleak house Indian job market scenario, approach/ walk into these predators’ path and either recruit themselves or inevitably lured into the honey trap of going abroad. Such misfortunate lot amongst Indian students are literally awash in the USA in particular, and treated even worse than chained bonded slaves of the doggone days in the land of the Free!! This Prof would have been 10x or 100x worse had he been based in Mother India. Such slave labour and exploitation has been rampant amongst American Indian academics and peers who used to use, abuse or misuse the ancient more benevolent versions of Guru-student subservience over several decades in modern day India dating back to early independence and it is right across the country!! Such grotesque attitudes of Professor-student abuses are more predominant and apparent in our own Mother India albeit in many versions and levels, be it, North and West, East and South of India; no means excusable, nevertheless unequivocal rough but true stats exist right across our own country. Turning the other cheek or wearing a Nelson’s patch is a norm in Indian Universities. Hitching a ride on the back of this India’s own pathetic scene setting, one can see that this ‘dirty baggage’ of abhorrent behaviour is carried over quite as an innate characteristic of certain lot of Professors as this one highlighted in Kansas, USA. If one looked back into the mind set or despicable mentality of such individuals they may have either had a tyrannical childhood at home or they themselves would have been a subject of PG/PhD teacher-student abuse in their shady past. There are others who have had a very elite upbringing in India and consider all others who work with them or under them as subordinates of various categories and descriptions running into the vexatious caste issues too. Quite simply such obnoxious behaviours when identified by often helpless students should thoroughly be investigated by the US Universities instead of silencing the lambs and festering such toxic mishaps, the victim (complaining students) should be offered full counsel and support. Equally such alleged abusive Professors, need psychiatric help. Period!! More ‘Kuchimanchis and Bommireddys and more importantly hard evidence via today’s age of the video/audio streaming, and other IT gadgets fitted/kitted in their hand (cell phones) are required to expose such mentally unstable and neurotics masquerading as academic peers amongst the otherwise hard-working intellects and often doing phenomenal research and teaching outputs exemplifying themselves (e.g. Venkataraman Chandrasekhar in 2009 Nobel Laureate in Biochemistry amongst many others who have won the hearts and minds of millions of Americans in many walks of life from academia, health and politics too who are “indeed best among equals” as the English, African, Irish, European, Latinos and others have been inhabitants of the ‘Land of the Free’; there is one cue that my fellow Indians could take – please be mindful that well before the first wave of Mahatma (great soul) Indians arrived on the shores of Americas, these ‘precursor immigrants’ arrived a few hundred years before ourselves, held on to only ‘their high moral values and “settled” very well as “AMERICANS” AND most importantly they RID of their ‘bad and ugly baggage’. Together with professionals of all shades, until recently the onset of IT Tsunami (that still is making the Indian immigrant new waves) in the USA, every Indian of all shades of socio-economic and cultural heritage from India should be example ambassadors on the world stage playing their ‘act’ on the US stage! They are there to be rich, enrich but not bitch with their fellow desis! If there is “one enemy that one needs to watch out in the US, it is “US” i.e. the desis! my dear indie friends and brethren sirs! Sorry guys for bad lingua in the concluding lines.

These kind of prof. should be removed from the job and teach them how to behave..
