The best way to express our outrage is to write to Prof. P K Abdul Azis, Vice Chancellor (VC) of Aligarh Muslim University who and his team hounded Prof Siras. Email IDs of the VC are

There came about such developments much as the law being the hurdle was abrogated by the high court’s ruling. It shows backwardness, or rather, LACK of human taste and culture. If the damned society is to regard same-sex sex as aberrant, how come does not the same not half regard as the same, sex between brother and sister etc., to say nothing of that for parents, as is much clear by this being that upon which most of the Indian swear words, which comprise eighty-percent of the language of the Indian hoi polloi, are ever based. Anyway, whether that or not, the homophobic society shall not, by way of any condemnation of gays, be able to hurt them or anything; or come by its such goals, for all its courses should be abortive; and thereupon, shall not be able to withhold or withstand gay ire. There should be made cris de coeur vehemently against any negative issues about gays. HIP HIP HURRAY FOR THE MALE PINK KINGDOM!!!

I have been totally shocked and appalled by what was done unto the poor old professor, who is innocent, pure and straightforward; and probably näive too, since he was quite unaware of the concoction against him and taken unawares by the cameramen, whosoever they were – whether reporters or students. I am outraged, indignant, and irked by the so-called university for committing such an abhorrent crime against humanity as ousting someone from office: just for the so-called unjustified, unscrupulous reason of theirs of his being GAY! Just for being gay! Just for that! Just that! How now? How inhuman! Aren’t they cruel, the beasts? What is with these creatures? They must be creatures, since there is no saying they may be humans, for they lack humanity. What Mephistophelean ‘uns they are, letting other homophobic *** like them indulging in Schadenfreude too. I recall the Amazing Wonder, the Truly Great Michael (Joe) Jackson’s number ‘They Don’t Care about us’. NB his lines: ‘Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog-food
Kick me, strike me
Don’t you wrong or right me
(Refrain)…’. Small wonder he wrote the song. I feel the same for the professor.
The society really is callous.

Welcome,

This is actually a very sad story. India can be very tough and at the same time so giving. I definitely see progress. One has to be patient and at the same time not have the anger and hatred towards the opposition as they have towards the gay community.

I highly loathe the nincompoop authorities for doing this to the professor.

If only the gay male community were to get just a little stronger, all the unscrupulous bastard homophobic pipsqueaks on this earth should go down flat on their faces like ninepins, the beasts.

Why couldn’t society let live and let be? Isn’t it a nasty black sheep in itself?

Welcome Ronn. I agree with everything you say. Recently a professor from IIT was dismissed for being openly gay.

This type of insultation will repeat in future also by the orthodox (evil of the society)unless the whole gay community protest strongly. It was a preplanned. The crew cameraman etc. are tresspassers. A suitable case could have been filed against them. They should be condemned by all the broad minded people of the world. They must know gay practice was not sin, nor now.

In one of my previous postings, I had referred to “The Expenditure Audit Report” was sent to AMU vide AB (C) 09-10/248 dt. 17.11.2009 by Office of Principal Accountant General (Audit), UP, Allahabad. The relevant extract of the report is available at http://www.amutimes.blogspot.com.
In all probability the AMU administration set up Dr Siras to divert attention from this damning report and the probe ordered by the President of India into the affairs affairs at AMU. The report clearly indicts the AMU administration including the Vice Chacellor P K Abdul Azis and Registrar V K Abdul Jaleel for causing financial loss to the tune of Crores of public money.

Welcome.

There is no question that India is lagging behind when it comes to LGBT rights. The university clearly has set a bad example.

Even after the decriminalisation of consensual homosexuality under sec 377 of IPC by the Delhi high court India is not welcoming this progressive law..If as a humanbeing we r aware of our human and fundamental rights then y we shud know the minority community of LGBT only by their sexual orientation and not identify them as persons..expeling from job only on the ground of being gay is really inhuman treatment…

Gayism brings in a morality issue. But, now adays it is an accepted behaviour. Somewhere Dr. Azis has opined that his academic records has nothing to do with his Vice chancellor job. He says because of his ignorance – academic imcompetence. Academic brilliance is the prime requirement for a Vice Chancellor. One who keep on committing one fraud after another will not be able to understand such things.

For an update on the Prof Siras affair pl read the recent article published in Tehelka Magazine
—————————————–
“Before Night Falls”

What is more embarrassing for AMU— gay love or violation of human rights?

NISHA SUSAN

WHEN SECTION 377 of the Indian Penal Code was read down last year, decriminalising homosexuallity in India, confetti flew. Even those who felt the law had little relevance in the daily lives of the LGBT community in India smiled a bit. Less than a year later, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) professor Shrinivas Ramachandra Siras, a Marathi scholar, has been suspended for alleged homosexual activity. The university says they have a video recording of the professor inside his home in sexual intercourse with a young rickshaw-puller. The university, clearly not a fan of that ancient sexual preference — ‘rough trade’ — termed this gross misconduct, taking care to emphasise the occupation of the professor’s alleged lover. Outrage against AMU has flown thick but the university is unembarrassed.

Extracts of exploits of Dr Azis, AMU, VC, taken from latest issue of Outlook: “These Walls Have Ears: A profligate V-C, a homophobic row, crime and surveillance—all facets of the AMU syndrome”, (Issue: March 8, 2010)are reproduced below:
===============
Azis, vice-chancellor since June ’07, is himself at the centre of some turmoil. He is now the subject of an inquiry set up by the President of India after instances of financial bungling were reported by members of the university’s executive council. She appointed a second panel last month after the first committee’s members resigned last year reportedly due to lack of cooperation in the probe.
The list of charges is long: claiming travelling allowance against university rules, paying his income tax from the varsity fund, bringing in furniture worth several lakhs from Kerala (Azis’s home state) and paying another Rs 12 lakh for its transport, spending close to Rs 2 crore to refurbish the V-C’s residence (including installation of jacuzzis in the bathrooms), buying a Honda Civic despite the availability of two cars, and adopting improper tendering practices, causing losses of millions to the varsity. The principal auditor general of UP has established several of these charges and in a despatch in November ’09 says: “There’s a complete collapse of financial management and the VC and registrar, instead of stopping this frequent financial irregularity, themselves became part of it.”

In a meeting (dt. 25.02.2010) of senior teachers including Deans of Faculties in AMU, Dr A Azis who has increasingly shown streaks of muslim fundamentalism, openly warned the Deans to come over to his side and not utter a single word that contradicts his version of events relating to Prof Siras. He reprimanded Prof. Ashraf Malik, Principal, J N Medical College of AMU for terming the Siras affair as a case of invasion of privacy during an interview on BBC. When remided by Prof. Mehdi Abbas Rizvi, Dean, Faculty of Engg & Technology, another sane voice amongst the senior teachers in AMU, that legal dimensions of the case need to be looked into, again Dr Azis rudely silenced him saying that we cannot stop the media/TV crew from filming such incidents even if they happen in the private homes of teachers and that in AMU it is the VC who decides what is “LEGAL” and “ILLEGAL”!
Note: In my next post I will share the contents of the funny and hilarious JOINT complaint (without any evidence) filed by two close aides of Dr Azis, VC, AMU, against Prof Siras on the basis of which the poor man as suspended. It will further clear the air and demonstrate that it was a total frame-up by the AMU administration.
