Harvard hits Swamy

Ever since Swamy became an MP in 1974 and during his successful Lok Sabha campaign from Mumbai North East during the Emergency, his association with Harvard was a unique selling proposition that he carefully cultivated and exploited.

In barring him from teaching at Harvard for “hate speech” against Muslims, Swamy lost his oldest constituency which this week belittled his association with that centre of academic excellence.

In an email to Indo-Eurasian researchers in the US which was obtained by this correspondent yesterday, Michael Witzel, Wales Professor of Sanskrit and Director of Graduate Studies at Harvard’s Department of South Asian Studies, called Swamy “insidious,” ridiculed him as “head of the minuscule Janata Party in India” and implied that his academic credentials were of little worth today.

Swamy's Secular Patriotic Front - a damp squib

Indian Express, April 29,1998: Swamy said that he now planned to work towards forming a "secular patriotic front" against the BJP and would wait for clearance from AIADMK chief J Jayalalitha to topple the Vajpayee government.

"The BJP is only nominally a political party but in reality it is the political front of the RSS," said Swamy, who has been campaigning against the government ever since he was refused a berth in the ministry.

When Swamy had much respect for Sonia Gandhi

Excerpts from an interview with Swamy dating back to June 2000

Q.Do you meet her?
A.Yes. I am in regular touch. The last I met her was on May 20.

Q.Your rapport has been re-established?
A.The Indian Express people may write anything. But I have the best of relations with her. I have respect for her. She stood by me. I will not tell you anything beyond this. The only thing I can tell you is I told her that what she did in 1999 was wrong.

Whom do you think Swamy was referring to? Not Jayalalitha but Sonia Gandhi. http://www.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/20000603/inter.htm

Do you know anything about the wrong done by her in 1999?In swamy's words "Her betrayal of the opposition cause of forming a secular alternative government in 1999 is known to all". ( http://janataparty.org/pressdetail.asp?rowid=14 )

Ah!Swamy wanted to dislodge communal government led by Vajpayee and was pissed off at his failure. He must have dreamt of becoming the FM (or even the PM) of 'secular alternative government'
