Mr. Sen, you are right. We cannot seem to leave academia to academics. But our laws ensure that there is enough scope and space for political and government interference. Doesn't Nalanda's governing board itself include four bureaucrats? We are quite happy with political interference. In fact, trying to secure political patronage has a long tradition in the country’s academia--done by those from the left, and the right. And what a preceding government gives, a succeeding government can take away. Do listen.
