Indian industrialist, Anand Mahindra, who is an alumnus of Harvard, has gifted $10 million in honor of his mother to the Humanities Center at Harvard University which will henceforth be known as Mahindra Humanities Center. Incidentally Harvard already has endowments of more than $ 30 billion thereby making it the richest university in the world and probably the most renowned because it can afford the best teachers in every subject. When there are so many super rich people of Indian origin why does no one donate to Indian universities? About 7 years back one man in US wanted to donate to one of the IITs that he had studied in but Mr. Murli Manohar Joshi, who was minister of something at that time, insisted that he had to channel the donation through the government. Knowing that criminal politicians and thieving civil servants would steal all the money the donor gave it to an American university. Three years back this Congress led government suddenly decided to open 7 new IITs without buildings, teaching staff or laboratories. In today's news we find that these so called IITs have less than one third the required number of teachers. Who would want to teach at IIT when the government refuses to increase the salaries of teachers while trebling the money paid to useless parasitic politicians. In its wisdom the Supreme Court cancelled the expulsion of failed students because they were reservation students and asked professors to give them extra tuition. Extra work for no money. Is it any wonder that there is no Indian university in a list of the top 150 in the world. When you are the dregs you like everyone to be the same.
