Last month, a teacher of political science in Uttar Pradesh's Sharda University posed this examination question to his students: "Do you find any similarities between Fascism/ Nazism and Hindu right-wing (Hindutva)? Elaborate with the argument." The teacher was suspended by the university authorities, on the grounds that the very posing of the question was "totally averse" to the "great national identity" of our country and "may have the potential for fomenting social discord".
