An Open Letter to the Vice Chancellor of AMU
9th April 2010
Dear Sir,
You are perhaps aware that Professor Siras, a teacher at your university, and a poet, was found dead yesterday in his sad room where he was forced to move after being turned out of the university accommodation. It is immaterial whether he committed suicide or sustained a heart attack. You, sir, are the signatory on his death warrant. By condemning his choices of love and life, by publicly so shaming him, and by colluding with those who turned his most private, intimate moments into sordid reality TV, you effectively, pushed him to the brink of death.
It is also not without irony, sir, that it is you, facing multiple charges of corruption and embezzlement who should be so morally exercised by an individual’s freedom (and legal right, one may add) to love whom he desired.
We do hope, sir, that you will be able to sleep peacefully now that you have been rid off those who indulge in “gross misconduct”.
Sincerely,
Jamia Teachers’ Solidarity Association
