After her “no god is upper caste” remark stoked controversy, JNU Vice Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit on Wednesday defended her comments as an academic exercise and said she was misquoted on her comments.
She also said she is an academic first and people should get angry with B. R. Ambedkar for it was he who she was “paraphrasing.”
“I was asked to speak on B. R. Ambedkar’s views on gender justice. I was paraphrasing B. R. Ambedkar. You can see his writings. Why should people get angry with me? They should get angry with B. R. Ambedkar. Why am I being pulled into it,” Ms. Pandit told PTI.
