After a series of racist attacks on Indian students, the Australian Government spent a little money on an 'Australia India Institute' hosted by the University of Melbourne dedicated to enhancing Australia-India relations. A bunch of academics- Anthropologists and the like, not STEM subject mavens- have resigned from it because they feel it is not being used to attack India in line with their own deeply racist ideology or that of their White Masters. Clearly, these cretins believe Australia-India relations can only be enhanced by ceaselessly denouncing the democratically elected Government of India as a genocidal dictatorship because the majority of people there are Brown and Hindu- i.e. 'natives' or Aborigines. They are particularly angry that the Indian High Commission in Australia does not endorse their view. However, it is the job of Indian diplomats to assert mutual non-interference in internal affairs as being essential to the comity of nations. Indians, of course, are free to bad-mouth public servants as much as they like. But Indian diplomats must still perform their duty as such officials. If they don't like it, they can resign their post and return to India.
Let us now look at the letter the academics sent
We, the undersigned, are writing as scholars of India
if by 'scholar' is meant 'a shithead employed in worthless University Departments pimping a worthless credential'- then sure, why not? Anybody who has anything worthwhile to say about India would be in India not Australia. This is because knowledge is valuable and India is the biggest market for knowledge about India. Australia- not so much.
and as current academic fellows of the Australia India Institute (AII). In light of our deep interest, and investment, in the success of Indian studies in Australia and in the AII, we are writing, in confidence,
If so, why is the thing on the web?
to share our views on the University’s plans for the future of the AII,
Those plans must be in accord with the stated vision of the Institute whose
Operations of the Institute are to: (a) Produce and publish non-partisan, rigorous, high-impact research with material effects on building mutual awareness and informing positive policy initiatives
The 14 nutters who have resigned produce nothing of the sort. They openly state that they doubt that this quasi-diplomatic focus is consistent with, and furthers, the mission of the University. In other words, they object to the vision of the Institute itself. Yet they became 'Fellows' of it. Why? Was it because they failed to read the charter?
(b) Host events giving prominence to key opinion leaders and issues affecting the bilateral relationship;
Like hosting the Indian Foreign Minister not some crackpot who hates the country.
(c) Pursue deeper policy engagement, working with governments to help inform policy agendas and bilateral initiatives;
These nutters want Australia to disengage from India because they think it is an evil dictatorship.
(d) Raise public awareness of the increasing importance of India for Australia and Australia for India through media, polling, public events, cultural initiatives and community engagement;
These nutters want Australians and Indians to hate each other.
(e) Foster leadership networks and connections through Leadership Dialogues, study tours, parliamentary exchanges, internships;
No mention of hosting dissidents or hatemongers.
and (f) Support societal and business engagement through building partnerships with business peak bodies, community organisations and companies trading and investing bilaterally.
This is what the racist scholars object to- the strengthening of mutually beneficial commercial and defense ties. They want Australia to be viewed as a country of racist thugs by Indians while Australians should view Indians as genocidal darkies. They believe that Universities must give a platform to their stupid lies because...urm... well, who else would?
including our expectations regarding the Institute’s future leadership. We write, in particular, to emphasise the need to shape the future of the AII around the values of academic freedom, independence, impartiality, inclusiveness, quality, diversity and respect for scholarly dissent.
Sadly no sensible person can dissent from the view that these 'scholars' are ignorant and stupid. The purpose of Australia India Institute is to enhance Australia-India relations- commercial, cultural, but, now most importantly, defense ties. The purpose was not to create a platform for a bunch of racist cunts to shit on the 'natives' of India.
In what follows, we explain–with examples–why developments in India mean that the preservation of these values requires particular care and attention at this time.
These mad fuckers think they can play a role in 'preserving values' in a far away country where their stupidity and ignorance would make them a laughing stock if they weren't so wholly unheard of.
The best AII can do is push forward bilateral stuff re. Trade Policy and maybe joint-ventures in STEM subjects with maybe software development for Management Information Systems, expert systems for Jurisprudence etc.
Nobody gives a shit about racist or paranoid virtue signallers from Australia. We are happy if they don't rape kangaroos incessantly. More than that we don't ask of them.
We hope that the concerns we raise here are taken into consideration as the future of AII and its leadership are deliberated and decided in the coming weeks and months.
A forlorn hope. If the Australian government spends money on anti-Indian propaganda it can kiss goodbye to Quad. Uncle Sam won't be happy.
As you are doubtless aware, socio-political developments in India in recent years raise concerns relating to basic liberties, human rights and democratic values.
This is a serious matter for the Australian Government because when these nutty academics get worked about something they graduate from fucking kangaroos to molesting wallabies. If their concerns are not properly addressed they will sodomize koala bears in the streets.
In particular, we are concerned that the current majoritarian government has used sedition laws to curtail freedom of speech and has incarcerated academics and journalists as well as social workers with little evidence, due process or access to bail.
This has led to gang rape of kangaroos and wallabies by the academics concerned.
Many appointments at leading Indian universities have been politicised in ways that have resulted in the transformation of universities away from scientific and evidence-based scholarly inquiry toward nativist cultural-nationalist agendas.
We all know what White Australians did to natives. These kangaroo molesters are protesting because the AII is not permitting them to make racialist attacks upon India and its people.
Did anybody care about this stupid protest by worthless wallaby-wankers? Only oligarch subsidized hate-zines like Wire and Scroll. Nobody else gave a toss.
In my next post I will look at the very queer oeuvre of Ian Woodford whose spoken Hindi is worse than mine- quite an achievement given that I've spent fifty years in crafting an idiolect for myself which would cause even Lalu Prasad Yadav to immediately switch to Oxbridge English if forced to converse with me.
