The seminar, titled ‘Land, Property and Democratic Rights,’ had been organised as part of the Department of Sociology’s ‘Friday Colloquium’ series. It was supposed to take place tomorrow, October 31. The speaker, Dr. Namita Wahi, a senior fellow at the Centre for Policy Research, was scheduled to speak on constitutional changes and judicial interpretations of the right to property.
Sociologist Nandini Sundar, the convenor of the Colloquium, a professor at the DSE, took to social media to register her dissent. “Since I can no longer guarantee the intellectual integrity of the research colloquium and that it will not be cancelled arbitrarily at the last minute, I have resigned as convenor of the colloquium,” her Facebook post read.
