Ramachandra Guha Ahmedabad University

A day after eminent historian Ramchandra Guha announced that he won't take up a teaching offer at the Ahmedabad University, the ABVP, which was opposing his appointment, claimed victory, even as the varsity asserted that it had no role in Mr Guha's decision and dismissed suggestions that it had acted under pressure from the RSS' student wing.

Historian and biographer Ramachandra Guha tweeted on Thursday that he would not join Ahmedabad University in Gujarat "due to circumstances beyond my control".
