In BHU Face-Saver, Transfer For Muslim Sanskrit Professor Facing Protests | Read

The Muslim professor whose appointment to Banaras Hindu University's Sanskrit Vidhya Dharma faculty led to protests by students - they claimed a non-Hindu could not teach the subject - has resigned from the faculty and will teach Sanskrit at a different department of the same institution. The move - an apparent compromise between BHU administration and protesting students - comes after a month-long sit-in protest by students who said a non-Hindu professor could not teach because the faculty intertwined the study of religion and literature.
