Nobel laureate and internationally renowned Harvard University economist Amartya Sen, 81, charged Friday that he is getting squeezed out of a university post in India by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.

In a letter published in the Indian Express newspaper on Friday, Sen wrote that he believes the Modi government wanted him to “cease” being the chancellor of the prestigious new Nalanda University in eastern India.

Sen said that the board of the university unanimously recommended that he be given a second term after July. But the government did not, he said, which is a clear sign they do not want him to continue.

My comments are more logical and rational than Modiji's claims about scientific advances based on mythology.
