Professor Guha, who has taught at Yale and the London School of Economics, said that Ms Irani had done considerable damage to her ministry's credibility.

Professor Guha offered instances of how Ms Irani was high-handed with senior professors. "At one meeting, an IIT director asked her a question to which she said, 'Do you think you are a TV anchor to ask me such questions?'" the historian said, adding, "She also named the TV anchor!"

He said that the only reason he was able to criticise her without fear of persecution was because he is based in Bengaluru and earns a living writing books and columns.

Calling her "whimsical" with policies that changed frequently, Professor Guha said, "The academic community will welcome her exit."
