Talk:Arjun Mahey

By Sachi Anjunkar

Arjun Mahey has not been listed as a Professor at St Stephen’s College, University of Delhi as of February 2023 but is mentioned as a Professor on Inlaks Foundation Website .

In 2021, he fraudulently signed a letter supporting the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" Conference, as an academic and scholar and made the allegation:

"the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women in these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."
