400 Indian-origin academics from MIT, Oxford condemn recent protests

A group of around 400 academics of Indian origin, affiliated with institutions such as MIT and Oxford, has issued a statement criticising recent protests. The statement does not name any specific protest or organisation. It comes at a time when several demonstrations are underway over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The academics appeal for the country to be spared from what they describe as anarchy. The statement adds to the ongoing public debate surrounding the electoral roll revision exercise.
