AMU Professor Slammed For Making Mythical References To Rape & ‘Hurting Religious Sentiments’


I am a conversationalist by nature. Put me in a room of people and I’ll come out having made conversation with even the most reluctant people.  

However, there will always be a few topics that would be sensitive and require me to tread carefully. In fact, not just me, but almost everyone because the nature of a few topics in discussion is far more sensitive than others. 

Like talking about ‘rape’.

Two months ago I graduated from being a student to a Tax paying citizen of this country and my money is going towards the study and dissemination of anti-Hindu rhetoric.

Having not paid heed to the advice, an Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) professor has landed himself in major legal trouble after he casually made ‘mythical references’ to rape in a PowerPoint presentation. 

Aligarh Muslim University has a zero-tolerance policy. AMU Admin & medicine faculty strongly condemned the content of a slide on the mythical reference of rape by Asst Prof Dr Jitendra Kumar; 24hr time has been given to him to reply to our show-cause notice: PRO-AMU Omar Peerzada pic.twitter.com/XklC1LO1cG

Dr Jitendra Kumar of the Faculty of Medicine was talking about rape in his presentation while teaching the MBBS Forensic medicine class in AMU, when he laid out a slide that was not just deemed offensive, it was called out for ‘hurting religious sentiments’.

A screenshot of the presentation was soon shared on social media, following which several people (including students) have condemned the professor and his alleged attempt at ‘demeaning Hindu gods and culture’.

The professor since then has been asked to submit his reply on the matter by the faculty within 24 hours and has also issued an apology as noted by the AMU. 

A two-member inquiry committee has also been formed by the university at the suggestion of the Dean Faculty of Medicine, Professor Rakesh Bhargava, who seeks to look further into the matter. 

It has been promised that proper steps shall be taken so such an instance is never repeated in the future. 

Can't turn a blind eye towards so many incidents like this....If BJP can't stop taking hindus as granted they will pay..

Very serious hate propaganda if this slide is being shown (not factual also). If anybody contests ask them if it's ok to mention child marriage & rape by other'religious' figures who they claim aren't mythological. @EduMinOfIndia @HMOIndia

@MinisterEduGoS look into this issue. Don't you think there should be a guideline to include ancient scriptures only with the written proofs?

How can AMU insult our religious scriptures and deities like this? Will you gonna take any action or not?#Hindutva

Meanwhile, people on the micro-blogging site are unimpressed by the mention of quotes like ‘story of Brahma raping her daughter’ in the slide and are dropping comments like, “A criminal case must be filed against the wrongdoer under section 295A of the IPC.” 

While another wrote, “Is this what they teach at AMU? Amazing government we have and amazing tolerance or rather don't care attitude of Indian citizens.”

BTW, they would never use their own examples of many heinous acts in their history in fear of being beheaded / stoned to death on street! Only one faith that allows free speech because we allow to be questioned so we can clear any doubts which other faiths don't even allow!

A few even came to defend the claims that the presentation made as they commented, “Saraswati was a creation and not his daughter. If i tomorrow build a cyborg will it become my daughter? Is my female AI chatbot i built my daughter? So Brahma marrying Saraswati was totally legit.”
