That appears to be quite a fair demand regardless of from whom it's coming - a Savarna or a Dalit, a male or a female, a noted or a faceless one. He doesn't ask the complainant to be identified.] https://thewire.in/192796/partha-chatterjees-statement-name-shame-campaign/ Partha Chatterjee’s Statement on the ‘Name and Shame’ Campaign BY PARTHA CHATTERJEE ON 31/10/2017 • LEAVE A COMMENT SHARE THIS: inShare More “I believe it is fair for me to demand that the nature of the allegation against me be made known to me so that I could make a specific response to it,” says the noted scholar. I recently came to know of a circulating spreadsheet that claims to be a list of Indian male academics who have been accused of sexual harassment. I find that my name occurs twice in that list. In the first instance, my institution is named as the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta, with the figure 1 under the column “Number of victims”; the rest of the columns including “Description of complaint” and “Year of violence” are blank. The second entry mentions my institution as Columbia University with the “Number of victims” column left blank. It is unclear why the second entry appears on the list. I wish to state that there has never been a single complaint of sexual harassment made against me. Moreover, I am certain that in 44 years of my association with the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, I have never been involved in an incident in which I could be accused of having sexually harassed a student. I believe it is fair for me to demand that the nature of the allegation against me be made known to me so that I could make a specific response to it. Otherwise, I demand that my name be removed from the list. Partha Chatterjee is a social scientist and historian. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
