Being a member / moderator / owner of various e-groups (tech non-tech) in India, I know very well, how quickly one can become an outcast for speaking out. Especially, against somebody popular like Anand. I would personally, recommend, that a proper warning be served to Anand for his misconduct. I sincerely hope that Anand is given his due for his uncalled and unwarranted 'sarcastic humor'. I am taking the trouble to escalate this issue, since Anand is a member of PSF and President of Indian Python Software Society. People with attitude like his should not be allowed to hold such posts.

If you don't want to get entangled in this mess, email the code to me, I will guarantee your anonymity. Anand, in the meanwhile please read : http://www.pyladies.com/CodeOfConduct/ I agree with Pratham. It doesn't seems from Anand's mail that he is apologetic for his behavior. His final mail where he apologizes after quoting from the Zen is like mocking others. The kind of behavior is totally unacceptable and is kind of Cyber Violence and more specifically Cyber Bullying. Legally speaking it can also lead to a case of Online Harassment under Sexual Harassment and Cyber Bullying under Sec 66A of IT Act 2000.

In the remaining two months, you will repeat this exercise in the large: namely, for Python.
