Ah no. Not really. I simply believe in removing the root causes.
That dimwitted and loudmouthed academic is - as you point out - simply an
example case. And my proposal to boot him out was prompted more by a
desire to see IIMs have actual quality in place rather than simply
punishing him.
On the other hand, having the bjp voted out of power in all the states its
currently dangerously active in (gujarat and karnataka now) would certainly
go far to remove the threat of such ideologies being backed by state power

This is pointless. There are a thousand others like him sending out
information that you don't get to read. You read this guy only because it is
your tendency to read a particular segment of the English media.
He is expressing an opinion and your reaction, with respect, is reminiscent of
the desire to personally punish people with contrarian opinions as shown by
both the Taliban and the Ram Sene.
voting out the bjp / other sangh parivar parties (whose ideologues seem to
be the ones mainly behind these tirades) in the election would certainly
help.
This is the only option. Get political support for your view.
Exactly what is being done about that?
