Sharing this in light of recent posts about Sudhir. Let's stop treating him like a god and let's stop calling students who criticise him as lazy and motivated.
"Had Sudhir patiently read my paper, dug a little deeper and assessed the overall situation with more objective eyes, he might not have jumped to this perverse conclusion that my paper represented “concerns of a particular interest group”.... Perhaps for an academic who feels left out of the whole debate, this stems out of a desperate need to make his/her voice felt in some way. ... As opposed to others, who may feel left out of the whole debate and resort to fancy terms like “industry capture” to make themselves heard. If there is anything that deserves “moral censure” (again a term used in Sudhir’s article), it is precisely this sort of a publicity stunt that lacks rigorous analysis and is informed less by logic and more by shoddy investigation."
