USA House of Representatives and Business delegation meet Gujarat CM Narendra Modi in Gandhinagar on March 28, days after Wharton’s WIEF event.
By Janice C.
(CHAKRA) In 2013, the prestigious school of Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania had its annual Wharton India Economic Forum (WIEF). The event organizers invited Narendra Modi to be their keynote speaker via live telecast, but due to later cancelled his invitation due to pressure from non-Wharton staff with opinionated and furious bias of Modi’s involvement in the 2002 Gujarat riots where hundreds of Hindus and Muslims both died.
More details on the ‘furious’ anti-Modi petition that prevented Modi from speaking at the event can be read here. Ironically, a few days after Wharton’s WIEF event, Modi was visited by a USA delegation in Gujarat. The delegation consisted of 3 USA Congress Representative (Cathy Rodgers, Representative Aaron Schock and Representative Cynthia Lummis) with prominent business persons also present.
The below video describes who opposed Modi’s invite and caused pressure on Wharton’s WIEF organizers via their ‘furious’ petition. Some of the names indicated in the video are Ania Loomba, Toorjo Ghosh, Anjali Arondekar, who all have some type of connections to Angana Chatterji, a key player in the opposition of Modi’s 2005 USA visit, based on the video below. The video also highlights how some of the anti-Modi petitioners have been associated with other common campaigns in the past.
It seems even in modern America it is possible for some academics that are accused by many to be biased against a religion and community can help stop a respected 3-time democratically elected official from speaking at an economic conference, even though hundreds of professionals and students protested the decision to ban Modi from speaking at the event. More details about the pro free-speech, pro freedom of thought, pro democracy and pro-Modi protests can be read here.
Please take 10 minutes to watch the below video describing some not-so-public details around the whole anti-Narendra Modi petition that influenced the Wharton WIEF from hosting the Gujarat Chief Minister and potential next PM of India.

March 29, 2013 at 9:17 pmExcellent job at uncovering this disgusting nexus between these anti-India forces. How on earth are such people appointed to chair South-Asian or India studies? They should be highlighted in every forum as India haters, put on the watch-list of the Indian government, have their India-visas cancelled, and organizations that fund such Chairs should be informed about their disreputable activities, and the need to pull funding away from these universities. Hit where it hurts.

March 29, 2013 at 9:56 pmThe author forgets to mention that these hypocrites including the women amongst them let alone their India based sisters like Susannah Arundhati Roy or brothers like Mahesh Bhat et al have also not condemned the tens of thousands of atrocities against Hindu & other minorities committed over last 12 years in the form of rape/gang rape, murder. maiming, temple razing, land grab, torching of houses and forced expulsion from their ancestral homes in Bangladesh whereas in that country there have been a large number of Muslim reporters and human rights activists taking the risks in writing against such crimes against humanity. Are these lot human beings?

March 30, 2013 at 12:36 amIndian Leftist intellectuals are the biggest frauds , worse than terrorists, at least terrorist live through their ideology and conviction though the wrong ones. whereas these Indian Leftist intellectuals neither have loyalty nor sincerity towards their own ideology nor have they any conviction. If they are really that wedded to the leftist ideology they should live and operate from China and Russia but they always stay in the comforts of USA and wield their leftist ideology through the media. It is in the interest of USA itself to check these parasites on its economy, in its academic institutes and in the media houses and chuck them out of USA by foisting cases against them. They do more harm than the terrorist because these pseudo leftist and pseudo socialists who occupy the positions in important academic and media circles are the commanders of cultural terrorism and their financial sponsors are the Islamic terror outfits and petrol mafia a deadly combination which can spell danger to the US economy. Their ideological terror outfit works in unison to leech USA of its wealth and respectability.

March 31, 2013 at 9:09 amSir,
Namaskar. I do not know what I shall submit is directly relevant to the subject.
Let the Muslims internalise mutual respect vis-a-vis people of other faiths as Hindus have been doing for over two millennia and find out for themselves where they stand. May I appeal to Muslims and non-Muslim friends of Muslims to respond on this. SC Panda

April 18, 2013 at 3:42 amUnless and untill , we hindus unite, anti hindus will flourish and harm our faith. How long are we going to take it lying down? Attack on Bengali hindus in such a large scale is serious. No news in the media about it. Silence of all “secular” parties. They have become a minority in their own state and are helpless. Request the readers to start a campaing among their own friends to vote out anti hindu parties in the next elections.
