By the below post i do not intend to do any harm to any past or present students of IIPM. It is just a voice of support for "free speech"</b><br /><br />(I generally do not blog here & http://www.livejournal.com/users/mekin/29535.html continues to be my blog .. but as a lot of activity about this issue has been on blogger i am X-posting here) <br /><br />Here is my bit - to get this topic more exposure as well as add fractions of pennies that can help the relevant sites get to the top of search results.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.desipundit.com/2005/10/08/lies-damned-lies-and-fake-blogs/">Desipundit</a> has a very detailed "ball by ball" summary of what has happened and the actions that bloggers are taking up.<br /><br /><br />There are a lot of other links that talk of the event.<br />From the horse's (Gaurav Sabnis) mouth - <a href="http://gauravsabnis.blogspot.com/2005/10/update.html">here</a> and <a href="http://gauravsabnis.blogspot.com/2005/10/im-disconnecting-my-cable-connection.html">here</a> and <br /><a href="http://gauravsabnis.blogspot.com/2005/10/silence.html">here</a><br /><br />Also <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Indian_Institute_of_Planning_and_Management">IIPM</a> gives some insight into what IIPM is about and the current issue.<br /><br />Also, an <a href="http://kanishkaagiwal.blogspot.com/2005/07/thok-sako-to-thok-lo.html">old post about IIPM</a> by a friend started getting some comments .. but again no evidence .. just comments.<br /><br />There are quite a few sensible comments from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/13991818">Andy</a> in response to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11164507&postID=112878784592174106&isPopup=true">kaps post </a><br />and i am glad that i have found at least one sensible post from the other side.<br /><br /><b> But to me the demands are quite straight forward. All that IIPM needs to do is present the truth. If you are an IIPM student and all this is offending you and you think it is not the truth. Please present the truth instead of saying "this is not true". You can do it in form of photos and videos of the campus (camera phones). Detailed description of your alumnus as well as the faculty. With links to established pages. <br /></b><br />Below is a petition that pretty much states my "ask" for the truth. I promise to take this post down and apologise for being biased as soon as we recieve proof that what IIPM has advertised is true.<br />You can sign the <a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/IIPM/petition.html">petition</a> that asks IIPM to come out clean by saying out the truth.<br />A lot of people have written about this raging issue. I quote the ones that i found interesting.:<br /><br /><a href="http://123suds.blogspot.com/2005/10/iipm-blogosphere-outrage.html">Sadagopan </a><br /><a href="http://sambharmafia.blogspot.com/2005/10/iipm-online-petition.html">Kaps</a> and <br /><a href="http://sambharmafia.blogspot.com/2005/10/join-fight-against-iipm-and-string-of.html">more from kaps </a><br /><a href="http://70.86.150.98/Hindustantimes/artMailDisp.aspx?article=12_10_2005_003_003&typ=0&pub=264">ANUSHA Subramanian</a><br /><br /><br />awaiting ... the truth .. <br />silence or claims that "what iipm claims is true" - do not serve as truth.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15546247-112927196867897180?l=mekinsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mekinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04324420594354261202noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15546247.post-1124373373869816032005-08-18T06:54:00.000-07:002005-08-18T06:56:13.873-07:00I blog regularly at http://livejournal.com/~mekin<br />This is for commenting on friends blogs which are on blogspot ..<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15546247-112437337386981603?l=mekinsblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mekinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04324420594354261202noreply@blogger.com1
