There may be some prettifying and window dressing to make law more palatable, but I repeat:
Law Is Force.
I saw an interview with him. He seems to be a likable guy and he didn’t back down from his claims.
It seems that many Indian Universities are just a leftist/Marxist as those in California and New York..
Look at what has happened to Notre Dame (Peter Butt’s territory) and DePaul (think it is in Indiana or Illinois - same difference).
Do you have a link to that? It would be a treat to see and hear him again.
