Academic freedom is an important criteria for creating future human capital, for countries economic welfare in long term. It should not be comprised by narrow political objectives.
We have to also realize as a community, that no freedom can be achieved and sustained, without collective effort and peaceful resistance towards entities who want to disrupt the freedom by force , and it pretty well fits with the criteria of Academic freedom too.

--It was bound to happen and happened at last. We had a discussion on the subject in the beginning and many shared the same views as the news follows and few were against.............Education is a serious sector and not like any other sectors. Here we make good human beings.-----------------------------------------------------------The University Grants Commission (UGC) member M M Ansari has slammed the Union Minister for Human Resource Development (MHRD) Minister Smriti Irani for her "excessive interference" in the functioning of the commission and for taking "arbitrary and abrupt" decisions.
The first such attack on the minister by a serving UGC member comes at a time when she is in the eye of a storm for her ministry's decision to scrap German as a third language in Kendriya Vidyalayas.
"There is excessive interference from the minister in the UGC. One saw it in the FYUP issue, or in the way the ministry first decided on the Swacch Bharat implementation in the education sector and then informed us and asked us to send a circular to universities, or in how she announced the Swami Vivekanand scholarship programme for a single girl child without consulting us. The ministry has been simply imposing decisions. Any decision of the UGC should emerge from an exercise within the UGC," Ansari said.
The former CIC termed Irani's decisions as being "very arbitrary" and "abrupt" and alleges she was "too assertive". Ansari, who has been a UGC member since 2012, also questioned Irani's capabilities to lead the crucial education sector.
"The minister has no exposure of the education system. She has to depend on notes from bureaucrats, who have been well-planted by the government in the ministry, and think tanks comprising those from RSS and BJP. So how will she interact with academicians if she does not know the issues? It is demoralising for us," he said, adding "all appointments were being made bypassing procedures," reported Indian Express.
