‘Deity Brahma had raped his daughter. Indra disguised as Sage Gautam and raped his wife. Lord Vishnu raped the wife of King Jalandhar ! ‘
(Hindu Professors make such statements due to a lack of education on Dharma. If such a statement had been made at Aligarh Muslim University regarding Islam, he would not be suspended by the University but sent home. In addition, a fatwa would have been issued against the Professor. The life of a disrespectful Professor could have been endangered by the religious fanatic students of the University. – Editor)
