<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Witzel's evangelical wikipedia edits
Michael Witzel of Harvard University has been engaging in evangelism in the guise of teaching Sanskrit, indology.
It's time for reckoning; it is time to ask Witzel to quit his position in Harvard University.
In one of the emails produced by Dalit Freedom Network, Witzel notes "<b>(p)lease check what Wikipedia says about your organizationâ¦They always put back what I erase.</b>" In reaction to the forwarded message, DFN's Executive Director asks whether "(DFN) can⦠edit this ourselves⦠I do not want to start being identified as a mission (sic) organizationâ¦" â¦many principals of DFN are unabashed in their antagonism towards Hinduism.
See how Witzel edited, repeatedly, his multiple evangelical posts, in the context of the California Textbook issue:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contr...ns/65.78.20.179
Wikipedia frowns on people editing pages about themselves, especially those who clean up negative descriptions of themselves.
The IP address noted above shows that Witzel has done that too.
In my view, this conduct should also attract ethics/academic standards committees in Highebr Educational institutions like Harvard University and Members of Harvard Corporation. Surely, this is conduct unbecoming of a professor occupying a chair in a prestigious university. Will Harvard Corporation ethics and academic standards enforcement administrators take note and act to save the image of the prestigious institution?
The Subpoena and motion to compel Witzelâa veritable expose of Witzel's anti-hindu tirades, trampling upon Hindu Civil Rights --Â is available at the URL:Â http://capeem.org/docs/CompelWitzel.pdf
