Witzel's setup an email address to lobby!! Why does he feel the need to setup an email address list? Why can't he do what he did last Nov i.e., 48 akadummies signing petition in 48 hours? Unless of course those signatures were bogus???
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> do not know the nature of this email address <b>berlinindilogy@gmail.com</b> which Witzel claims to have set up. Let me quote what Witzel said in his message on Dec. 11, 2006: "However, since time is of the essence, last night I wrote a detailed letter to the Berlin authorities. We have been told that it would be potentially helpful if other researchers involved either in Sanskrit, Indology, or other ancient fields that directly *or* indirectly depend on these fields could do the same. We have set up a special email address for letters addressed to the German officials at:
berlinindology@...Any letters sent to this address will be retransmitted to all the appropriate German officials, with a copy in each case to you. Your letters or names will NOT be made public."
I doubt if your letter will get forwarded, without being censored by Witzel, to the 'Berlin authorities', whoever they are. Let me find out if there is a direct way to write to the authorities of the universities/institutes involved not to go by the false claims of Witzel-led campaigners.. Indology studies/instituted involved are at Cambridge, Humbold University and Free University.
