I created this topic to collect the names and info on our commies and leftists who are abroad and work tirelessly to screw Hindus and support Muslim terrorism.
I am aware that some like Angana Chatterjee are well known but there are lesser fish floating around that are not known.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> Ironically enough, Goldberg was involved in a major UC controversy that would have provided her an ideal soapbox to complain about the universityâs intellectual apartheid. The only problem is that Goldberg simply didnât care about the issue. As Chair of the Task Force on Course Descriptions (serving under the UC-wide Academic Senate), Goldberg dealt with the case of the Fall 2002 UC Berkeley course, âThe Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance,â taught by notorious radical (and teaching assistant) Snehal Shingavi.
The course was infamous for its catalog description, which laid out its extreme pro-Palestinian ideological precepts and then cautioned, âConservative thinkers are encouraged to seek other sections.â The course was not unusual in content, or even in its spittle-soaked claims of a âbrutal Israeli military occupation of Palestineâ that has âsystematically displaced, killed and maimed millions of Palestinian people.â Rather, it was unusual only in its forthright declaration of its overwhelming bias; most professors couch their classroom bias in generic language.
      A May 9, 2002 Wall Street Journal opinion article by Roger Kimball first publicized the course description, and in particular, that pithy, sound-bite friendly declaration, âconservative thinkers should seek other sections.â What ensued was no less than an epic political sh1t-storm, which was matched by an equally epic cover-up on the part of Berkeley Chancellor Robert Berdahl. In the end, Shingavi was neither fired nor even removed from the course. Instead, the course description was bowdlerized, an English department faculty member was assigned to monitor the class, and the English department chair met with students on the first day of class to reaffirm their right to open discussion and fair grading. On a broader level, there was a flurry of task force formations, the imposition of new bureaucratic rules, and much voting to express and reaffirm concern of various types, ad infinitum. Untouched in the entire controversy was the underlying issue of why Shingavi (a fifth-year graduate student and a leader in the violent Berkeley group Students for Justice in Palestine) could get approval to teach such a biased course, particularly on a topic to which his political activism proved he could bring no objectivity. Instead, the report ended with a host of cheerful comments from 11 of the 14 final participants. The forced conclusion: âSee? Berkeley doesnât have any problems. This was all a big conservative overreaction.â

So I googled Shingavi and came up with this:

About Me:
I'm a socialist, and probably a poet at heart, though I write bad poetry and so have all but given up attempting to compose moving verse -- I'm settling for semi-competent prose. I've just finished a translation of a Hindi novel which is now available from Oxford University Press (hint, hint), and I'm trying to finish my dissertation ... but Bush keeps going to war or invading another country and protesting him keeps getting in the way. In the meantime, INQUILAB ZINDABAD !

These are kinds who will poison the minds of NRI students with their one sided propaganda in universities and we need to be aware of them.
So keep posting new names whenever you come across them.
