Rutgers University professor and Islamic genocide apologist Audrey Truschke, recently bullied a freshman Hindu student named Rama Sardar at the Indiana University (IU) to resign from her university’s newspaper.

Truschke, who is a known Hinduphobe who glorified and called Aurangzeb and other Mughal rulers as seculars publicly indulged in Hinduphobia.

Rama, who is majoring in media at Indiana University, last month wrote an article titled to counter  Truschke in which she says “Why did the IU Islamic Studies Program Tweet in Support of a Hinduphobic Professor?” after Indiana University’s Islamic Studies Program’s director tweeted in support of the Hinduphobic professor.

In a tweet thread that has been posted on a page named ‘Hindu on Campus’ that recently took on Oxford University professor Abhijit Sarkar who bullied Rashmi Sawant, aims to create a safe space for Hindu students. The article soon became viral on social media platforms.

“I decided to write an opinion article on this matter and interviewed a Hindu student at IU. I reached out to the director, Robert Crouch, for an interview as well but he did not answer any of my questions. The article was published on March 24. To my surprise, it became the most read article of that week and it also went viral on Twitter,” said Rama.

After the article was published and widely received the Islamic Studies Program started complaining and raised objection about the editorial piece and claimed that few parts of the article drew an unfavorable light on the director Robert Crouch.

So after this objection was raised, Rama agreed to make the necessary edits, but much to her dismay and attack on freedom of speech, the Indiana Daily Student (IDS) management decided to un-publish the entire article citing a flimsy reason that the ‘edits would be too lengthy anyway’ and the article did not meet the journalistic ethics and standards.

The moment the article was taken down, selective free speech advocate Audrey Truschke sent out a tweet in which she said, “Indiana University’s student-run newspaper retracts two columns for inconsistencies with journalistic ethics and standards.” She further added, “Their leadership notes: We regret any harm inflicted as a result of their publication. I appreciate the integrity shown here.”

But to ensure her credentials as a free speech advocate, Truschke posted a follow-up tweet where she said, “Full disclosure I did not request that these article be retracted or altered in any way. I heard about this today, when it happened. “.

Many pointed out Truschke’s long history of going after Hindu students studying abroad like Rashmi Samanth, the ex-president of Oxford University Student Union who resigned after being bullied by the left and the Islamists for being a Hindu.

The Alliance of Progressive Hindus in a tweet said, Today, @/AudreyTruschke bullied a freshman Hindu student at Indiana University but was quick to delete her tweets. Imagine being this insecure that you need to harass a FRESHMAN?!

Disappointed at the harassment meted, Rama said, “My voice has been silenced because a powerful university program took issue with what I had to say, and my management took their side with no explanation,” whilst adding, “I never expected being censored, discriminated against for being Hindu, and speaking my mind. I never expected to be treated the way and the newspaper that I work for to just casually throw my hard work away.”
