THE IIPM CONTROVERSY.
Gaurav Sabnis, a popular Indian blogger has been served a legal notice for this article.
Gaurav gathered the materials of the controversial post from a survey conducted by JAM magazine.
This legal notice did not have its intended effect. Therefore IIPM decided to employ another tactic. IIPM’s students use Thinkpads. IBM’s(Lenovo) Delhi office received a threat that IIPM’s students would burn their thinkpads in front of the IBM office if they did not force Sabnis to withdraw his statements or give a written apology. Gaurav had 2 options: Delete his comments/give a written Apology or Resign from IBM so that IBM would be not receive negative publicity if IIPM did decide to go ahead with their threat. So Gaurav did something commendable(and brave) and resigned from IBM effective 10 Oct.
Few days later another blogger Varna also got an identical notice from IIPM.
The IIPM guys thought this way they could shut their mouth. But they didn't have any clue about the strength of the bloggers' fraternity. Hundreds of bloggers from all over the world have come forward to show their solidarity with Gaurav and Varna.
Give Gaurav and Varna all the support you can. We all need it.
