An Open Letter To The German Professor Who Denied Admission To The Indian Student

Admin 13-Mar-2015 13:58:19 Inothernews

Dear Dr. Annette G Beck-Sickinger, I came across your refusal to admit an Indian male student for internship while reading today's newspaper.

We find that India and Germany are in many ways closer than we think. And it's the duty of each and every citizen of India and Germany to ensure that both the nations become closer.

While we welcome the statement made by Mr. Michael Steiner, German Ambassador to India, we strongly register our displeasure at your sweeping generalization.

I would like to end this letter with a beautiful quote: "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (The whole world is one family)

Yours truly,

An Indian

This open letter by blogger Sridhar Puthillath's reflects the indignation and anger that all of us feel over the generalised statement. Indeed, for every man who commits/contemplates a rape, there are hundreds who treat women with due dignity and respect. You can read his original blogpost here.
