Congress leader Shashi Tharoor backs Savarkar in syllabus

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor backed Savarkar in syllabus of Kannur University. Tharoor tweeted, "Some friends disapprove of my stand that academic freedom requires us to read, understand & debate every point of view, including those we disagree with. If we don’t read Savarkar& Golwalkar, on what basis will we oppose their ideas? Kannur University also teaches Gandhi&Tagore."
