Swaroop C H, The Dreamer

[…] We at DesiPundit condemn IIPM and their chamcha blogs (no links offered here) for their despicable attitude. Kaps has issued a call to join the fight against IIPM. Harini, Srini, Charu, Anshul, Amrit, Muthuvel, Thalassa Mikra, Jagan, Vijay Krishna, Vatsan, Jo, Varna, Swaroop CH, Shivam, and Ash  have heeded the call. Add URLs of your posts in the comments; I’ll be glad to add them to the list. […]

Didn’t know that Mediaah was shut down - I am quite surprised. Does the TOI have jurisdiction over sites hosted outside india like blogger ? I guess they found out the id of the guy behind the site and he got a notice served on him in India. I wonder how effective the extra payment that some registrars demand for anonymous DN registration is ?

[…] A lot of Indian blogs have been echoing this call for support. The latest development has been that Gaurav Sabnis has quit his job with IBM. He says - …I have resigned from IBM. The decision is entirely my own and I was not asked by IBM to resign, nor was I pressured in any manner by any executive from IBM. I took the decision in view of some really bizarre threats that were apparently made by IIPM to IBM… […]

>I really wonder about the credibility of this institute. I agree totally. From the tacky ads to their pompous claims, looks like a very weird institution, to say the least.

>I’ve finally convinced my Dad to switch from Times of India to Deccan Herald. Ah, sanity

�度的部�格圈最近都�繞著一間極富爭議的教育機構。「優勢點�是Gaurav Sabnis所經營的部�格，他收到該教育機構寄來的電�郵件，�求他移除部�格上所有質疑該機構的文章。在JAM雜誌逅

@Rams : I wonder whether their threat would be validated in court at all. However, most people (including me) would just not want to be involved in such things.

@Pradeep : Yes, still waiting for the newspaper to be changed

@Pramod :

first of all, if you want to read real newspaper read “The Hindu”. personal opinion is nothing comes close to it

second of all, seems like 23 year history of IIPM is not found anymore (http://www.iipm.edu/aboutiipm.html)

@Ganesh: We used to get The Hindu for many years before switching to TOI (when it used to be sober). We switched because the Bangalore edition of The Hindu was too Chennai-centric.

Very interesting, Looks like IIPM have a lot to hide.

Btw, there is supposed to be an NDTV story on this in the ‘Mumbai Live’ segment.

Hey, I fully agree that TOI sucks, but I am still buying it for the Pune Times crossword and the Sports section. Also we must not forget that 90% of the media is biased in India. Also I am worried that Sabnis and Rashmi may end up as the bad guys coz they were the ones who “used” Internet.

Anyways I read the Kannada comment, and oh saw the Chingy comment. Way too kool - typing English wasnt bad enough? !!!!

The Times of India Sucks. Can’t say about IIPM though…dont know much.

But whatever happpened to freedom of speech and expression [FOSAE]…and that a newspaper barred someone from FOSAE! - Disgusting

IIPMite replies…

i m a self proclaimed IIPM chamcha. Im also the one that the entire blogosphere is certainly most concerned about….Im an IIPM student.

now the Mr. gaurav is revelling in his 15 minutes of fame. ive read enuf of this stuff…. funny how evry1 seems to be an expert on my college. declaring it a fraud and so on. yes, entry to my college is easier than a lot of other college… but does that nessecarily make iipm bad/fraud/rest of the bul*** .

Infact im greatful it gave me a chance to pursue a worldclass MBA programme.(please there is no argument about course content and as far as faculties are concerned they are they same bunch that that teach at IIT,IIFT,FMS and IMI)plus how many B-schools students can boast to attended lectures from Kotler,Steven Covey,Joel Stein or Zig Zigler(to name a few) but i can.

im not defending any action or criticising the right to free speech …. but yes irresponsible unckecked banter/lies/ can harm ppl(read students) more whom every1 seems to b concerned about.

to end i will give u a true fact im a second year IIPM delhi student … who has been placed in an korean electronics major(read NO.1 consumer durables in india) with a CTC of 4.5L pa. through campus 2 weeks ago.and the placement season has just started. I leave for the the readers to judge about my college…… not that IIPM needs ne 1s aproval

@IIPMite: Since you neither gave your real name or email address, you have no real credibility, so I choose not to reply to your comment.

come on swaroop… u couldve done better.

my email ID is with with blogsite so any reply u give on the blog is automatically on my email inbox.

my real name… now u are getting personal.Coz ive seen enuf of this blog war getting nasty and personal….Im not here to be a part of it. i put myreply to show the real picture.

but u know what ill give u a chance to find out my name. Ive be recruited by the NO.1 Korean Electronics major in India ….. so if u have intellect to guess the company and resources to get my name(Im a Bong)…ur welcome.

but more than my name i wud prefered u to comment on what i wrote. and please i expect a more balanced reply from urside. dont dissapoint me Buddy….
