Dilip Chakrabarti, noted Hindutava historian and most well-known face of Indian Council for Historical Research (ICHR), may continue editing the Council's journal, Indian Historical Review, from Cambridge, despite bureaucratic pinpricks. After the government refused to foot his travel fare from Cambridge to Delhi to attend meetings of the ICHR, he will no longer be part of its general council proceedings. Chakrabarti was invited to participate in the next ICHR meeting on March 29 via video-conferencing, but he is learnt to have turned it down. Apparently, Chakrabarti has said that he is old and isn't tech-savvy to make use of video-conferencing facilities.
