These, in my opinion, are misguided suggestions from liberals. Choosing to accommodate a perspective even when you disagree with it, is to endorse its intellectual validity over a million others. It is a statement of agreement to the other person’s allegiance to truth, if not other values. Having said that, it is unlikely that an institution will ever invite Zakir Naik (or Radhe Maa).

Before inviting a mystic or godman to an educational institution, we seriously need to look into the said person’s background, qualifications, previous work /statements, lest it devolve into a situation that occurred in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha in 2016, when a Jain monk in the nude was invited to deliver his kadve pravachan.

But Sadhguru’s wardrobe, and success in business, don’t qualify him for exemption. If he was invited to talk on say business practices to management graduates, it would have been more understandable.

It appears that Sadhguru is becoming Modi's ‘Ramdev’ for 2019, pushing his favourite ‘philosophical views’ into the mainstream through non-political channels. But make no mistake, truth is nobody's fiefdom.
