New Delhi, February 28: Just hours after historian Audrey Truschke was caught forging fake signatures of several intellectuals in her recent hate letter directed at Vikram Sampath, she has now passed the blame on to ‘Hindu Right IT cells’ for ‘vandalizing’ it. On Sunday, many (including Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut & Pratap Bhanu Mehta), distanced themselves, denying signing the letter published by Truschke asking support for her false ‘plagiarism’ allegations against historian Vikram Sampath.
All of this started when the Rutgers University Professor Audrey Truschke published an open google form asking ‘concerned scholars’ to register their names for participating in a hate campaign directed against Vikram Sampath by 3 professors including Ananya Chakravarti, Rohit Chopra and herself.
On Sunday, many public figures who had not signed this letter found their names in the list published by her. While she took to Twitter to announce the so-called support by such ’75 concerned scholars’ whose names were included in the list, Individuals like Ramchandra Guha, Sanjay Raut and Pratap Bhanu Mehta made it clear that they had not signed any such letter.
My attention has been drawn to this letter below. I had never seen it before, and contrary to what is claimed there, I have not signed it, neither as Ramachandra Guha nor as "Ram Guha". https://t.co/xJj1BIDx3C

Soon after the gang of ‘historians’ led by Audrey Truschke was exposed while engaging in misinformation and forgery, she has taken to Twitter, to blame people from the ‘Hindu Right’ for supposedly ‘vandalizing’ her campaign. She tweeted, “Unsurprisingly, an open letter from academic colleagues supporting scholarly honesty and integrity was vandalized by Hindu Right IT cells, with the goal of manufacturing confusion and fear. The letter is now closed, for security.”
