About the Author:
Teacher, thinker, author, radical religious reformer and, accidentally, a controversialist, Valson Thampu steered St. Stephen's College through a period of unprecedented turbulence as its twelfth principal (2007-2016). Thampu has combined his lifelong commitment to academics with an assortment of involvements that ranges from being a prolific columnist and social activist to quasi-judicial adjudication of minority rights as a member (2004-2007) of the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions, Government of India. His translation of the work of renowned Malayalam author Sarah Joseph, Othappu: The Scent of the Other Side, won him the Crossword Prize for Translation in 2010.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. For four decades, Reverend Valson Thampu served St. Stephen's College, Delhi. The last nine years of his tenure were rife with controversy, beginning with his stepping in as principal (OSD) in 2007. From accusations that he was 'Christianizing' the college to allegations that he curbed the fundamental rights of the students, Thampu was constantly in the glare of the media throughout his term as principal. What was the story behind these controversies? And why, as the world looked on, did Thampu stay on despite the threat to his reputation as well as the institution's? In On a Stormy Course, for the first time, he reveals his truth about the incidents that took place during his turbulent years as principal of one of the most prestigious educational institutions in India. In doing so, he reveals not just the trajectory that education at St Stephen's seems to have taken but also the rot in the system that has brought the college to such a pass and he lays down his views on how improving this system will serve social justice and, ultimately, the nation itself.
