After proposing to award Hon Doctorate to India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Harvard, world's top university, has made a revolutionary change in its admission policy.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has clearly proved that "a son of a poor mother", like him, can manage India's complex economy in a much better way than highly experienced Harvard-educated professional economists some of whom are even Nobel Laureates," Drew Faust, President of Harvard University, is supposed to have said in a yet to be released press note. Ms. Faust was clearly referring to the recent election speech of Modi in which he claimed that his decision of demonetizing India's high-value currency notes - called NoteBandi - was a great decision. Modi also gave GDP growth figures and other data in support of his claim.
