An Indian American scientist was, on Saturday, asked to vacate his government house here in three days, nearly two weeks after being sacked from a senior post at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
"I did not know people can be so vindictive," said Shiva Ayyadurai, who was appointed in CSIR as the first "Outstanding Scientist /Technologist of Indian Origin," under a new scheme sanctioned in December 2008 to attract expatriate Indian scientists to leadership positions. His services were terminated Oct 26, just after four months into the job.
