Shanghai rankings of global universities, publisher of Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), started its activity in 2003. Balaram wrote an editorial with a clear warning to our educational planners: 'I found the Shanghai rankings provocative and disturbing. It is clear that academic ambience of our large institutions is decaying.

I published a letter in response to this editorial.
