The 2010 assault in Kerala occurred on 4 July 2010 at Muvattupuzha near Nirmala College in the Ernakulam district of Kerala, India. T. J. Joseph, a professor of Malayalam at Newman College, Thodupuzha, a Christian minority institution affiliated to Mahatma Gandhi University had his hand cut off at the wrist as punishment on allegation of blasphemy, by people belonging to Popular Front of India, a confederation of radical,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=English News | Top Stories )〕 fanatic, Muslim fundamentalist and extremist〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Police unearth CDs of Taliban like terror module in Kerala )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PFI – an Extremist Caucus Prophet Muhammad's Recipe for World Peace – Latest News about Muslims,Islam )〕 organisations in South India. Some reports indicate the attack resulted from a ruling from a "Taliban-model" court. The Minister of Home Affairs of Kerala, Kodiyeri Balakrishnan, made a statement that while government is aware that the there is a local ''Dar-ul Khada'' set up by the Popular Front of India under the supervision of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, functioning to resolve civil disputes, there were no complaints received that it was passing "Taliban-model" orders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kaumudi Online – English Edition )〕 == Background == T. J. Joseph, a professor of Malayalam language at Newman College, Thodupuzha, set a question in the Malayalam semester examination paper for second-year BCom students in March 2010. In the examination, question 11 asked students to punctuate a dialogue between a character and God, given below: The passage was adapted from a lecture by Malayalam film director P. T. Kunju Muhammed that was in his book, ''Thirakathayude Reethisasthram'' (Methodology of Screenplay), published by Kerala State Institute of Languages.〔http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Newman:+Q+sourced+from+Kunhumohammed+article.-a0231057004 Newman: Q sourced from Kunhumohammed article. New Indian Express 〕〔http://www.keralabhashainstitute.org/catalog.pdf〕 In the original text, Kunju Muhammed explains a scene in his 1999 film ''Garshom'', in which the character Murali, a NRI who has returned to India, is madly talking to himself. Kunju Muhammed based the character Murali on a schizophrenic that he had met near the road who was talking to God. Joseph named the unnamed schizophrenic character as Muhammed in the question paper, as a reference to the author Kunju Muhammed, but it also made the text open to interpretation as a dialogue between God and Prophet Muhammad. The local edition of the Madhyamam Daily reported the incident,〔 sparking off the controversy alleging blasphemy. Several Muslim organisations protested the alleged defamation of the Prophet Muhammed.〔http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Cops+on+the+lookout+for+college+professor.-a0222446478 〕 The Campus Front, the Popular Front of India's student wing, launched an agitation against the professor. Student groups affiliated to the Indian National Congress and the Indian Union Muslim League also marched towards the college in protest. Copies of the question paper were circulated in sensitive areas by various Muslim organisations. An all-party meeting called by the District Collector decided to recommend action against the professor responsible for incorporating the question that reportedly hurt the religious sentiments of the community. The state police registered a case under Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code (for causing communal hatred) against the professor who subsequently absconded. The police then issued a lookout notice for him and arrested him a week later. He was then released on bail in April. The Newman College authorities also suspended him from the college and apologised for the mistake.〔(College principal faces MGU axe. ) – ''The New Indian Express''〕〔(College teacher held. ) ''The New Indian Express''〕〔(Cops on the lookout for college professor.
