Why Gaurav Sabnis had to quit the job?

its more than a month now, but the drama(Gaurav Sabnis vs IIPM) refuses to die down. better late than never and whoever thinks that grave injustice has been done to Gaurav Sabnis for no fault of his should put a word of support for him in his/her blog/website/whatever. here is my two cent's worth.

i had only one complaint all through this controversy: why did Gaurav Sabnis has to quit his job?

even if it may be argued that IIPM has every right to defend its reputation, or that claims made by Gaurav Sabnis are completely untrue, still influencing him to quit from his job crosses all the boundaries of decency. If Gaurav's claims are untrue, then its _only_ JAMMAG writer who needs to be taken to the court and tried, because Gaurav has only done the job of quoting them and did not offer any new or material facts. Even otherwise, how proper was the act of emotional black-mailing the IBM mgmt by the IIPM and of bullying Gaurav endlessly, which finally resulted in Gaurav quitting his job? why didn't IIPM follow the legal procedures respecting the law of the land and take proper action against JAMMAG and Gaurav Sabnis without resorting to goonda-ism through their students and threats? IIPM has lost every bit of respect in my eyes by acting like power hooligans who have no decency to follow the customs of the land. when educators from the so called premiere institutes of india display such examples of arm-twisting to meet their ends, what can we expect from the uneducated lot?
i am surprised at how this injustice done to Gaurav has largely gone unnoticed and unopposed by the mainstream media in India and the blogging community of non-indians around the world. Still, it has not gone completely unnoticed; today the ripples could be traced in a large section of the blogging community:

if someone can respect an institution which sends a legal notice of this kind, then i have serious reservations regarding the mental stability of such a person.
