Good to know IITB taking forward the good thing they have been part of (along with our awesome FOSS leaders!)

But it? rediff, and something? gotta be broken! It is Dr. Phatak, and not Dr. Pathak.
Bad or no proof reading? I think not. This is done to mislead the aam junta incase they wanna contact the concerned person. I've personally seen this happening for many articles not just this one.
I think it is a case of incomplete proof reading.
I have read the article and saw Dr. Phatak's name spelt correctly in 2 places, only in the last instance did I notice the error.
It happens. Have we not all, at one time or another, sent out emails w/o checking for spelling errors?

Not entirely correct. I first checked and saw this error at all places. Sometime later, I saw the first instance corrected but the next two were wrong. And now - you seem to have seen another revision!
At another times, I saw another article on rediff about another professor at IITB, again with a spelling mistake!
This isn't simply an informal email. This is an important article on a well-visited website - and on the 'front page'! It's shows how reliable these reports (and reporters) are. In any case, the bias on various news websites/papers/channels is obvious to people who have even some knowledge of the topic in focus. For everyone else - well, they are simply misled my the media on many topics! It's all about sensationalism and eye-ball catching.
Best wishes, jaju
