> A senior manager at Google, named Tanuja Gupta, resigned from the company on Wednesday, 1 June, after a Dalit rights activist was not allowed to give a presentation on caste following emails by employees calling her "anti-Hindu."
This doesn't provide any context. Was Gupta resigning because she was for the presentation, or was she involved in blocking it?
The recent WP article explains this much better:

> Tanuja Gupta, a senior manager at Google News who invited Soundararajan to speak, resigned over the incident, according to a copy of her goodbye email posted internally Wednesday and viewed by The Washington Post.
- rafram 4y agoThat information is also in the original linked article, stated almost identically: > Gupta, the senior manager at Google News who had invited Soundararajan to speak on the matter, thus put in her papers on Wednesday.
- elihu 4y agoAh, I missed the "read full article" button and thought the first couple paragraphs was the entire thing. (It seems like they could have included that detail in the intro.)
- yurlungur 4y agoShe also believed she may have been unfairly retaliated against regarding her perf. That's probably the main reason she resigned. Not necessarily that the speaker was not approved.
