that "...this is all about political correctness and to show how non racist Leeds University is. Its not really about achievement, its about notoriety."

Just found the following extracts from an article on BBC site ...

"The university was a partner of the International Indian Film Academy Awards, held in Yorkshire last month.

The university previously awarded film star Amitabh Bachchan with an honorary degree.

It said its "pioneering partnership" with the International Indian Film Academy Awards aimed to strengthen educational, business, arts and sporting links with India."

Not sure why I'm digging away at this - must have suddenly gawn all nashonilistic an' patrottic. :/
