JNU CRACK DOWN
I don't know the Truth of what have happened in the JNU . I don't believe that JNUSU President have organized and was leading the anti national statement as shown in the Videos speculated in the media . But if it is true then it is wrong .
However there is no right on the govt of India to take it as anti national issue . I Think it should be treated as issue in the campus . I have seen several forum discussing the need for capital punishment & i think it could be same reason they also would have discussed . if at all something happened it was for the JNU to take action as disciplinary issue and not the Delhi police . Recently Delhi police behaviour is also found to be suspicious since they work as goons for Ruling central Govt.
BJP as a political party have no right to take this issue as nationalism since they praise nathuram Godse as patriot . Nationalism is too broad concept to accommodate all kinds of ideologies. Universities are knowledge centres and the way in which this government has started interfering in the affairs of the universities is only detrimental to the system of higher education in India. Government's credibility is questioned because it is not working for protecting education but, as rightly said by Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, for clamping down academic freedom and imposing Hindutva ideology on institutions that should otherwise be autonomous. Therefore, the BJP style of nationalism is limited to jingoism only. People are asking, IIT-Madras, FTII, Pune, Aligarh University, Hyderabad Central University, JNU - what next?Response to nationalism cannot be selective. But, the reaction of the government to JNU incident on the one hand and stoic silence to the regular display of Pakistani and ISIS flags in Kashmir on the other is a clear indication that nationalism has different meanings for BJP in different contexts. What kind of nationalism prompted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to visit Pakistan despite continuous abatement of terrorism by that country?
