The final shortlist of Top-15 across fields for Rhodes is out. From GNLU (since I am from GNLU), 1 student has made the cut from the pre-final list, while 1 student who is running an ambitious Project Sathi NGO has been knocked out from the race.

My first reaction: Rhodes may be changing its image as a scholarship programme that favours human rights and socialist causes.

Sigh…. Yet another human rights person. When will Rhodes shed its wokeism and reward good corp law candidates? This really needs to stop!

I know I'll get slapped with the woke label and all but seriously, what's the point of giving a scholarship as prestigious as Rhodes to people ultimately pursuing a career in corporate law? The goal of such people is to earn a lot of money, which isn't wrong by any means but not befitting of Rhodes in my

The Rhodes Finalist from GNLU wasn't even shortlisted by Schwarzman Scholars while the other other guy who didn't qualify for Rhodes Finals, made it to the Schwarzman Finals. I think both are equally competent and it's just a matter of luck beyond a point. Not to forget, they both knocked out all the toppers of their batch who applied for both but didn't shortlist for either.

Looks like you are a fanboy of the Schwarzman finalist. Just accept that the selected candidate was better. Why bring in such petty comparisons?

Zayaan's award of the Rhodes shows that Modi's model of development produces the best results for minorities.

Sab ka saath, sab ka Vikas. Cannot find a better example than GNLU.

They have their own awards. They don't slum with the other NLUs. If you haven't got that award, then you are completely incompetent and unqualified to talk about it.

Someone from NLUD actually got the thing, lol. The fanboys are here to stay.
