Not a JGLS student. Not a NLU student either. But I’ve followed this entire fiasco. This was really not needed.
It started with tweets from primarily two people I have the screenshots but I don’t i think I should mention the usernames for privacy. One of those two people was a 14 year old anti caste activist who tweeted, “ Never understood how kids from Ashoka and Jindal mention their colleges with so much pride. Like please keep that shit to yourself it's embarrassing” which was out of nowhere. Then came another tweet or comment from a law student on jindal kid’s og tweet which was related to the ongoing cancellation of exams, which went like “they really do argue about the lack of merit while sitting in Jindal. If u are in a private university, work with the assumption that u have no merit”.
This was replied by Jindal kid and her tweets triggered a huge uproar. Two of her tweets went like this, “Sorry I was born to two people who could afford decent education for their child and didn’t want me to spend my 20s from the ragging and harassment going on in govt colleges” and then “My LSAT score was 98.9 and I came in the top 500 rank of AILET. I’ve been a straight A student and topper all my life, with a CV that doesn’t have the word “participation” in it. I cleared 30 great college entrances across the country and Jindal gave me a free ride. But pls go on.”
The tweets jindal students went viral and she started beefing with 3-4 NLU kids who replied to the comment. She further posted her AILET and CLAT results to prove her point and merit. And this attempt of her trying to prove her ranks was trolled heavily. This trolling soon turned into bullying when some kids made sexual slurs amongst other kind of objectionable comments against her. When this started some jgls kids came to her defence and this incited more NLU students to join forces. Subsequently Jindal and its students were targeted.
My opinion hereon:-
JGLS student’s tweet might be problematic but what’s more problematic is the tweet that she replied to. “they really do argue about the lack of merit while sitting in Jindal. If u are in a private university, work with the assumption that u have no merit”— this is the real problem. This kind of ideology and superiority complex is extremely problematic. Students from private colleges are beating government colleges in jobs that are acquired through merit, moots, debates and what not. As pointed out by OP getting into an NLU is a cakewalk thanks to NRI reservations. Universities like Symbiosis, Nirma and NMIMS are consistently ranked above most of your government NLUs and are performing everywhere.
