Recently, I came across a Twitter thread by a SC Advocate Mr. Shubendu Anand who talked about cancel Culture & intolerance at NLSIU. Would be great if someone can give context and elaborate on it as Harward of the East should actually be hallmark of excellence and tolerance.
Have seen people openly disparage the true pride of Hindus and disrespect Modiji. All these woke SJWs driving their agenda down our throats, human rights this religious tolerance that. Leftists. /s
The /S is known as the sarcasm switch. When you are typing a post use it at the end of your post so people know you are actually being sarcastic. Should have explained haha.
Eh. Some bhakt feels like his views aren’t held as equally valid. Most likely because his views aren’t equally valid. You can’t be so tolerant you forget to be critical and you forget to be truthful. And while people have the right to different political opinions - they don’t have the right to have everyone else accept their bigotry without social consequences. You have rights against the state not against every one else telling you you’re wrong or judging you for being ignorant.
This sort of stuff doesn’t bother me much. Sanghis have always hated on nls. We’ll be just fine.
Kian, Why don't you censor words such as 'bhakt', 'sanghi'? You'll definitely do censor words such as 'liberandu', 'sickular'. Aforementioned ones are always used in a derogatory way.
Most top NLU kids are pure castiests who act woke-cancel others with a different opinion and claim to be Communists while being the biggest enablers of everything opposite. They maybe doing all these SJW work to hide thier real self.
They said this about nalsar and Sadhguru too but LOL, there was just a bunch of squawking by brainwashed people. Same with NLS and the Supreme leader (read supremely problematic leader)
People who cry about 'cancel culture' are the ones who don't want to be held accountable for their bigotry. That guy Subhendu has Savarkarite written in his bio, so who cares what he thinks.
That's the exemplification of problematic cancel culture. You cannot just boycott someone who believes in Savarkar ideals. You should engage with him with your ideals, debate why Sawarkar in your opinion was wrong or why in his opinion was right. Engage, debate, learn and unlearn. Should never boycott. Btw Congress-ShivSena govt in Maharashtra is demanding Bharat Ratna for same Sawarkar, so obviously if someone is eligible for Bharat Ratna, he would have a contribution in nation building.
NLS is den of left liberal narrative who like to be in their eco-chambers. These people don't know the real India which understands the Indian ethos and are driven by nationalism, development, cultural integration and harmony. Left liberals dominate Indian Universities but don't exist outside as can be seen from election results of 2014 & 2019
Give me 2 reasons as to if in your opinion ModiJi is bad, why did people of India support him 2 consecutive elections. Just see the emotional and financial support Indian Olympic champions received from government. Even foreign coaches like Graham Reid, Sjoerd Marijne spoke highly about Modi Ji.
1. People of India did not support Modiji in the elections. His party got less than 40% of the popular votes. 2. You are displaying your ignorance if you think that our athletes in general get a lot of support from the government. In fact, governments have even reneged on the promises made to olympic medal winners in the past, let alone others. Athletes here have suffered during the pandemic from lack of practice options, and the government had actually reduced the sports budget in 2020. At least pretend that you read some real world news!
40% is still the highest amongst all 100 different political parties. The difference was such that 2nd largest party got less than 10% of seats & is without any official LoP in Lok Sabha. 50% majority can never work in multi party system like India. If it was a 2 party fight between BJP & Congis led by Gandhi, BJP would win more than 75% of votes.
As far as 2nd part of your comment is concerned, just check what Anju Boby George said about this govt. during interview on Olympic Broadcast in Sony Six. She explicitly stated that during Congress, even sports ministers were not interested in sports. In this govt. even PM personally ensures that athlete is motivated.
1. It's cute to see how you immediately shifted the goalpost from 'people in India voting for BJP' to 'BJP getting more votes than Congress' the moment you were made to face facts and stats. Not much else is expected from Bhakts though, obviously. 2. Do you even have any facts to support your claim of this government providing extraordinary or even adequate support to the athletes, or are all your research skills only limited to finding out what the Congress didn't do? As for the PM calling up athletes to 'motivate' them, that's rich after not ensuring that they get enough funding/facilities for training (one promising athlete was forced to train in the forest by tying a piece of bamboo between two trees, which you would have got to know had you actually read anything other than right-wing mouthpieces) and after cutting down sports budget in the year of Olympics.
I'm sure Mr. Shubhendu doesn't have much to say about his buddies at the ABVP who aren't exactly free speech warriors in the campuses they operate. Whining about cancel culture after that seems a tad bit self serving then.
Can someone please say what happened at NLS? Simply saying oh they are intolerant, oh there is echo chamber, oh liberals are stupid means nothing without context.
Isn't BJP gaining prominence in NLSIU too? Heard that a sitting CM's kid from a BJP ruled state would study there. Funny how people are using mental gymnastics to justify Savarkar.
The concerned CM is Himanta Biswa Sarma, probably the best CM in India currently. He's no nonsense administrator, is very clear on his ideology, is a proven performer and thinks very high of his state & India. Will be good if his son studies there and strengthens the alternative narrative as a counter to leftists and commies.
Clearly, your idea of "cancel culture" is law school students refusing to engage with a bunch of bigoted supporters of fascism. What an absolute joke. Conservatism (unfortunately) is a fairly dominant opinion and is in no way oppressed or suppressed in the mainstream, and certainly doesn't need an additional space in law schools, which are better off providing a space for counter narratives to grow and for others to have a voice.
'Dominant narrative': This is a Hindu nation, Hinduism means what I have been told by the RSS about its meaning, if you eat non-veg/beef you are not really a Hindu, Jai Shriram should be our national anthem, every Indian should speak and write only in Hindi, and Muslims can either go to Pakistan or Bangladesh or just admit that their lives are full of blasphemy for which they should be punished daily. Oh, and also, if you do not like Modiji, Yogiji, or Amitji, then you are definitely not a Hindu, or an India, but a "sickular, libtard, Khangressi, and librandu". Plus whatever bad is happening in the country is Nehru's fault, and before him, Akbar's and Aurangzeb's.

Blasphemy.
What do they think? That we are in some democracy where you can criticise or kick out elected officials every few years? The gall.
This sort of stuff doesn’t bother me much. Sanghis have always hated on nls. We’ll be just fine.

Some people

This tweet if true reflects the state of affairs in Indian academia.
Vote wisely guys.
This twitter account is trying to create a group so that all dominant narratives are appropriately countered and cancel culture is rooted out.
