The gist is that the Chief Proctor, Prof Sridhar Dabiru Patnaik, has suspended students for distributing a leftist magazine attacking Modi. It's obvious that this de facto ban has been carried out in the context of the 2024 elections. There is talk that elite law schools like NLUs and Jindal may become flashpoints in 2024. The is just a small preview of what's to come.

I personally believe there are two sides of the story. Certain Jindal students have a reputation for being very entitled, arrogant and disrespectful to their teachers, who they look down upon for not being as rich as them. I think we should hear the Chief Proctor’s version too.
Lastly, it is hypocritical for ultra-rich Jindal students to take up the cause of workers rights. If they are genuinely committed, they should leave Jindal and join a government college. Stop cosplaying as Marxists.

And this whole thing is a stunt. Everyone reads on the internet these days, no one reads hard copies of magazines. Your magazine is also available online. So why do you have to create a ruckus?
But also- if you say some people dont have a right to free speech because of historical actions of authoritative regimes- youre quite authoritarian too and you dont really understand the value of free speech.
