But remember that OpIndia and similar RW sites have targeted Jindal profs too. There have been multiple cases where RW students secretly recorded "anti-national" lectures by JGLS professors and leaked them online. So why are only Ashoka profs quitting? Is it because:
- The admin at Jindal is more supportive?
- Naveen Jindal's clout?
-Jindal has an "insurance policy" where children of politicians/IAS officers of all hues study on scholarships, so they are safe from raids etc?
- Jindal has a few RW profs too, which gives them immunity?
- Ashoka only offers liberal arts, which is an inherently LW field and more dangerous to the state compared with law?
Nonsense. You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Jindal profs aren’t resigning on the spot - but at least one professor who was targeted recently made an exit and never intends to come back. The admin did not stick by its professors academic freedom. They tried as much as possible to make profs toe the line , even threatening profs with their jobs should they misbehave, and then they sent in guards and disrupted an event, and then they collaborated with the police to put foreign faculty in a dangerous situation. Forget academic freedom in events like that- admin does censure professors for saying the wrong political thing in classes when students complain- it’s disgusting.
Most of the privileged kids don’t care to use their privilege for good. They’d rather complain to their parents about strict teachers and try and get them fired.
Naveen Jindal and his admin are not as ideologically driven as you think - they’re all about survival.
You must be living in a bubble to think any of what you have written is true.
I can’t understand why liberals are having such a meltdown . The professor was not sacked, he voluntarily resigned. Ashoka is a private university, so no question of the government sacking him. Let’s also focus on the paper. The argument is nonsensical. No one is being deliberately disenfranchised. What about the many BJP supporters who have voting rights in their home state but live and work elsewhere and thus cannot vote? Can I say that they are being disenfranchised because online voting is not allowed? 🤔
Modi won because the people support him, or at least see him as a better option compared to Rahul, Mamata, Lalu etc.
Jindal is a much better employer compared to Ashoka or any private univ in India when it comes to faculty salary, research grants, traveling grants, perks like furnished houses, etc. Of course it's complete academic freedom to both faculty and students
Few people get frustrated after few years because Sonipat is a small town and it can't provide you the life of a metro.

Modi didn't have the popular mandate, just more than anyone else. And what he's done with that mandate in the last decade is horrible.
