Very informative article and of relevance to both NLUs and Jindal. The question to ask is: will NLUs/Jindal, in an effort to cosy up to the BJP, dump humanities courses/professors and replace BALLB with BBA LLB/BSc LLB? Will law firms also demand “de-woking” of law schools by dropping humanities and replacing with accountancy, finance, maths, coding etc?
Honestly speaking, I support the Ashoka founders. See what the article also says, beyond the clickbait headline:
"Some say that there was no diversity in the hirings, creating a liberal and left echo chamber over time. "
"An Ashoka insider alluded to subtle practices employed to exclude right-wing academics."
This is nothing but woke intolerance. Fringe and dangerous far-left ideology is prioritised. JNU and Jadavpur have become a dump for this reason. There is actually graffiti glorifying Stalin and Mao on the JNU campus.
Which Right Wing state university in this country currently enjoys a better global ranking in this country compared to JU exactly? You keep watching the Noida tv channels and that's the blinkered worldview that you will have.
