We have all seen how the college has been tilting rightward in recent months and how left-wing voices on campus have been silenced. We may be teenagers but we are not fools. We knew the gameplan all along. The VC must stop hiding and tell us if JGLS will henceforth guarantee FOE to voices critical of Modi and Hindutva. Also, if right-wing students who indulge in hooliganism will go unpunished.
It's hardly a surprise. This has been happening gradually since 2019. Just that it has accelerated in the past few months, with Naveen's BJP ticket being the peak. I have no doubt he will win.
Yes, it was known all along that this would happen. Rajkumar fired warning shots like hiring RW people, punishing Sameena Dalwai, suspending the RSG students from campus, setting up the India Institute with Chaulia at the helm and freezing expansion in social sciences and expanding only in STEM, via new schools dedicated to medicine and engineering. Rajkumar is only executing orders received from the top.
Silly argument. Mr. Naveen Jindal in Congress or BJP or joins CPI or simply resigns from politics makes no difference at JGLS and Jindal Global University. He's a chancellor like a visitor in Govt universities. He has no role at all in the day to day functioning of University or law school.
LFMAO!!! You think Naveen has no role in the functioning of JGLS??? Are you actually from JGLS??? Bro, it was his decision to mindlessly expand the intake to make πŸ’΅πŸ’΅πŸ’΅. Now he has realised that a humanities-heavy college means too many woke Modi haters, so he wants an expansion in STEM only and will make Jindal Medical School the showpiece of JGU.
curious onlooker here. what was the campus scenareo pre 2014 when UPA was in power and Naveen Jindal was in the Congress???
Prior to 2014, and for some years after, JGLS was heavily pro-Congress. Every other day there was some Congress person visiting Jindal for a talk. Shashi vbttttTharoor must have visited JGLS at least 25-30 times and President Pranab Mukherjee spoke at many Jindal events. He even hosted a Jindal event at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Even just a few years ago AM Singhvi donated 2 cr to JGLS. Also, tons of children of Congress politicians and pro-Congress lawyers studied here (also TMC, DMK etc).

However, in the past 1-2 years or so, as it’s become clear that Modi will rule till 2029 and maybe even 2034, a clear shift has taken place.
The bigger worry for you is the departure of all the decent professors. I heard many of them are planning to move to SNU Chennai.
Calls for a sovereign nation to defend itself from Islamic terror (i know i know, same old villain in every movie) is not the same as call for genocide.

Youll realise that when the weakass country you wokes are creating is going to be ripe for the taking from all the Islamic cauldrons neighbouring us and waiting to pounce on us.
Who on the right called for that? We are not the from-the-river-to-the-sea gang, you guys are.
lol - it seems you had no problem so long as he was part of the Congress. Suddenly, FoE will be quashed, hooligans will be unleashed and he will destroy his own University?
RW students have not been indulging in hooliganism.

On the contrary, it’s the left wing student who jumped off the university gate. It is the left wing students who conduct talks without permission.
