So let's get to the bottomline then: the smarter, the more erudite and the more credentialed VC you have, the better your NLU will do. It's a crying shame that some of our NLUs are stuck with VCs who don't even deserve to be headmasters of pathshalas. Some were thankfully removed after student protests, but many still remain.
Next time a VC vacancy opens up at an NLU, I hope the student bodies will actively work towards a merit-based appointment, as the NLSIU SBA did. The first step is a selection committee of eminent people, rather than lightweights and lackeys.

Sangita Jindal is from a Calcutta and member of a prominent business family. Despite JSW's close links with the TMC, especially their much hyped investment in Salboni; Bangalore despite the water woes takes the cake.
Three states were approached for the NLS project, including WB then under the much hyped Jyoti Basu. While he kept thinking, CM Hegde from Bangalore swooped in. Rest is history.
It is not just about NKC/NUJS ▮▮▮ et al. Something is seriously wrong in the Wasteland. And we didn't even have a Fallout!
Gen Z should understand who the enemy is and fight the enemy.
1000+ kids in a batch. No jobs for anyone.
BC Jindal, DP Jindal and OP Jindal were brothers. BC and DP made their money in Bengal/Kolkata and OP (dad of Naveen and Sajjan) in Haryana/Delhi. BC and DP’s descendants still operate from Bengal and live in Kolkata but their business is obviously much smaller than that of OP’s branch of the family. While a part of this is because of the decline in Bengal, it’s also true that OP and his kids donated heavily to the Congress and were helped by successive Congress governments. The gap became larger because of this. Of course, now they have shifted to the BJP.
