This is incredible news! Last time you saw an NLU SBA setting apart placement rivalries and supporting another NLU SBA was in the pre-Covid 2010s. There was a wave of NLU student protests during that period, with almost 12 NLUs protesting against their VCs in a span of 3-4 years. One of the hallmarks of those protests was cross-NLU support, with each NLU SBA offering a letter of solidarity to the other. Unfortunately, several factors led to this phenomenon dying down, such as:
1. Covid
2. A new generation of students with a different mindset. Some students were more interested in fighting woke culture wars than fighting for administrative transparency.
3. NLSIU SBA selfishly dissociating itself from other NLUs, following Sudhir's reforms and the Karnataka HC judgement holding that only NLSIU is a national institution (which NLSIU alum ASG Vikramjit Banerjee had selfishly argued before the court).
4. Death of LI and change in attitude of BB. In those days, LI used to be a news site and BB used to be an honest and pro-student news site (unlike now, where BB has blacked out news of the NUJS student petition against the VC and news of corruption in other NLUs). LI and BB used to regularly publish campus news and take a pro-student perspective Different SBAs also leaked news to LI and BB, and there was a competition between LI and BB on who would get the scoop first! Sadly, this died when Kian quit this space.
So it's a welcome change seeing GNLU trying to revive the era of inter-NLU solidarity. But fingers crossed on whether this will stay. 🤞
Do you see NKC flinching? Have those construction tenders been revoked or scrutinized? What about those in the pipeline? What about the recruitment spree? Any pause and inquiry? What about those inquiry reports that the EC itself initiated in 2018-20? More importantly, what about EC, FC, AC and GC minutes and agenda notes since NKC took over in 2019 to date; have those been uploaded?
Cna you get the media yapping on these? Or even the fact that certain "concerned students' from NLU Lucknow and Jodhpur have keyed in their distant solidarity? By the way what about NLU Allahabad and those NLUs whose VCs are members of NUJS' EC?
By the way, NKC and Co are still playing old tricks. EC minutes exist till Dec 2023. AC till somewhere in 2022. FC is stuck somewhere in 2019 and GC in 2018. And that's just the minutes and not the agenda notes.
Will the SJA do something meaningful about this or back off because the Prez has been targeted and the teach are playing mind tricks and scare tactics with Day Zero stuff?
In the interest of fairness, why not publish that email alongside the SJA petition to CJI/EC members and the "solidarity statements" from the "concerned students" of GNLU, NLU Lucknow and Jodhpur.
If all that is alleged by the complainant is "false" then what explains this panic reaction. Ofc there are faculty members who would volunteer "loyalty" and then do what they did to PIB.
Then again, why no faculty/staff support for the complainant? Not as gullible as the students?
