Featured and trollish at the same time. Someone show cause the mod.
Maybe he thought otherwise because there are comparable institutions like ISB existing now. For law, name one.
If the IIMC Professor had thought the same way, then he wouldn't have written (and published) his article. After all, being an old IIM, IIMC is one of the best places to study management. Isn't it?
They're also here because jobs are rare in humanities. JNU is rigorous but I'm not sure if Ashoka has more classes than NLS.
Which institution do NLUs 'pale in comparison with'? The point that has already been made above is that NLUs need a lot of improvement yet they remain the best places to study law at in India as on date. There does not exist any comparable institution.
Humanities don't solve real world problems, STEMs do.

That's the point that I was making. Those universities have got resources, but hardly any good scholar. What should have been done is to put visionary people in charge of those places and give them the freedom to operate.
Government of India doesn't have very high functioning brains. They've established NFSU and central universities but you can't find any distinguished people working there.
This is quite prominent in NLS under Sudhir now. He has hired a lot of good humanities faculties who are very uncomfortable being in the current position where the subjects are seen as useless but they're here after degrees from Oxbridge, JNU etc.

Yes, state NLUs face both identity and existential crises. Downvotes don't change anything. NLU faculty members do not dare to admit this publicly (unlike the IIMC's Prof. Ramendra).
