GNLU admin is complicit in the tragic demise of a brilliant third-year student. This ▮▮▮ culture of institutional apathy. ▮▮▮Students had to break down the door, lift his body, and rush him to the hospital on their own. GNLU failed ▮▮▮. GNLU failed all of us. This was a system built on apathy, and it cost a life.

This is deeply distressing and emblematic of the larger, systemic apathy that plagues NLU admins. Yes, NLUs are government institutions, but must their administrators embody the worst stereotypes of indifferent, bureaucratic red tape from the 1980s? Their blatant disregard for students' well-being is inexcusable. NLUs are meant to be sanctuaries of legal education. Instead, they have become sites of neglect, where students are pushed to the brink with no institutional support.

This year alone has seen an alarming number of student suicides, beginning with NLUD at the very start of the academic year. This isn’t just about compromising the future of the legal fraternity—it’s about basic human lives now. Something must be done. Now.

So much misinformation in one post. I was standing right outside his room along with the rest of the crowd (First Floor just so you believe me).

Firstly, the warden pushed open the door, not the students. Infact initially, it was Vansh's own friends who were pleading the warden to not break open the door since his body was right by it.

Secondly, it is so mean to say that it was the student community alone "scrambling to save his life" when it was literally SRMs private vehicle which was used to take him to the hospital.

Finally, he did not die because of 'criminal negligence'. He didn't die because he fell into a pothole in the campus or got electrocuted by a live wire, he died because he literally committed sucide. It can't be negligence when it's a case of fucking sucide. Read the law.

Having said that, yes, the nurse did not know how to properly perform CPR and yes, there is no permanent ambulance in the campus and these are all valid concerns which were raised before the registrar and were accepted by him.

Moreover, there were students during yesterday's Preamble saga who were literally trying to raise the absence of 'SAC' this semester as an issue before the Registrar, all while Vansh's friends were actually trying to raise a valid list of demands before the VC and Registrar.

All of this is extremely disheartening to see.

Couldn't agree more, the fifth years who were literally screaming and making all sorts of gesticulations were an absolute embarrassment and even disrespectful to ▮▮▮. They had no equanimity, didn't know how to talk and also, the fact that literally nobody asked them to put on this stupid theatrical show, you did't represent any of us. What happened was deeply unfortunate, the statement that was read out with the demands were reasonable but to go about it in this vile and vengeful manner was extremely unwarranted. Also, let's please also raise the issue of the increasing drug and alcohol abuse in hostels (something that was selectively left out of the statement).

The university has many problems and the protest was justified until it was commandeered by a horrifyingly unethical subset of students pushing SAC and mess food quality (?!?!) demands, shouting at the admin like that would do anything. These folks didn't even know ▮▮▮.

What's embarrassing is that this is the second damn time a student's death is being politicised to push an agenda. Fight for the SAC in its own time and space, damn you.

For outsiders reading this and wondering what the context is, let me try a simple recap.

One of our friends, a lovely bright and introverted third year, took an extreme step last week, plunging us into sadness. His demise followed months of therapy and personal issues, none of which should be relevant to the issue at hand. While people on site (students, friends, warden) did what they could, he could not be saved. This presented the need to discuss crucial lifesaving measures we can take to learn from this incident and save lives in the future.

Unfortunately, some seniors took this as a chance to weaponise a tragedy and put on a circque de soleil of drama and over the top theatric to posit students and admin against each other while conveniently forgetting to talk about the role they have had to play in inculcating a toxic and isolating environment in the hostels and outside.

Right now, even his friends are just playing sympathy card and trying to show dominance while they don’t know that people are just not saying anything because they think they are the victims. The other day, I saw they came very close to get beatings when they cursed some fifth year.

Very irresponsible comments here and very irresponsible moderation to allow them. The GNLU administration has its flaws, but it is still better administered than most NLUs. As one of the comments says, certain unethical students are politicising a tragedy to push their m agenda.
