HNLU doesn't deserve "National Law University" tag in its name.
Our money is going into pockets of corrupt administration and incompetent faculties who are enjoying their life at the expense of our career.
You take steps to bring change in HNLU, I will also be part of all your change movements.
This faculties are stupid. They have increased the strength of the university to just mint money. Not bothered what will happen to quality of students brooding out.
We should also challenge their admission under NRI quotas.
Instead of just FLASH, let us do THUNDER STRIKE. I will be part of it.
Need some action like this instead of FLASH. Do you fools consider yourself high than NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS, NLIU, NLU Jodhpur, GNLU or RGNLU.
Do you think Flash Mob makes change in society. There are so many burning issues. Give me name of your lead students I will invite them to do Flash Mob all over India... Keep on doing let us how much change you people bring in the society.
Few years ago there was a trend in hnlu that the faculty appointment were made after demo classes in front of students and after their suggestions. Why don't you people start that trend.
Btw about the flash mob thing, i dont see anything bad in it if you are doing it for good. It makes you express yourself. I could see how narrow you people have become if your taking education just to put it in your cv and that somebody could see it and make you slave then afraid my dear friend you are defeating the true purpose of education. The purpose of education is to build your character and personality not just to face an interview or just to do tasks assigned by your boss. The true purpose of education is to make you stand on your feet and make you competent enough to face the challenges not only professionally but personally as well.
