Even if they haven’t achieved anything. Even if they are sitting at home doing nothing. What is your point? Shut down a university because we have so many alternatives where we can send our kids to. Do you know the cut off for class 12 is 100 percent in du. Why? Coz we don’t have enough educational institutions. And here people are saying close down a university. A university. Not a college. Shut down a university coz it Has no real achievements? And these are the same people for whom real achievements would be toeing a certain line and keeping their mouth shut. Tell the government to open a university with 10% of the history, values and culture as JNU before it asks its minions to suggest closing it. Maybe that university will survive unlike the substitute trees of aarey which died in 5 days.

Ah, here come the personal attacks.

You have comprehension issues ? Did I ask anything to be closed down ?

Remove the elements that are creating problem for other students with their 'protests'.

You are assuming that I am a supporter of RSS-BJP or Modi-Shah. I am not.

It is just that leftist and communist thugs are just too disgusting entities.

Which ones participated in the 'protests' ?

These protests are actually creating obstacles in the way of creating more Kumar's and Nayaks.

No, it is facilitating the students of our country to come out of their bookish knowledge and experience real Indian society where each opinion is valued, where pluralism/secularism is celebrated. This way they will be able to understand the Indian political system in a much better way, dealing with current Police, diplomats beaurocrats, lawyers which will make them more confident and prepare for any issue they might face tomorrow.

The IPS from JNU today will understand how not to attack students and how to handle dissent/protest of future students, a politician from JNU today will allocate more money to make education free tomorrow. You learn from your experiences and JNU is s experience for every student there. A student from the most backward village of Bihar who is so shy in the first year, becomes a confident educated and enlightened young man in JNU.

I said “here people” are saying. I didn’t say you are saying. A lot of people before you had said the university should be closed down. I should have been more clear about that. I quoted your post because I wanted to address your question about real achievements. There are a lot of colleges in India specially medical and engineering colleges (nukkad vale) whose alumni have no achievements except a degree they can hang on the wall. Those still exist coz there’s a demand. So i don’t see why we need to pick on JNU and its alumni’s achievements.

Will this not affect her movie?? What if they ban the movie?

I haven’t followed much of what’s going on in India recently, but this takes guts on her part to do this. She’s risking her career.

I am gonna go watch this movie first day. 😊

Studying is not being bookish.

Communism-leftist ideology and ideas like pluralism/secularism are mutually exclusive.

The leftist-communist ideology is a grave threat to India. And if Modi-Shah can tackle them then so be it.

Celebrities in the film industry are made or created by the public. They are not politicians, academics or experts in social issues and laws, furthermore they make their living by taking on "roles" meaning they take on characters assigned or assumed, enhanced and made up.

I do not know why people/public at large look to them as models or paragons of virtue in socio political issues. When a lot of them do not have expert knowledge of the issues.

Yes they can have a personal opinion or they can pick a side that they support and as citizens of a country they can voice this opinion with freedom. Just like they can choose NOT to voice their opinion. Staying quiet or neutral IS also a right. Basically is their personal choice. Why do people insist on forcing them?

For me the well being of a nation and its people always comes first, I do not approve of violence and destruction of either public or private property in any shape or form, not from any side, and for sure I do not approve of people being attacked or harmed. If I have to pick a side then I am a nationalist first and foremost, common well being is a priority. I look at personal agenda or financial gain and judge people based on why they are motivated to take certain action and that is the credibility I give them. Some have none.

I hope that Deepika will try to be a mediator between both sides, that IS the best role a celebrity can take when there is violent public unrest and initiate dialog and equanimity. I hope that celebrities will try to calm emotions NOT rile up either side with chants of violence. But that they will sugest calm, DIALOG and the law, even if the people need to change the law. For a democracy to work it has to be enforced.

Her taking a political side does not make me approve of her more or less, if she puts out a film I find entertaining I will watch it, and will for the 1 and 1/2 to 2 hour period it lasts, watch it and judge her performance according to how I was entertained, nothing more.

For politics I will read and based on my own personal needs and opinion vote or be active. An actor will NEVER influence my political choices or behabior. I do give her respectt for having the spine to openly pick a side, that means a person is honest as a citizen, and not just shooting off from the confort behind a computer/microphone or manipulatig in the dark to create social chaos to benefit their agenda.

I will bash them when they openly lie or call them out for bad behavior and manipulation for personal gain and I am impressed or willing to support celebrities when it is social charity or neutral work that benefits EVERYONE; like opening hospitals, schools, centers for active direct assistance or public awareness on illness and issues that are beyond political choices and affects all of us at a human level...etc.

Are you equating JNU with Nukkad colleges ? Don't people hold JNU to higher standards ? Achievers don't waste time time in mindless protests.

The correct way to tackle the fee hike issue would have been to create a list of students who were economically weak and elaborate how even a small fee hike would affect them. Instead these leftist-communist enitities hold the whole university to ransom.? Is their not a single intelligent person in JNU or is everybody like Kanhaiya Kumar ?
