JNU Unrest

“Before I react to few of those posts on my FB wall or WhatsApp group, I wanted to understand the issue. I did some self-study based on publications and discussions in the national media (here are the pointers below). One conclusion I draw – this hype can have been contained in a smaller scale – the govt./country may have to pay a heavy price for the same. The greater issue lies in forcing an agenda in the university campus by ruling elite to counter the leftist ideology. I wish, our media could have given more time on the Make-In-India week, with debates and discussions rather JNU coverage. I hope, from this churning, some Amrit  may come to understand what is the true meaning of "nationalism". And, I would like to be a patriot, rather a nationalist. There is a huge difference between these two”.

P.S: I would like to add any argument or article on this topic to be more informed
