In a startling revelation, our sources have claimed that the frequent clashes and issues that keep arising out of the JNU or Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi are not something new or in fact out of the ordinary. The problem stems from the fact that the JNU is not a University of Learning and the teaching element is just a sham to attract a certain type of student to the campus. The latest issue of clashes between 2 student unions over non-veg being served and a havan being conducted on the occasion of Ram Navami is just one of the many flashpoints on campus recently.
Our highly placed source within the management of JNU told us the details on the strict promise of anonymity. She claims that from the mid-1970 the purpose of the university was clearly defined and it was markedly different from the original intention when JNU was established in 1969. The JNU was established to keep noble ideas in mind and provide accessibility to students from weaker sections of society. Most of the students who study at the JNU are on scholarships and discounted fees which have further aggravated the section of society who believes that the students are wasting taxpayer money.
Despite having highly accomplished alumni, the university is facing an existential crisis where nothing noteworthy has come out of the campus for a very long time. Once an epicentre of thought and ideas, the whole campus is now just a breeding ground for unchecked political ideologies claim noted academics and teachers.
"See, when the JNU was established in 1969, the biggest internal issue that the country was facing was the growth of the militant left or what was known as Naxalites or Maoists. The influence they had on the youth at that time was uncanny. We as a nation are required to somehow contain this threat without resorting to detention centres or jails as this would put us on the same footing as Nazi Germany. The central government under Indira Gandhi who also held the Home Ministry portfolio took an important decision that changed JNU forever," said our source.
We asked her if she had proof for all this but she denied having any evidence for her statements. "These are all passed on from one office bearer to another and nothing can ever be written down or shared with an outsider. However, I am breaking this decades-old rule for the sake of my country."
