One of the courses had a JNU professor who was an avowed atheist, Naxal Sympathiser and a council member of a Leftist party.
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
The other students were stunned, & sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the soldier & asked, "What in the world is the matter with u? Why did you do that?
The classroom erupted in cheers!
