As a premier national institute of humanities JNU is supposed to-

-Build a new narrative of our history from original sources free from the dictats & biases of Western universities

-Rigorously preserve & publish 100s of 1000s of priceless, decaying Indic & Gandharan manuscripts

-Painstakingly reconstruct the hoary & abandoned history of pre-Buddhist India from the vast Vedic texts to destroy all forms of AIT/AMT

-Engage in rigorous cutting edge, scientific archaeology to empirically validate ancient textual data on the Indus and Gangetic civilization

-Critically re-examine western history & expose its inconsistencies of sources & absurdities in its self aggrandizing claims if found

-Sincerely study ancient Indian philosophical, mathematical & scientific texts to firmly establish their primacy against prevailing Eurocentirism

But what exactly are the accomplishments of this institution after all these decades?

I have seen IITs do laudable service to Indian humanities in the above broad directions than JNU ever did.
