"While wins are important, what is more important is finding a cause that inspires people."

#JNU has been hijacked by a cabal of leftist professors with vested interests. The staff room needs fumigation. Remember, it took three generations of genius to build a conqueror.

Socrates taught Plato.
Plato taught Aristotle.
Aristotle tutored Alexander.

It took wisdom of three pioneers of many a modern subjects, to make Alexander a continent conquering force. #JNU is a premier research university with a formidable and illustrious alumni network.

We need not guillotine a giant for a gangrene in the pinky toe. The government must retire such professors considering JNU is public funded and India does not support what #JNUProtests have become. I present a case study by Shanon Jenkins on La Trobe university, Melbourne.

#JNU was established in 1969 with the intention of creating not just any other university but one that creates new faculties, including scientific socialism & to ensure that noble ideas were kept in mind & to provide accessibility to students from weaker sections of society.
"Indian School of International Studies" merged with JNU in June 1970. After the merger, the prefix "Indian" was dropped & it became the "School of International Studies" of the #JNU.

Nehru's name remained, but "Indian" in the name was too much for them?
#JNU is known to have deep ties with the Communist party & hence has the reputation of an "unruly bastion of Marxist revolution." Student activists claim that the politics at JNU is issue-based & intellectual.

However, it seems otherwise.

Why exactly BJP IT cell hates @Shehla_Rashid and trending #arrestShehlaRashid

1. She was the first #Kashmiri girl to win #JNUSU elections with maximum votes in that year.
2. Shehla-Kanhaiya duo lead #OccupyUGCMovement against scraping of UGC fellowship leading to transfer of the then MHRD minister @smritiirani to Textile.
3. When @kanhaiyakumar dubiously got arrested, she successfully lead the movement for the release of all JNU students.
