There was a piece of disturbing news that came from   JNU   in Delhi. Masked men and women who were armed with sticks and stones, they beat students and teachers and vandalized property at the university. The mob also attacked a team of doctors and nurses that went to JNU to give first-aid to students and broke the windows of their ambulance. The attack has left 34 people injured.  The campus had been tense for a few months as one section of students had been protesting against the sharp increase in   hostel fees   by the university authorities. Even if somebody disagrees with the ideology of JNU students or any other university,   violence   is not a solution. There should be no place for violence in a democratic and civilized society.

Whether the  fee-hike issue  was justified or not is another debate. However, the panic created by t...

NPR is not a new exercise, it has also taken place in 2010 and 2015, but there’s a fear this time.  NPR  is a register of population, a register of people living at a specific place for a period of a minimum 6 months. It doesn’t matter if the person is a citizen or not. But the NRC is a register of citizens only.  People are confused if this data is going to be used for the  nationwide NRC  about which many ministers of the union government have said previously on various occasions.

But after the nation witnessed protest against  CAA-NRC  in many cities, the govt kind of backstepped a little and started saying that there is no discussion on NRC till now from the time they attained power in the union.
