On the one hand the government of
India wants to create centers of
excellence in higher education sector and I assume that, the purpose of the
government is that, as in western universities we want to train our educated
youth in analytical skill, logical
reasoning power, free thinking capacity and sharpening of their intellectual
capacity through questioning minds . What are they supposed to do with all these
skills if they can not question any action of the government or rules which go against fundamental rights or human rights or against the interests of marginalised
sections of the population or even against
students interests through non violent, legally permitted and peaceful
protests ? If they are intimidated through attack by police , arresting and framing
criminal charges and projecting them as anti nationals with links with
terrorists resulting in disruption of their academic life and future carrier
life, a scare is created in their minds which will turn them into mute spectators of all types injustice happening around them . If we convert our youth into such a civil
society , it will be a back boneless society . Do we want such an India in
future filled with docile population or a dynamic society acting as watch dogs of democracy ?
