No thanks, I will pass.

Not surprised. Thinking is not a habit in India but regurgitation is. Every call centre is an example.
Hello this is Simon speaking.....

Media is now the really sickular, presstitutes doing paada-seva of RSS-BJP terrorists. The Godse lovers, the Virat Hindu with his trishul ready to unleash against minorities and others, must be crushed for the sake of this nation. Hey, Virat Hindu, living in a RSS Camp filled with hatred for infidels, dreaming of India washed with the blood of Kufar (Muslims, Christians, Jews etc), Understand India's fate is never going to be RSS India, rather it will be secular and democratic India devoid of RSS terror. Do whatever you can, India is not something you slaves of terrorists like Golwalkar or Savarkar can take over and destroy.

When a Martyr's daughter speaks up against ABVP Gundaraj.
Our Chaddi Journalist thinks, Opposing ABVP goons is Anti National.

"Rofl Gandhi"???

Gurmehar Kaur lost her father Captain Mandeep Singh in the 1999 Kargil War.

NEW DELHI: She spoke her mind on the attacks on Delhi University students in a 140-word Facebook post and a picture put out hours after the ABVP activists clashed with Ramjas College students this week. Three days later, the Kargil martyr daughter's social media campaign to protest the "tyranny of fear" unleashed at Delhi University has gone viral.

Over 20 students were injured on Wednesday when ABVP activists clashed with students protesting the Ramjas College cancelling its invite to JNU's Umar Khalid - one of the students charged with sedition last year - for a seminar.

Later in the evening, Lady Sri Ram College student Gurmehar Kaur, posted her message and a profile picture holding a handwritten placard that read: "I am a student from Delhi University. I am not afraid of ABVP. I am not alone. Every student of India is with me. #StudentsAgainstABVP".

Gurmehar lost her father Captain Mandeep Singh in the 1999 Kargil War. She was only two, and, as she once put it, "grew up hating Pakistan and Pakistanis". At six, she tried to stab a woman in a burqa "because of some strange reason I thought she was responsible for my father's death".

That is when her mother made her understand that it was not Pakistan, but the war that killed her dad.

In her post, she called the brutal attack on innocent students by ABVP very disturbing.

"It was not an attack on protesters, but an attack on every notion of democracy that is held dear in every Indian's heart. It is an attack on ideals, morals, freedom and rights of every person born to this nation," the 20-year-old literature undergraduate said on Facebook.


The brutal attack on innocent students by ABVP is very disturbing and should be stopped. It was not an attack on protestors, but an attack on every notion of democracy that is held dear in ever Indian's heart. It is an attack on ideals, morals, freedom and rights of every person born to this nation. The stones that you pelt hit our bodies, but fail to bruise our ideas.
This profile picture is my way of protesting against the tyranny of fear. If you are a student in any Indian university, in any Indian state and you wish to protest against ABVP then take a similar selfie and make it your profile picture. Use the hashtag #StudentsAgainstABVP and copy paste this message along with it.
It's time for every student of India to unite! Jai Hind! Jai Democracy!

#StudentsAgainstABVP

"The stones that you pelt hit our bodies, but fail to bruise our ideas. This profile picture is my way of protesting against the tyranny of fear," she added in the post.

The voices of support started pouring in soon enough. Thousands shared her post, many showed their support by replacing their profile picture with a photograph holding a placard similar to hers.

There were abuses as well. One said she hadn't understood what her father had died for. Someone else called her an anti-national too.

She responded to this one: "Do we fight for 'anti-nationals'? No! What is our fight for? Students. Our right to free speech and safe academic spaces!"

The clash on Wednesday erupted over an invite to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid to speak at a seminar on 'Culture of Protests' which was withdrawn by the college authorities following opposition by the ABVP.

Junior home minister Mr Kiren Rijiju has, however, insisted that "No anti-India slogans" would be allowed in the name of freedom of speech. "Freedom of expression in the country does not give anyone the right to make college campuses hub of anti-national activity," he said.

My open letter to Gurmehar Kaur

Dear Gurmehar Kaur,

These days a Facebook post from you has gone viral. In that Facebook post you have commented on the recent events at Ramjas college. I am writing this open letter in response to your post.

Before I begin I would like to make two things absolutely clear. First I have a great respect for the sacrifices that your father and thousands of others like him have made in the service of the nation. No words can suffice to express the gratitude and respect I have for him and the institution he served – the Indian Armed Forces. Second I condemn all violence that happened in the Ramjas college – whether it was done by ABVP or the Left-Wing students. Violence is not the answer in a discourse

Coming to my main point. You are trying to defend the freedom of speech of people like Umar Khalid. Your Father sacrificed his life fighting the Pakistanis and terrorists and here you are siding with people who are shouting “Bharat Tere Tukde Honge”. “Kashmir Maange Azaadi”, “Bastar Maange Azaadi”.

Do you realize that in the eyes of Umar Khalid and his comrades the institution in which your father served is an occupying army? The men that your father fought against (men like Afzal Guru and Burhan Wani) are NOT terrorists but heroes and “Freedom Fighters”.

If you think that these thoughts of Umar Khalid and others are correct; logically your father was wrong and his sacrifice was in vain.

It is your democratic right to think in this way but in my humble opinion this is a sad state of affairs.

In a previous video, you said that your mother told you “It was not Pakistan, but the war that killed your dad.” I wish you had asked her “Why did the war start?” It was not your father that crossed the LoC and occupied the mountains. It was Pakistan that did it and caused the war that martyred your father. If Pakistan is not responsible, then is it your opinion that the Indian Army should have just let Pakistan occupy those mountains and send in more terrorists who may one day have attacked you at your hometown?

What you are unable to understand is that it is because of the sacrifices of your father and thousands of other martyrs like him that the people you are supporting are freely able to shout these anti-national slogans. It is a democratic country and this freedom of expression is possible only in a democracy which in turn is enriched and protected by your father’s blood.

In the end I would like to say that if you want to oppose ABVP for their violence and political positions you are free to do so. However please do not desecrate your father’s memory by siding with likes of Umar Khalid who does not value your father’s sacrifice for this great nation.

Jai Hind

Yours Truly

Which are the companies queing up to take the graduates from these universities?

Google? Facebook? Flipkart? Snapdeal? Dabur? Tata? Big Bazar?

I did not see any list of companies in the placement website of JNU
http://www.jnu.ac.in/Facilities/PlacementCell/default.htm

The reason is simple. Why will any company take a jholawallah graduate from a university who will not do any work but will go on strike and dharna at the slightest thing.



You wont see any bhakt defending him. If he has links with ISI he should be locked up in jail and the key thrown away.

Infact it is the MP police upder the BJP govt which has arrested him. So we have no sympathies for him

So you think education is for job????

 

[Hindustani78]

You really need to open you mind and then use your brain. Wars happen for reasons. Here Kargil happened for one reason and one reason only. Kashmir. This mess was deliberately left by the British because they knew we on the subcontinent would fight over this for generations and they would sell us both weapons to kill each other.
This young lady understands war is wrong. Dialogue is the way forward. Pakistan and Pakistanis didn't kill her father. Politicians did. Soldiers don't hate each other. They do their duty and people sitting at home have bragging rights but it's only the poor soldier that die. So please try to reason with your brain as opposed to typing with your emotion

Great Game . Those tactics are coming in open and Indian nation is aware how many innocents lost thier lifes.

 

[sherin616]

It's sad India came to a position where right wing hindu's dictate nationalism
they reserve the right to judge who is good and bad
like the period before ww2 and holocaust

So you think education is for job????

Yes. You should get educated so that you can get a good job and support your family and contribute to the nation.

Unless you want to be shameless leaches like "Ph.D. Scholars" of university like JNU who keep on "studying" till 28-30 years and enjoying free ka maal from tax payer
