Repeated Attacks on JU Expose ABVP’s ‘Poverty of Imagination and Ideology’: Teachers
Subhankar Chowdhury | 22 August 2026 | The Telegraph
The back-to-back attacks on Jadavpur University by the RSS’s student wing, the ABVP, reflect a “poverty of imagination and ideology”, a JU teacher said a day later.
Several teachers alleged that the violence was part of an organised attempt to impose a stranglehold on what they described as an open and hospitable campus.
For some, the attacks were also an attempt to discredit a university that has delivered stellar performances nationally over the years despite the odds.
