The VC of the Banaras Hindu University, Mr. G.C. Tripathi is a dyed-in-the-wool RSS man, with no discernible talent or aptitude to be appointed to the post of Vice-Chancellor of this once upon a time, quite a prestigious center of learning. And true to form, he is faithfully trying to implement the agenda of his masters by turning this campus into a fiefdom of reactionary politics. Whether it's the BHU, AMU, JNU or DU, there will never be a new India that Modijee so passionately talks about, unless the young people on the university campuses are left to their own devices as free thinkers, and allowed to make their own independent choices, even if it means making wrong choices. That's what real liberty is all about, give them rational education and let them make their way into the world.
