The final fiasco in JNU saw a number of remarkable get-togethers. Hapless inheritors and parliamentary communists were in attendance. The second variety in particular is not exactly emblematic of freedom of thought. Higher education in West Bengal, during the communist regime, was hammered and sickled to mediocrity in the name of countering elitism.

The prison authorities are giving us good food but the other prisoners are being given very bad food. The prisoners are working for us like wage labourers. We are exempted from any work as we are the political prisoners. But later we told them that we ourselves can do the work of sweeping and cleaning. We are not made to stand in the queue while others are.

Trembling in their glasses
Fucking behind every door
Littering the gutters with three thousand condoms
Every day.

It’s BJP’s war to secure our universities as bastions of upper caste Hindu values. ‘Anti-national’ is merely a proxy term in this war.
