Corporates question students on sedition

Even as the BJP-led government has been hesitating to go the whole hog on the intolerance debate and Central universities spearheading the seditious views, corporate India has put its foot down, telling university students that education is its corporate social responsibility and it is providing funds for education for sincere study by students and not playing politics. Former CFO of Infosys Mohandas Pai has in a letter to Central universities students pointed out that the corporates were putting their monies for education for study alone and not for their playing politics. Saying higher education as such was being hijacked, Mohandas urged the students to keep off politics at least till they completed their education. The former corporate chief deplored the education field for undergoing dissensions on the basis of caste, creed and region. Mohandas was much pained by happenings in the JNU which had given lots of intellectuals to society. How could the students undermine the very society that was fostering them, he wondered. They cannot raise slogans against the very society, of which they were part. The opposition parties were using the students for their own intolerance ends. He specifically questioned Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi as to how he could support the studetns who have gone astray by repeatedly visiting and encouraging them. At this rate of functioning by the Central universities, including Jawaharlal Nehru University, the corporates might not fund higher education. Students of prestigious institutions are sucking up to rank traitors such as Afzal Guru and Yakub Memon. Together the two terrorists have accounted for hundreds of innocent Indian lives in Mumbai, Delhi and elsewhere. Is that higher education? India wonders.
