In my latest #TharoorThink column in the @IndianExpress, I discuss the government’s mishandling of the student protests this week and demand an urgent course correction. Our students should not be battered and bruised in the streets before their voices can be heard in Parliament.
Here is a premier public university of India threatening its students and faculty that being at Jantar Mantar could seriously impact their “academic progress and professional opportunities”!
The same University that is fighting a legal battle to hide the identity of its most illustrious student!
A 22-year-old Delhi University student is battling to save the vision in his right eye after suffering pellet-like injuries during the July 20 march to Parliament, his family says.
This is the fourth such reported injury linked to the protest, as questions continue to mount.

Breaking: Another Big Scandal
Modi Govt has replaced the Education Secretary who oversaw the NEET leak with IAS officer Naresh Pal Gangwar, whose wife, son and mother received a ₹1.16 crore subsidy from a board under his own department.
Corrupt Replaces the Corrupt
The ultimate farce! While the nation demands accountability for exam scams & paper leaks, Govt appoints Naresh Pal Gangwar as the new Higher Education Secretary!
This is the same IAS officer whose mother, wife & son collectively received over ₹1.16 crore in government subsidies under the National Horticulture Board scheme for “encouraging commercial crops” (cucumber cultivation). This the way PM ensuring accountability..
Appalling violence against an unarmed, youth-led civil disobedience movement in India.
Peaceful protestors were challenging the broken education system under the Modi government. They were met with tear gas and baton charges.
Solidarity with those demanding justice.
Wow! Our Honourable Courts have time to hear whether CJP is foreign funded (with ZERO evidence of this) but no time to watch videos of Monday’s violence against students? Said this before: STOP THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES, YUVA KI AAWAZ SUNO! 🙏
In Rajya Sabha today, Govt declared that between Apr 2025 to June 2026, they procured ethanol for E20 at an avg price of ₹70.27/L
Crude oil price is ₹45.31/L!
Did we get scammed? 😭🙏
The core tenets of the Modi government are Asatya and Hinsa.
The removal of Sonam Wangchuk ji from Jantar Mantar while he was on a non-violent hunger strike is wrong.
Paper leaks, the rising cost of education, and student suicides are critical issues for India’s future.
No amount of force can deter India’s students, and those of us who love and believe in them, from raising these issues.
