Regarding the ongoing student protests in India:
I rarely speak about politics, not because I'm afraid or indifferent, but because I've lost faith that any political party truly stands with students when it matters most.
This isn't about politics. It's about students.
I was a JEE aspirant while many of my friends prepared for NEET. I know what that journey feels like years of sacrifice, living away from family, missing festivals, and putting life on hold for a single dream. These exams aren't built on one or two years of preparation; they're built on years of hope.
And no matter who is involved, violence is never the answer. When students who have already carried the weight of countless sacrifices are met with fear, force, or chaos, everyone loses. No cause is strengthened when humanity is forgotten.
Whatever your political views, please look beyond the headlines. Behind every student is a story of hard work, sacrifice, and a future they're trying to protect.
Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
