After the electrifying speech of Kanhaiya, Indian media has already declared him “Student of the Year”. Odes are sung, eulogies are prepared, op-eds are written. However, during this whole JNU episode, people are again raising the argument which they raised during FTII controversy, which questioned, “till what age should the state fund education of students?” Another interesting argument is that if Kanhaiya’s parents are very poor and Kanhaiya can earn to uplift them, should he not also focus on earning his livelihood instead of just wasting his time in protests and dharnas.
Vijay started a poll on Twitter, asking, “What were you doing when you were 28?”. The poll has gone viral. People are not only voting but also sharing their experiences. Some of our readers requested us to compile and share these stories. We have picked some of the tweets and responses on his poll:
