Re: Indian university expels 130 Kashmiris for celebrating Pakistan’s victory
Word
Thank you for posting this link. Per the article, there were clashes between local students and Kashmiri students with former the aggressors. To me there is NO ROOM FOR VIOLENCE. So the aggressors were wrong. And should be SUSPENDED indefinitely.
The Kashmiris cheering for Pak is fine. After the game, they shouted Pakistan Zindabad. Considering the emotion involved in this game, it was poor juddgment on their part. I am not a legal scholar. But bad things are bound to happen if such slogans are shouted in a crowd of Indian students after an emotional game where some disputes occurred between the sections.
Would I have cared? Absolutely not. It is game, damn it. Just a game. But folks make it about patriotism.
The University authorities were WRONG TO ask for identities of students who shouted Pakistan zindabad. They were wrong to call that bad conduct punishable by indefinite suspension.
The Kashmiris were right in Not giving up identities.
Last para says kashmiris were glad authorities provided safe passage.
Let us hope common sense prevails. And the students reinstated. And the aggressors punished.

Looks like world’s largest democracy and self proclaimed secular nation is not taking its PR image seriously enough these days. In a matter of few weeks, they managed to generate two massively embarrassing (or shocking - depending on how much you know about India) controversies: first the Penguin book ban/recall incident and now the slapping of Kashmiri students with sedition charges.
Oh dear oh dear.
But at least I appreciate Indian posters for not acting like psychopathic wrist slitters like their Pakistani counterparts and disowning their country and indulging in extreme levels of self hating. What’s say Acharaya Southie, can we borrow your services for Pakistan Affairs for few days? Please.

Couple of my Kashmiri friends..celebrated Pakistan's victory..so this is not something new actually. But they shouldn't have been expelled or whatever. It is just a game. I mean..Pakistan loses as well...
