The author of the article claims that he studied in JNU
A magazine associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Panchajanya, has called the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) a "huge anti-national block which has the aim of disintegrating India."
The RSS is the ideological mentor of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
To bolster its allegations against the JNU, the Panchajanya claims in its cover article that the university's "pro-Naxal students' unions" openly celebrated the killing of 75 security personnel in a Maoist ambush in Chhattisgarh in 2010. The article says "JNU routinely hosts anti-national activities."
In another article, the magazine alleges that JNU is an "institute where nationalism is considered an offence. Presenting Indian culture in a distorted way is common. The removal of Army from Kashmir is supported here. They advocate various other anti-national activities here."
The university established in 1969 by an Act of Parliament, is accused of "providing legitimacy to anti-India forces."
"Jawahar Lal Nehru promoted higher educational and research institutions as factories of socialist ideology which could provide the intellectual input for his and later Indira Gandhi's social and economic agenda," the article says.
The author of the article claims that he studied in JNU. "I often heard JNU professors discuss means and measures to undermine national unity and culture at events organized by anti-national organizations. I then realized that JNU is home to a large chunk of anti-national groupings which have the singular aim of disintegrating India," he says.
The publication says JNU's "tendency" of relying on the state for resources "is nothing but capitalism masquerading as socialism and even Maoism."
"These tendencies are inspired by two things - bitterness for Hindus and an urge to break India. These things became possible due to two historical reasons. The first was the desire of Nehru and his successors to impose state-run model of economy on India and two, Nehru's proximity to the Soviet Block.
"But when the Soviet Block disintegrated, a new political thought emerged in institutions like JNU which started changing their political slogan from class struggle to caste struggle," the article says.
