Author Amish Tripathi, famous for his "Shiva Trilogy" that combines history, fiction and modernity, today referring to JNU controversy said, "debate in this country has been hijacked by two extremist views". After interacting with students at a school in suburban Mumbai, he told NDTV: "The debate that is taking place in the country is not in line with the traditional Indian way. Respecting someone else's right to have their own point of view is the Indian way."
