Hang on, take a deep sigh and drink some chilled water friends. I'm a die-heart Indian however I've my thinking mind and I love to use it. National bird, (peacock), National chakra (Ashoka stoop), National flower (lotus), and the most important our tricolor (Tiranga Jhanda) is more or less inaccessible to a completely blind. Shouldn't I raise my concern on this? please contemplate. I agree raised slogans were wrong and I condemn, however branding entire university as anti-national is utterly wrong. JNU has served the nation in all spheres including disability advocacy and disability studies. So please don't divert from the substance of the topic and think then debate. I'd love to answer your queries if moderator permits further.
