Rival ABVP and SFI Marches Highlight Nationalism Debate at Jadavpur University
Jadavpur University witnessed rival marches by the ABVP and SFI amid tensions over nationalist slogans and graffiti on campus. The ABVP's 'Vande Mataram Yatra' aimed to promote national pride and counter alleged separatist influences, while the SFI held a counter-protest opposing what it viewed as an imposed nationalist narrative. Both events involved students, staff, and political leaders, occurring ahead of a nationalist conference featuring BJP figures. Police measures were taken to prevent clashes between the groups.
