CHENNAI: Going by history, campus politics has always provided platforms for students to rise to prominence and eventually emerge as politicians.
Even as student leaders in Kerala and West Bengal have gone/going to contest in the 2021 Assembly elections, Tamil Nadu has largely been lagging on this front. The reason?
A widespread notion that campus politics affects academic performance.
Various student activists accused educational institutions, political parties, governments, policies, and the common people for decimating the fledgling student politics in the State under the garb of avoiding violence on campuses.
The result? Tamil Nadu is losing out some of the best minds and ending up depoliticising them, a conducive space for totalitarian State to thrive, SFI TN State Secretary V Mariappan said.

How Meritorious and Inclusive Are Our Institutions of Higher Education?
The recent report advocating for IITs to be exempted from reservation in appointments subtly implies that Dalit-Bahujan lecturers are not meritorious . This is evidence of how social elites still hold a hegemonic position in these institutions.

Rights19/Dec/2020
Recently, a panel of IIT directors and some government officials submitted a report to the Ministry of Education suggesting that IITs should be exempted from reservation in appointments as they are ‘institutes of national importance’. To preserve the âhigher meritâ of these institutions, reservation policy shall be barred. This report in a subtle manner argues that candidates selected through reservation policy would be meritless, and therefore, it may compromise the âefficiencyâ criterion.
