Jadavpur gets back

We have been a little late in reporting this but credit must be given where its due.

Remember the incident at Jadavpur University where a student of Architecture was ragged ad allegedly drugged? Well, in an unprecedented move, the university has suspended 24 students involved in the incident and lodged F.I.R.s against 6 of its former students who were also involved.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 4 students who were directly involved have been suspended for 2 years....quite a decisive step, don't you think?

This is the first time Jadavpur University has invoked such strict suspension and penalties against ragging-offenders. On can only hope it is the dawn of a new era.
