So what's the problem with the fee hike? It is being imposed only on JNU. Unless the fee hike is for all institutes, it reeks more politics than policy. There also is the question of money wasted on statues. But unless we do something about our political class, there is no escaping them.

The question to ask is can India afford "heavily" subsidized higher education? The answer is no. India has low resources, thinly spread across all segments.

In return for the perks you offered, you wanted me to barter superiority with equity, entitlement with justice. You got too needy, if you ask me. I
