While JNU has been the most recognisable name nationally when it comes to student movements in recent years, it is not the only one. The neighbouring campuses of the University of Delhi and Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) have had their fair share of student movements — as have several other campuses, such as the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in Uttar Pradesh. A common thread connecting these campuses is the rising sentiment that student movements are under an all-out assault. The believers say the response of the state, which has ranged from stringent criminal cases to brute police force, is part of the organised effort to curb student movements, which otherwise have a long history in India.
