He is an oldish man, a plain security guard for the girls’ Ganga hostel which is almost a centre of integration - with students from all States, speaking different dialects and observing festivals of their own region. But like all those who have long years to count, Jagmal is nostalgic aboot the past and the JNU of “his time”. The present is a bit hazy - not that it inhibits him from judging it.

However, keeping in view the present situation following Ayodhya and its fallout in cities like Bombay and Surat, banning the rally is just not enough. The BJP itself, as a political party, should be banned.
