On Tuesday, approximately 60 students from Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) staged a four-hour protest against a centenary event organized by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on campus. The students claimed that the event represented an attempt to 'saffronise' educational institutions, holding placards with messages like 'Reject RSS in Educational Institutions.' The event, which took place on April 28, was described by the university administration as an academic program focused on the Indian knowledge system and culture. Students voiced concerns that such events should not occur in educational settings, fearing it reflects an effort by the RSS to influence student voices. They noted that this was the first significant RSS event at JMI, organized with considerable secrecy. The administration stated that the event met academic criteria and that attendance was voluntary, emphasizing the need for university spaces to remain open to diverse ideas.
