Campus violence
Most of the public colleges and universities have become mini cantonments which are full of lethal weapons and ammunition. It is a great tragedy for the nation that the sanctity of the campuses of our educational institutions is being marred by violence. Campus violence is a festering wound. The places of nation-building are now centres of terrorism. Invaluable time, talent and money are being wasted by campus violence. The violence often forces the closure of the institutions and further worsens the already critical, session jam situation.
The general students are not strong enough to protest against it because the violence is perpetrated by some powerful mastans supported by the government and the opposition parties. As the nature of campus violence is basically political, it has to be faced politically if at all we want to stop it.
