Book Title: JNU: Nationalism and India’s Uncivil War

Author: Makarand R Paranjape

IN the last six years, JNU has drawn polarised opinions from across the country. From one end of the spectrum comes JNU professor Makarand R Paranjape, whose latest work emerges out of his public engagement with the happenings in JNU since February 2016, when the students held a protest to mark the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. The book begins with the outline of the wider context — the national debates on liberalism and nationalism. It recollects events from the day, brings to forth the ongoing clash of narratives in JNU, the disappearance of two students and its politicisation, and culminates with the crisis of higher education in India, making an appeal to transform JNU.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
