ABVP Attack: Law Vice Principal Forced Out

10 Key Takeaways

1. ABVP Attack controversy: The episode involves a prolonged protest, allegations of pressure on the Vice Principal and a controversial "purification" ritual; it should not automatically be described as a proven physical assault.
2. Attendance dispute: The immediate conflict centred on attendance requirements and complaints about how attendance was recorded.
3. Tarannum's latest position: The Vice Principal says she did not resign and will continue her duties.
4. Governing body accountability: If the attendance system was defective, responsibility must be established through an institutional inquiry.
5. Religious symbolism: The use of Ganga water and incense to "purify" an office during an academic dispute raises questions about dignity and religious identity.
6. Old campus culture: Political pressure on Bengal's educational institutions did not begin with the present government.
7. Same standard for everyone: Left, TMC and BJP-linked student organisations should be judged by the same democratic standards.
8. Student protest has limits: A genuine grievance does not justify intimidating or confining an academic administrator.
9. South Calcutta warning: The 2025 law-college controversy showed the dangers of excessive political influence inside an educational institution.
10. BJP's test: If the BJP promises a different political culture, it should demonstrate that difference on Bengal's campuses as well.
