When some JNU students raised violent and seditious anti-Indian slogans in the university campus on February 9, 2016, it came as a shock to many across the country. Some of the slogans were openly calling for India’s destruction, celebrating the absolute annihilation of India, like: “Bharat tere tukde honge, inshallah, inshallah”.
