Bibliographic Details
Title: The University in New India: A State of Siege.
Authors: Chaudhuri, Supriya (AUTHOR)
Source: Social Research. Summer2025, Vol. 92 Issue 2, p447-476. 30p.
Subjects: Political persecution, Intellectual freedom, Academic freedom, Precarity, Obsolescence
Abstract: Universities in India, projected by ambitious policy pronouncements as poised for unprecedented growth, are actually under attack from multiple quarters, with restrictions placed upon academic freedom and research, compounded by funding reductions, faculty shortages, decaying infrastructure, course obsolescence, and increased social and financial precarity among both staff and students, within a general climate of political repression. The current regime's investment in a new India projects the nation itself as a university—or at least as a teacher. This is very far from the reality that obtains on the ground, with academic freedom and intellectual values severely compromised. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
