Stray dog discussion is heating up in India, I donot wanna comment on it. But lately, I am seeing lot of post on "ecological importance of stray dogs". I just wanna say, that is big BS. Stray dog's are invasive species in our ecology. They destroyed 80+ native species 1/3

It is extremely sad and disappointing that a few words of criticism would not be tolerated and that our voices intending to improve things would be persecuted if spoken out in the open. 1/5

Students are at the core of any educational institute and they also want to participate in all discussions that affect them. Thus, their voices should be the priority. 4/5

I urge all students at educational institutes to be more vocal in fighting for their rights and better facilities. Be at open public forums or in secrecy within their institutes, whichever way possible. 5/5

Forcing a student to apologise, not a new thing isn't it?

Twitter is meant for sharing opinions , discussing problems , debating about them not to get threatened by institutes just cuz you criticise them , it's really concerning how institutes nowadays can't take criticism at all.
