The usual trouble makers. Political activists clad in saffron robes, doing irreparable harm to the cause and institution they seek to affiliate themselves with.

If I was given a choice of what my tax money is spent on I would say no to these universities. Apart from health , care for elders and security - No Way towards these freebies. Unfortunately we are forced to pay tax towards these in useless expenses and no one will fight for us!
