in 2014, when this govt was just coming into power, student organisations that I knew and was a part of agitated against bad faculty appointments and crackdown on dissent. Today the number of dissenters have reduced drastically. https://twitter.com/anibasnimsay/status/1305348204741816321

It’s a frightening situation. Many unis have become openly antagonistic towards any student union. Many have tried to squash campus politics as a whole. It’s terrible.

Speaking out critically abt the current regime in this climate is dangerous in every sphere - not just student politics - but this thread is a good reminder of how bad it has gotten how fast, and how systematically the govt worked to try and kill student politics
