JNU VC Sparks Controversy With Temple Remark and Feminist Claim About Draupadi

JNU Vice Chancellor stirred debate after suggesting that a Venkateswara temple should be established on campus to generate funds for the university. He remarked that the institution is financially dependent, likening its situation to begging for resources. The VC also made headlines by calling Draupadi the first feminist, while accusing JNU historians of distorting historical facts. The statements have drawn attention for their provocative nature, blending religious, financial, and academic discourse. The remarks are likely to intensify ongoing debates about the ideological direction of one of India's premier universities.
