    Oh, the irony of JNU being called ‘liberal’. (JNU is India’s best liberal arts university. Politically, they are very left-leaning, with the Communists winning most union elections.)

      That’s the correct meaning of “liberal”, yes… as in “libre”, meaning “free”. It’s 'murica that fucked it up.

        Communists are hardly liberal, in fact by any reasonable political theory definition we’re anti-liberal.
