This was not the first time that a movie has irked the sentiments of people by showing something that a section of society didn’t approve of. In fact, most people out there, rather than agreeing to disagree with a movie or its plot, would choose to throw a shit-fit or a full-blown riot, dissing a film and demanding it to be taken down.
But not the students of JNU, for even if they didn’t side with the depiction of their institute in the film ‘The Kashmir Files’, they stand strong on the belief that JNU still plays an important role as the building block of the nation.

Nowhere in the movie JNU is mentioned ...https://t.co/cEbR8grMBB
Just watched #KashmirFiles
This film is a tight slap in the face of all the so-called JNU "students", "poets" and "intellectuals".@vivekagnihotri @AnupamPKher pic.twitter.com/YMuNFoBI4l
The character of Radhika Menon in The Kashmir Files movie, performed by Pallavi Joshi, is inspired by the JNU Professor Nivedita Menon, a well-known political scientist and author of the book Seeing Like a Feminist. Menon is a professor at the JNU. pic.twitter.com/FCk0FVzFRK
— Anoop Menon (@anoopmenon_108) March 20, 2022Upset with how JNU was portrayed in the film The Kashmir Files where a professor from the Delhi University was supporting the Kashmiri separatists, students from JNU think that it was not everyone’s take on the Kashmiri Pandit matter, yet, they understand why the ideologies of such people need to be exposed.
It is really strange that India’s 2nd ranked university JNU is targeted in Kashmir Files movie from where we have got bright leaders like Nirmala Sitharaman & Jaishankar. Strange!
— Sunderdeep - Volklub (@volklub) March 23, 2022The movie "The Kashmir Files" talks about the plight of the Kashmiri Pandits during their so-called "exodus" on & from 19 January, 1990.
But this movie also tries to misrepresent some true facts, defame JNU, blame some selective politicians and so on.#TheKashmiriFiles
Siddhant, a student pursuing his PhD from JNU says, “Most of the students and faculty members at JNU, do not hold views that are opposed to national interests. Neither are they involved, in any way, with such divisive things." But when it comes to exploding people like Professor Menon, he thinks it's absolutely necessary to do so.
Another student Deepanshu from the university shared, “I have seen the film and such films should continue to be made. People of all communities should know how the Kashmiri pandits suffered in the Valley. We all feel that making such films has become even more important when the government has not taken adequate steps against the criminals."
To everyone alarmed at #KashmirFiles scenes where Pallavi Joshi’s character yells that India will be in “tukde tukde”, let me assure you that in my time at JNU not a single prof. ended or started or even mentioned anything about tukde tukde bits of India.

He went on to say, “This is not an issue with this institution alone. JNU also gives back a lot to the country. We are everywhere in the country supporting and contributing towards nation-building. There is immense scope for positive debate among students studying here. Students have the freedom to speak, learn, understand and have a platform to voice their opinions."
Coming to the defence of the university was yet another student Sabarish who said, “JNU is just like any other university. There are obviously students and staff members with different views. But their controversial statements are only used to highlight this place as the citadel of divisiveness by filmmakers and journalists. The university has also been imparting quality education for decades now. It is one of the top universities in the country."
