Crisis in the University

by Ananya S. Guha / February 21st, 2016

anti national sentiments are stirred
history gets blurred
the present is a real hypothesis
what people want, can’t
and then there are the mongers
power or none
whatever done cannot be undone
the artefact must remain
not the ruins, crumbling decrepit
a country ages, who will remember
the sages? An university of repute
is atrophied, and this is what we
think of learning, which we call a yearning?
