Hunger strike, suspensions: What’s happening at Kerala’s Sanskrit university?

At Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit in Kerala’s Kalady, three students are on an indefinite hunger strike. They are demanding the revocation of the suspension of 16 students and permission to appear for their semester examinations.

What began as a protest over basic infrastructure has escalated into a months-long standoff between students and the university administration. The dispute eventually reached the Supreme Court, with students seeking permission to write their semester examinations.
