Student Groups Condemn Renaming of Barkatullah University, See Bid to Erase Anti-Colonial Legacy

Students' Federation of India and Students Islamic Organisation oppose renaming Barkatullah University to Vagdevi Bhojpal University. They condemn this move as erasing anti-colonial revolutionary Barkatullah's legacy and diminishing Muslim contributions to India's freedom struggle. Both groups accuse authorities of communalisation and historical revisionism, prioritizing symbolic measures over educational concerns. They demand immediate withdrawal of this proposal.
