Letters: Keep politics off campuses

With reference to the editorial, "Colonial-era code" (February 16), the sedition law in India is archaic and akin to blasphemy laws. As Nobel laureate Amartya Sen has suggested, such provisions under the Indian Penal Code need to be examined to determine their relevance to today's times.It is incomprehensible that universities and colleges should have student unions with affiliations to various political parties. Students go to universities to learn and equip themselves for a bright career. The government should ban student unions in all colleges. In their enthusiasm, many students have gone astray. They need to be counselled; extreme charges need not be invoked against them. Politics and political parties should be kept off college and university campuses.H N Ramakrishna BengaluruLetters can be mailed, faxed or e-mailed to:The Editor, Business StandardNehru House, 4 Bahadur Shah Zafar MargNew Delhi 110 002Fax: (011) 23720201E-mail: letters@bsmail.inAll letters must have a postal add
