Students cannot be punished for dissent, questioning: SC judge Ujjal Bhuyan - The Economic Times
In a powerful statement, Supreme Court Justice Ujjal Bhuyan declared that disciplining students for dissent is fundamentally unconstitutional. He highlighted that dissent is crucial for democracy, insisting that society must embrace it. The ability to question forms a cornerstone of citizenship, he argued. Educational institutions should cultivate a space where varied thoughts are scrutinized with reason, not aggression, as intolerance undermines the essence of India's constitutional values.
