Tribue to Indian Students 889

Tribute to Indian Students – 889 The recent decision by many Indian students to forgo studying in U.S. universities, despite having access to significant scholarships and concessions, is both courageous and commendable. This choice, made in light of the ongoing policies of the current U.S. administration, sends a powerful message. On one hand, it reflects the students' principled stand, and on the other, it should prompt serious reflection within the U.S. administration. Politics must never intrude upon the domain of education. Indian students have always held U.S. universities in high regard for their academic excellence and innovation. However, education should never be used as a tool for political maneuvering or discriminatory policies. I wholeheartedly applaud the students for their bold and thoughtful decision. It is not easy to turn away from prestigious institutions, but their stance underlines the importance of values and dignity. Let this be a reminder to global powers that the youth of India are not just academically brilliant, but also socially aware and ethically strong. May this moment inspire more dialogue, more inclusivity, and a greater commitment to keeping education above politics. K.Ragavan
