Up Campus, Down Campus: The Adventures of Anirban Roy In JNU
By Avijit Ghosh
()
About this ebook
It’s the late 1980s and Anirban Roy, fresh from the dustbowls of Inner India, arrives on an alternative planet called JNU. Here Marx rules the graffiti, the pamphlets and the suggested reading list. But Freud, at least his sex thing, rules most minds.
Anirban has a fixed goal: get through the ‘civil services’. Every day
