On a cold December morning in 2018, a strange event occurred on the grounds of D.E.S. Navalmal Firodia Law College in Pune. The staff was gingerly led into their staff room for an unexpected meeting. The room was crowded with extra chairs and the doors were closed. Inside the room stood solemn-faced police officials flanked by members from the college’s senior management.
The management began the meeting with a patriotic song that somehow led to a speech on nationalism and how it was time to repay one’s debt to the motherland. Soon the police took over and began a lecture on Urban Naxalism. They talked about the people accused in Koregaon-Bhima Elgar Parishad case.
