University teachers and politics

But it is regrettable that the dubious political influence has been spoiling the image of teachers as the allies of morality. Their ideals for social reforms and development are being pushed to take a back seat on account of politicisation of the academic atmosphere.

We see that most of the teachers are divided into groups on political lines. Actually, there is nothing wrong to have political ideologies or political affiliations in the right perspective. But following a party actively or joining certain political stream for building individual future or fulfilling one's own dreams is not a good idea at all. That's why, it is now seen that when a party comes to power, its followers among teachers enjoy privileges, favouritism and preferential treatment denied to others.

So, in order to retain our faith in the noble profession, teachers should keep themselves away from politics and discrimination.
