The academic freedom is becoming a larger issue these days. Activists have been always having suspicion on the role of academics during the last two and a half decades. There has been an emergence of a non-academic organic intelligentsia who were more closely connected with social issues and people’s movements more than the academic world during this period. However, at the moment, even the smallest critical space within the academic world is getting threatened. Tighter control, saffronisation of education, saffronisation of heads of academic institutions, control in the allocation of funds, surveillance, repression on resistance, etc are becoming more and more a norm. At the same time, academic institutions and service organizations of the minorities are also getting threatened. Apart from the human rights NGOs and those NGOs which express their critical views, even the institutions belonging to minorities are getting threatened. The largest number of organizations whose funds have been blocked belong to the Christians. Unfortunately, we do not find any resistance here even through a basic legal battle. Before they are asked to bend down, most of them are prepared to crawl!
