This is the real truth of socialists and communists who practically rule campuses like JNU, TISS and Jadavpur University. All of them pine for a career in the US or Europe. They wish to enjoy all the blessings of a capitalist economy. But they will forever bat for the cause of socialism and communism. In essence, what it means is that, these people want us to remain trapped forever ina socialist/communist economy while they and their families enjoy the fruits of capitalism.
I have yet to come across a single Jadavpur University or TISS or JNU student who wishes to remain in India and do research or teach. All of them dream of the US visa and the eventual green card it can lead them to.
But when they talk, they always say the most vile things about the US. They blame this great nation for all the evils plaguing mankind.
These are the very same people who will ferociously defend terrorist organisations such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the radical Islamist clergy of Iran, Egypt and Pakistan. They will support Jihadi terrorist outfits such as ISIS and Taliban and put the blame for everything on the US. For them, the US is the devil incarnate.
Yet, all they want is an F-1 visa to study at an elite US university. And eventually, to be able to settle down in the US with a green card.
President Trump understands these people well enough. Kudos to him for standing up for America.
I always wonder why communists and socialists are attracted to the USA, and why it takes them. In one way, it is good riddance for India if it takes them.
Wow! JNU students taking down liberal “protests” to go to a capitalistic county – if this isn’t hypocrisy then what is?
