After resigning as Oxford student union president-elect amid racism and extremism allegations in 2021, Samant has written a book, ‘A Hindu in Oxford’, launched by senior RSS & BJP leaders.
Samant is the first Indian woman to be elected its student union president. Soon after her election in February, she was targeted over some of her old social media posts for being 'anti-semitic' and 'transphobic'.
Oxford University’s Campaign for Racial Awareness and Equality and Hindu Society have denied Samant’s charge that the institution is intolerant towards Hindus.
Nick Jonas is not trying to modernise the mangalsutra, but his gesture shows that choices can be equal. If commitment must be flaunted, it need not be gendered.
