NEW DELHI: New posters have come up on the JNU campus that describe Holi as an “anti-women” festival as “historically it has sexually abused Dalit women in the name of celebrations”.
The campus, which was recently rocked by a controversy triggered by an event last month to mark the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, has become the nerve-centre of a debate on freedom of speech.
Titled ‘What is holy about Holi’, the posters plastered on the walls of eateries, markets and schools on the campus are also doing the rounds of social media.
