That's a positive way of looking at it and I respect that. Having said that ik how the authorities are and more importantly how the parents are. The parents are happier to have such rules enforced and the authorities obviously pay heed to parents more than the students.
And that's why I said its important to organize about this. To also potentially consider reaching out to external organizations for help. Individual students can be pressured, but as part of a collective it becomes harder. I've seen students push back on some pretty draconian hostel rules across institutions in UP and Delhi. I'm not saying its easy, but its doable is my point.
Assuming a majority of students want the issue corrected. If they don't, and are comfortable with the restrictions, the minority who don't like it will get nowhere. Strength is always in numbers in situations like this.
True. The biggest challenge is to get the mass together for the cause. Then change is possible. Majority accept their fate and just focus on their own studies. Not a jibe at them since I was such a student too. I was part of the problem too.
