Visva Bharati is a reputed institute which was set up by the Nobel laureate, the illustrious, Rabindranath Tagore. On 17th August, a mob allegedly led by a local TMC MLA, came with a JCB and vandalised the University's under-construction wall, stealing construction equipment and vandalising the premises. Police of the district were aware but did nothing. Why is Visva Bharati, which has the foundations and talent to be a global university, descending into such chaos? To understand that, we speak to Vice Chancellor of the university, professor Bidyut Chakrabarty.
