‘Future at stake’: India moves to demolish university Muslim leader founded

In Rampur, India, over 100 individuals are protesting against the planned demolition of 38 buildings at Mohammad Ali Jauhar University, which was founded by prominent Muslim politician Azam Khan. The university, named after a freedom fighter, was established in 2006 under the Mohammad Ali Jauhar Trust. The Rampur district administration claims the majority of the buildings were constructed without proper approvals and ordered their removal by August 5. However, an interim stay was issued, though it remains unclear if this halts the demolition entirely. Protesters argue that the government should reconsider the decision, especially given recent successes in influencing policy through demonstrations.
