Universities not only served as centres of learning but also promoted resistance through critical thinking. The recent wave of student resistance in India has brought the role of the university to the forefront. This work analyses massive protests that emerged in the aftermath of Rohith Vemula's death in Hyderabad Central University, as well as the Azadi Campaign started by Jawaharlal Nehru University students in Delhi in 2016. Taking Osmania University in Hyderabad as a case study, the text provides an ethnographic account of the emergence of one of India's longest student movements- the movement for Telangana statehood.
