Campus politics in India is actually taking an ugly shape. With the killing of a cop in Kottayam, things became really ugly in nature. In this country, campus politics is basically an entrance into the real politics. The student unions on Indian campuses actually recruit young students and get them trained in politics. At least this is the strategy that CPIM has adopted.
In South India, outsiders have been banned from entering campuses. This is a step taken to prevent on campus violence in Southern part of the country. Campus security has also been beefed up lately. In 2003, the Kerala High court passed a law which banned students from indulging themselves in political activities. As a matter of fact, the religious institutions have actually banned religious involvement as well.
A complete ban on all campus political activities is something that will stop the campus political activities. For this to happen, all the student unions need to be completely shut down and all campuses should be free of political colors. The bottom line is that the educational institutions are there for students to learn new things and simply have fun. All the rest of the baggage should be taken away from the campuses and should be made a fun place to study and work. All the political stuff should not be there.
