Distorted context

The All India Backward Students’ Forum ( AIBSF) is planning to hold a protest demonstration against the JNU administration which sent a show- cause notice to its leader for releasing a pamphlet.
The forum also alleged that the administration is planning to take action against them to prevent from contesting the university election.
According to the notice, Yadav had been found guilty of releasing an offensive poster depicting a deity in a derogatory manner that led to violent incidents. They had circulated an article praising Mahisasura (a prehistoric villain) trying to associate him to a section of society at present.
Its is just a sad example of distorted/ skewed context/ reference and preference . . . I am ready to stand anywhere with my little knowledge of history, anthopology and sociology of India and prove that there is no relationship between the prehistoric stories and present Indian society. The westerners' views are highly miopic in the sense they cant see the world out of black and white but we in India have so many different colours starting from black to white! Even genetic analysis has shown seven different skin colours. Then how can we accept their just two race theory? There views are also malafied and serving their purpose of dividing our society. Then is it in our benefit to believe them?
Despite all that if some one or few people that too at prestigious institutes like JNU (I feel its the most prestigious institue of the country - rest is upto the inmates) do like this, its just sad. Nothing is going to happen but some disturbance.
