Hindi media reporter Aaj Tak compared Galgothia University to WhatsApp University when questioning the students’ social media protests against inheritance tax and wealth redistribution.
The students’ protest against inheritance tax and wealth redistribution at the Congress headquarters in Delhi was mocked on social media. Due to their inability to respond to inquiries concerning the origins of the protest and the views put forward, the youths—including X—are being made fun on social media. The rally was attended by students from Galgothia University in Greater Noida.
This super story by my fine young colleague @JournoAshutosh exposes the WhatsApp university (and state of higher education!)! Next time when students want to protest at least find out what the protest is all about!😊 https://t.co/Us6w40Nnue

There is a video going around of a reporter from the Hindi newspaper Aaj Tak speaking with the students who are protesting. When questioned about the demands made during the chaos, the young guy is shown in the film pointing to the sign in his hand and requesting that someone else ask him as he is finding it difficult to respond.
The first student to try to explain redistribution of wealth is at a loss for words. Then there’s this, the video, and the instructions to ask someone else. The reporter asks what is on the student placard when they claim that the words are about the Congress platform. This pupil, however, is unable to decipher the contents of the Congress document.
Some weren’t even prepared to respond to the questions. Within the gathering of protesters were several who could not even read the Hindi text on the posters. Additionally, the kids were chanting “vote for a developed India.” One of the students read Maxwell while glancing at the banner that stated “Urban Naxal.” He said he didn’t know what it was in response to the question.
Social media users who took part in the demonstration are the target of a lot of jokes. Additionally, journalist Arfa Khan said that Galgothia University is the new WhatsApp University in Sherwani X. The film, in response, exposes WhatsApp University and the status of higher education, said senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai.
