Vidyasagar University Exam Sparks Outrage: Freedom Fighters Called “Terrorists”

A significant controversy has erupted at Vidyasagar University in Midnapore, West Bengal, after an exam question labeled freedom fighters as “terrorists.” The question, which asked students to “Name three district magistrates of Midnapore who were murdered by terrorists,” has drawn sharp criticism and sparked a heated debate about historical accuracy and sensitivity.

Exam Question Fuels Debate on Historical Portrayal

The phrasing of the question has raised concerns about the university’s interpretation of historical events. Many argue that the term “terrorists” is a mischaracterization of the individuals who fought for India’s independence. This incident highlights the importance of carefully considering the language used when discussing sensitive historical topics.
