We often hear about campus politics in Kerala and its victims, including education. But few know about the cultural differences between colleges in Kerala.

In his post on Loyola's "“let-us-not-get-involved” political apathy", writer and editor Ashok R. Chandran gives his perspective on how Loyola has achieved a distinct reputation for being the school that bucks the trend. While other campuses have caved into hartals and intimidating student unions, Loyola has refused to bow to the violence that follows the two. However, Ashok questions, is the institutionalized attitude closer to apathy than a confrontation of such social evils?

All valid questions for anyone who wishes to see more mature political involvement at all levels in Kerala.
