New Delhi, Jan 12 : Writer Chetan Bhagat on Sunday was trolled by netizens after he tweeted on the Jawaharlal Nehru University.
One section, however, supported him.
He wrote on @chetan_bhagat: "JNU is just one college.
"There are nearly 40,000 colleges in India.
"I understand it is important.
But there is a limit to how much importance and attention one college gets.
"There are more important issues in a country of 1.2bn people I am sure."
The post got 4K retweets and 21.2K likes.
One user wrote: "Surely there are, Chetan.
But in how many other colleges have students been dubbed 'anti-national' and 'Tukde Tukde gang' based on some fake videos? In how many other colleges have they been beaten with rods, sticks and axes?"
"It's not a college.
It's a weed farm and must be crushed like how farmers de-weed their farmland," remarked another.
"JNU is an anti-India manufacturing unit and these people are no better than enemies of the country," read another post.
One user said: "Illegal migrants in India merely 0.05%.
I understand it is important, but there's limit. How can only for 0.05% government making 99.95% people suffer?
"There are more important issues in a country of 1.35 billion people, I'm sure."
A user commented: "You are just one author.
There are many in India. You think you are important but limit yourself how much importance you give to yourself."
A Twitter user posted a screenshot of a dictionary and tweeted: "Half writer..for you... the difference between a college and university."
