firstly, a JNU VC could not have written such a piece before 2014.

i think this is a good test for ideologues who have a lot of opinions on a lot of events, whether they have the self-awareness and intent to seize the opportunity and convert this into something concrete including public awareness.

if they have awareness about seizing the opportunity, all they need to do is co-ordinate between themselves and talk about this topic collectively in relay for about a month, nothing more is expected of them.

A lot of folks get offended by the elephant representation of India in western and Chinese media. Their intention is often to make fun of India. But remember that elephant is a very intelligent creature. It knows empathy but it's also knows how to crush the folks who mess with its family and territory.

In Indian culture elephant is associated three gods, Indra, Ganesha and Mata Lakshmi. Indra is considered one of the mightiest warrior, destroyer of fort, one of the most intelligent man, the mightiest dragon slayer, etc. in our literatures. And Ganesha even though mostly associated with wisdom is heavily associated with war as well. The name vighnaharta comes from his association with war and strife. So no need to be offended by the elephant depiction. Embrace it. Be proud that India is the elephant of Indra. Just like Indra we will eventually conquer the Vritra.

Nibbas behaving like Elephant is some farm animal like a goat or a cow.

It is a strong animal which can crush the opposition under it's feet or gore them with it's tusks, it may not seem as active as a tiger but it is also strong.

Meanwhile the other side has it's mascot as a mythical creature to show aggression

btw if you want to mock the chongs use Panda, that is what they used earlier when they had to show they weren't aggressive

Lmao the word for dragon in Chinese is Long. And that words means snake. Basically it's a fucking snake. Chinese are appropriately called snake oil seller. Even in Indian literature such creatures are called Ahi i.e snake. Vritra was a flying snake.
