Summary

Students at the Central University of Kerala in Kasaragod protested on October 6, 2026, against a national seminar marking the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram, objecting to the presence of J. Nandakumar, national convener of an RSS-linked organization. Multiple student unions including SFI, NSUI, MSF, AISF, and KSU participated in the agitation. Protesters alleged they were denied entry despite registering for the event and claimed police used force against them. Reports indicate three to four students were injured during clashes with police involving pushing and shoving. The seminar proceeded with Nandakumar as a chief speaker. Student groups alleged the event advanced a 'saffronisation agenda,' while the university has not issued a formal statement on the entry restrictions or injuries. Police denied using force resulting in injuries. Political figures including former Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan criticized the police action and the state government's support for the event.
