At last …
The college has been freed from the clutches of christober.
Wonder whether the college would get back
its great glory? I was so fortunate that I was there before all these
struggles. It was a divine place to work with. Heavenly life I had.
All these struggles would not have happened, if it was in
the period of seventies or eighties. Students would have come together and
should have stood very strongly against those who wanted to capture the college.
That was the spirit the students of those days. Or,had it been the faculty a
little more loyal, sensitive and convicted they should have stood together to
tide over the incursions. Sadly they never showed any sense of conviction.
Either being in power or being with the power was the policy of many. When the then bishop tried with force to get
into the Main Hall, had the students or the faculty stood together as a whole what a great escape that would have been to
our college. It did not happen.
Well … it is all old
stories.
When I rummaged through my old writings and photos, I had
some video clips taken during the fight. They are – to me – a great treasure,
showing how at least some stood against the evil. I thankfully remember how the
non-teaching staff were mostly involved in the fight. Many in self-financing sections lost salaries too. But they were so strong.
Hope and wish college reblooms soon.
