Ramaswami: Ranjan (name changed) returned to his village in Murshidabad in West Bengal after classes were suspended in Jawaharlal Nehru University prior to the nationwide lockdown. Classes had begun just a month before the lockdown after a long agitation against the fee hike and the bloody violence on January 5. He remained hopeful of completing his course work and beginning with research but the pandemic brought everything to a halt. Faced with the unprecedented crisis, the university directed students like him to attend online classes. The only problem he now faces is the lack of internet in ‘Digital India’. The poor connectivity has hit students like him because it not only limits their access to classes, but also to research material accessed through e-libraries like JSTOR.
