Much has happened since right-wing activists, on January 23, barged into the Film & Television Institute of India (FTII) campus and attacked students over a banner that read: ‘Remember Babri, death of Constitution.’ Soon, on January 26, 300 FTII alumni—that included Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty, Badhaai Do director Harshavardhan Kulkarni and film editor Antara Lahiri —penned an open letter condemning the violence against the students. Now, the FTII Students Association (FSA) has called for an academic halt and urged the premier institute’s president, actor-filmmaker R Madhavan, to step in.
