A campaign to make the country an explicitly Hindu nation has had a chilling effect on left-leaning and secular institutions like Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Oh, the irony of JNU being called ‘liberal’. (JNU is India’s best liberal arts university. Politically, they are very left-leaning, with the Communists winning most union elections.)

That’s the correct meaning of “liberal”, yes… as in “libre”, meaning “free”. It’s 'murica that fucked it up.
Communists are hardly liberal, in fact by any reasonable political theory definition we’re anti-liberal.
You make it sound like we’re anti freedom rather than nothing to do with liberalism.
I can see that. Maybe I’m just too snarky.
