I am an alumnus of BHU and my ancestral home is just besides BHU. You asked - if there can be hindu univ, why can't there be muslim. My point here is - the situation is other way round, First muslim univ came and then Hindu univ. Why there was a need to establish a Hindu univ, why they didn't name it as "Indian" univ? Since muslim univ was already there, so establishin hindu univ was totally justified. Though, I am not saying that since AMU is a muslim univ, these things are happening, it may happen anywhere. Some 15 yrs ago, similar incidents used to happen in BHU too, but one VC (Mr Hari Gautam, later became chairman of UGC) permanently dissolved student's union, and no elections have been held since the. This irradiated student's politics and hence removed these kind of incidents too.
