During the ABVP‑organized 'Sanskar Sangam' event at MSU Vadodara, a student performed a solo dance to a Bollywood song considered 'U‑rated' and then tore up the performance in protest. The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) condemned the act as 'abhadra' and against cultural values, while the Congress party shared the video with a strong statement, leading to the student’s harassment on social media. The incident highlights rising tensions over cultural expression and political activism on Indian campuses.
