Indian Universities Suspend Ties With Turkish Institutions

Indian Universities Suspend Ties With Turkish Institutions

Several universities in India have stopped working with universities in Turkey.

This is because of concerns about Turkey's support for Pakistan and its impact on India's security.

JNU was the first to take this step.

Other institutions, like IIT Bombay, IIT Roorkee, and LPU, have also cancelled or suspended their partnerships.

This decision affects student and faculty exchanges, research, and dual degree programs.

The University of Delhi is currently reviewing its agreements.

This action demonstrates that these universities are prioritizing national interests.
