In every democracy, a delicate balance must be struck between freedom of expression, a sense of responsibility, and maintaining public safety and order. This understanding is particularly important when it comes to interactions between fellow democracies, as our actions within our own borders are the true measure of our values. When asked about the potential impact on Indian students studying in US universities, a representative stated that they are in regular contact with Indian students and will address any issues that arise. Reports from CNN highlight the increasing unrest at colleges across the United States due to pro-Palestinian protests.

The University of Texas in Austin and the University of Southern California both experienced protests resulting in numerous arrests.
