Large number of non-Hindi speaking students pursuing Phd and MPhil courses at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) have alleged that the varsity administration was "blatantly" imposing the language on them.

According to the students, the latest directives from the administration said all students will have to transliterate their names, the name of the centre and the topic of dissertation or thesis into Hindi. The projects will not be accepted if these things are not done.

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) General Secretary Satarupa Chakraborty also alleged harassment at the hands of the administration and said that many students wrote their dissertation/thesis titles in their local language script as a mark of protest.

"Whatever the government is trying to impose on people of this country, the JNU administration immediately tries to follow it without any discussion," she said.

However, JNU's Registrar Pramod Kumar said that the students were asked only to translate their names and dissertation/research topics in Hindi.
