He wrote on @chetan_bhagat: "JNU is just one college.

"There are nearly 40,000 colleges in India.

"I understand it is important. But there is a limit to how much importance and attention one college gets.

"There are more important issues in a country of 1.2bn people I am sure."

The post got 4K retweets and 21.2K likes.

One user wrote: "Surely there are, Chetan. But in how many other colleges have students been dubbed 'anti-national' and 'Tukde Tukde gang' based on some fake videos? In how many other colleges have they been beaten with rods, sticks and axes?"

"It's not a college. It's a weed farm and must be crushed like how farmers de-weed their farmland," remarked another.

"JNU is an anti-India manufacturing unit and these people are no better than enemies of the country," read another post.

One user said: "Illegal migrants in India merely 0.05%. I understand it is important, but there's limit. How can only for 0.05% government making 99.95% people suffer?

"There are more important issues in a country of 1.35 billion people, I'm sure."

A user commented: "You are just one author. There are many in India. You think you are important but limit yourself how much importance you give to yourself."

A Twitter user posted a screenshot of a dictionary and tweeted: "Half writer... for you... the difference between a college and university."
