NSUI stages hunger strike at MSU over fee payment irregularities
Vadodara: The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) staged a hunger strike at the head office of Maharaja Sayajirao University (MSU) on Tuesday, demanding justice for over 1,000 students who were allegedly denied fair access to the university's fee payment system. The protest turned tense when a student leader collapsed during the demonstration and had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. NSUI leaders alleged that around 1,100 students were unable to pay their fees due to technical or administrative glitches following phase one of the admission process for the Faculty of Commerce, which had 6,400 available seats.

He further claimed that, nearly ten days later, the university issued fee payment links to only 80 students — many of whom were allegedly affiliated with rival student outfits or connected to the ruling BJP. "The remaining 1,020 students were completely ignored without any valid explanation," Vaghela said. NSUI also alleged that officials directed the excluded students to re-apply in phase two of the admission process. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "Despite paying a Rs 300 application fee, only 50 students were granted admission. The rest were rejected without justification," he added. The student organization has put forth three key demands: Immediate issuance of the fee payment link to the remaining 1,020 eligible students, refund of Rs 300 to all students who applied in phase two but were denied admission, a formal explanation from the university regarding the selective issuance of fee links. University officials have reportedly assured NSUI leaders that the matter will be addressed on Wednesday. However, NSUI warned that the hunger strike would continue if their demands were not met.

Egyptian Author Rim Mourad Unveils New Novel "I Belong To You" at Cairo International Book Fair
Renowned author Rim Mourad has launched her latest novel, "I Belong To You" (Elayaka Antamy), at the ongoing Cairo International Book Fair (January 23 – February 5). This marks Mourad's fourth book and her second novel following the success of her critically acclaimed debut novel "Invasion" (Igtiyah). "I Belong To You" is a thought-provoking exploration of identity and belonging, inviting readers to question their own sense of self as they follow the protagonist's journey of self-discovery. Speaking about her new novel, Rim explained, "It is a story that raises questions within us, prompting us to ponder who we truly are and to whom we belong." The novel draws inspiration from Rim Mourad's short story "The Bell" (El Garas), a tale brimming with vivid characters and compelling events. "I felt that the short story format did a disservice to this rich narrative," Mourad shared. "I decided to expand it into a full-length novel, transforming it into a satirical literary work about a mother's diary and her family's adventures." A graduate of the Faculty of Commerce, Rim Mourad's passion for writing blossomed at a young age. She honed her craft by writing a collection of short stories that garnered widespread acclaim and numerous awards. However, her professional writing journey began in 2013 with the publication of "The Diaries of an Exhausted Mother" (Yawmyat Omm Tale' Habaaby Einiha). The book resonated deeply with readers, achieving widespread success with ten printings and consistently ranking among bestsellers in bookstores across the country. Buoyed by this success, Rim followed up with "Exhausted Women and Men" (Setat W Regala Tale' Habaaby Einihum) in 2014, a sequel that satirically explores the dynamics of male-female relationships and the impact of differing temperaments. In 2017, Mourad ventured into the realm of novel writing with "Invasion" (Igtiyah). This poignant and realistic portrayal of a middle-aged woman grappling with marital trauma and embarking on a journey of self-discovery has garnered significant praise. "Invasion" has even been recommended by psychiatrists to their patients as a source of hope and inspiration in overcoming post-traumatic stress. In 2025, after overcoming a prolonged writer's block, Rim Mourad finally released her latest novel, "I Belong To You" (Elayaka Antamy). This captivating story unfolds across multiple times and features a cast of diverse heroes, seamlessly weaving elements of romance and fantasy.
