"Parents have a share of blame as well. Most of them would like the administration to take up harsh disciplinary measures against their kids. Secondly, the convent run hostels have a long tradition of unwanted authoritarian actions, such that these hostels are basically akin to modern day moderate security prisons," commented one user on the post.

"I can totally relate to this we had a fine for laughing. Dude at least you were listening to music.. I got a fine for using the toilet at i guess around 8 or 9pm as it was study time . This is no longer a joke and unlike medical students our strikes never get much reach. Soon classes will start and exams will come, our beloved media will no longer will be interested. This girls needs justice.. no one will take away their lives just like that," wrote another user.

"I once wrote an apology for eating bhaji My warden who didn’t know why my ID card was taken, asked me to write something more acceptable. I refused," wrote a third.
