‘Measure of a nation not only in economy or achievement’: Olympian Abhinav Bindra makes his stance clear on protests

Olympian Abhinav Bindra posted on X expressing sadness over student protests in India.

Bindra stated that education is a non-political issue affecting all citizens.

He argued that a nation's measure includes opportunities for young people, not just economy or achievements.

Bindra called for unity to strengthen the education system to foster opportunity, innovation, and hope.

The protests follow the NEET exam cancellation due to a paper leak in May 2026, leading to student suicides.
