India, Sept. 20 -- As the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) election results rolled in on Friday, the mood on Delhi University's North Campus was a vibrant tapestry of triumph and a singular defiance. The air, thick with anticipation all day, exploded into a roar of saffron as the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) swept three out of four posts. The epicentre of this jubilation was the revered Swami Vivekananda statue at the Faculty of Arts, the traditional ground zero for DUSU victory celebrations.

As news of the ABVP's dominant win spread, the crowd swelled around the statue. Saffron flags, held aloft by euphoric students, created a sea of orange against the blue sky. Dhol beats thundered, and chants of "Bharat Mata Ki Jai"...
