Jodhpur: Professor Nivedita Menon and Rajshree Ranavat was invited in the School of International Studies at JNU, to take a lecture on the topic 'History reinterpreted: nation, individual and culture'. 

Nivedita Menon, while taking lecture raised some of the issues regarding the Kashmir border, which was objectionable to the university and its students.

Regarding the matter, university lodged a complaint against Menon and her companion. VC RP Singh as per the sources news told, "She spoke about two-three objectionable things…that Kashmir is not an integral part of India and India should give up claims on Siachen…and that soldiers work for their livelihood and not for the nation, etc."

When sources asked about the matter to Menon, she denied the allegations saying, "I never said anything about Kashmir being illegally occupied by India…the organiser introduced me as someone who had said so in an earlier speech from last year. Secondly, the point about showing India’s map upside down…that was a picture from the Himal magazine, which points out that the world is round and that nation are not natural objects but imagined constructs."

Menon cleared her point about soldiers saying that, "Regarding the soldiers, I said that the Army is also a means of livelihood and that if we loved our soldiers why do we treat them badly."
