Why leftist politics is most prevalent in school, colleges or in Universities? This question was asked to me on Quora which is a social media app for asking questions or getting answers Read the answer below #NojotoQuote No. But they are very visible in colleges where they exist which invariably gives the impression that all colleges are leftist. There's other confusion as well. For example in western countries leftist politics is equated with liberal politics but in reality right wing or left wing doesn't necessarily mean either conservative or liberal. So when you go to Western countries - in Yale and Harvard University, you will see leftist politics prevalent which invariably makes it cool in India.
