Girls’ brawl on ‘₹10-lakh-a-year’ university campus goes viral; internet can’t stop talking about one shawarma-eating guy

A video of a chaotic brawl between two young women on a university campus has taken over social media, sparking a massive (and often heated) debate about what exactly is happening in our country’s expensive private colleges.The clip, which was posted by an X (formerly Twitter) user under the handle @mujifren, has already pulled in hundreds of thousands of views and a flood of opinions. The caption that started the fire? “Giving 10 lakhs per year for your kids education in a top private college will ensure he or she will never be bored.”While the post explicitly mentions Jindal Global University in Sonipat, it’s important to note that there hasn’t been any official confirmation from the university yet.

We don’t know exactly when this happened or what sparked the fire, but that hasn't stopped the internet from dissecting every second of the footage.

Chaos, Shawarma, and the "Maro" Chant

The video itself is pretty jarring. It shows two groups of women in the middle of a screaming match that quickly devolves into hair-pulling and shoving. But what’s arguably more unsettling than the fight is the reaction of the crowd. While some students are desperately trying to record the "content" on their phones, others can be heard in the background cheering and chanting “Maro, Maro” (Hit her, hit her) like they’re watching a gladiator match rather than a campus dispute.

However, in true internet fashion, some people found a bit of accidental comedy in the middle of the madness.One user pointed out the true hero of the video: a guy standing just a few feet away, completely unfazed, calmly eating a shawarma while the world burns around him. “The real legend is the guy calmly eating shawarma,” the commenter joked. “Sometimes the best skill is just focusing on your food.”

The "Elite Culture" Debate

Beyond the jokes, the video has opened up a much deeper conversation about the price of education versus the quality of character.

Many are pointing to the ₹10 lakh-plus price tag of these institutions, questioning why "elite" education doesn't seem to prevent public brawls."When parents pay that kind of money, they expect a certain level of decorum, not a street-style fight where bystanders act like spectators at an illegal boxing match," one user remarked.Others, however, are calling out the ethics of the situation. Is it right to film someone's worst moment and blast it across the internet for "likes"? One commenter asked if we've lost our sense of empathy, where our first instinct is to reach for a camera instead of trying to de-escalate a situation.It’s easy to watch a 30-second clip and think you know exactly what’s going on, but experts always warn against "outrage culture." Short, context-free videos rarely tell the whole story, and jumping to conclusions about an entire university’s culture based on one fight is a bit of a stretch.That said, the video serves as a pretty stark reminder that no matter how high the tuition fees are, human emotions, and sometimes, bad behavior - don't come with a price tag.
