There was a time when college politics probably taught would be leaders how to lead a nation but now things are vastly different. Students, in my opinion are better off with their studies and keep their political affiliations to themselves until they pass out without disrupting or disturbing the college routine.

Very True. There've been more than enough incidents of such as JNU, Ramjas which evidently suggest that the colleges are better off without politics being mixed with the curriculum.

Politis in educational institutes are unwanted and not desirable.

Student Unions like ABVP bully the students and convert every college into a political arena.

There should be limits to how such organisations work.

In fact APVP from my own experience is a well organised union which takes up issues and some people may use its name when things go wrong and as you rightly pointed in another discussion the media highlights what they want to  ..In our own University there are extremely dangerous student unions that believe in verbal abuse and violence only ...I won't take names but not for ABVP , student lives would be very difficult at times because our politicians, given what they are only bothered about vote bank and appeasement..
