UGC's Committee to Probe Caste Discrimination on Campuses Offers No Solutions

Members of the committee have no track record of tackling discrimination – but do have a closeness to the BJP. Their affidavit in the Supreme Court does not respond to the many issues raised in Abeda Tadvi and Radhika Vemula’s petition.

In India, If you are Women, your character will always be questioned.

If you are Dalit, Tribal your merit will always be questioned.

If you are Muslim your patriotism will always be questioned.

Who Pushed Fathima Lateef To Suicide?

IIT Madras’ underbelly of professional jealousy, harassment, a roiling caste & religion-riven campus is showing

#FathimaLatheef
#PayalTadvi
#RohitVemula

Just names?
Or blots of ever-increasing size on modern-day India's conscience?

After all, how many more suicides of gifted young students will it take for us to sit up and take notice that caste-based/religious discrimination remain endemic problems here?
EVEN in our so-called 'premier' educational institutions!

Question these systems!
Challenge these bullies!
Make your dissent heard!

But most importantly... look in the mirror!

I refuse to call this suicide, this is a Murder similar to #RohitVemula & #PayalTadvi .

19 yo #FathimaLatheef topped IIT entrance last year. She was also the topper of her Department. Religious discrimination and harassment by a certain Prof ended her life. She wrote in her letter 'My name, my Identity itself has become a problem for me here' .
