IITs have lied for decades that there are not enough candidates who applied for faculty positions from DBA categories. Our RTI data shows that hundreds of applications came for each position and these savarnas used NFS to fill those seats with their own
These are the idols of savarna merit, then there is one director in @iitmadras who wanted us to drink cow urine cause it was medicinal #savarnamerit IITs have some of the most irrational people in positions of power #curseforstudents
To you, I present ex-IIT Kanpur professor Laxmidhar Behera, who was later appointed Director of IIT Mandi.
Under his directorship, a program was organized where the poster read “Shudras should serve 'higher' castes.”
And we believe SC, ST, and OBC students are safe here!
More than 90% of faculty in @iitbombay are savarnas, which is a constitutional reservation violation. Of course they all join hands on this, most of them are casteist themselves, and treat Dalit bahujan adivasi students with contempt and ridicule #endcasteisminIITs
IIT Bombay Faculty Forum statement expressing "solidarity with our colleague" Prof Suryanarayan Doolla, who has been booked by police for alleged caste abuse and abetment to suicide after death of another BTech student at the campus

IITs and IIMs violate reservation norms in PhD admissions and faculty recruitment without any accountability, no govt or judiciary holds then in contempt for violating constitutional mandates, these campuses are always savarna temples. #casteinIITs
@iitbombay has a history of lying about caste discrimination in campus. when Darshan Solanki's family came out telling he faced caste harrassment, then also IIT came out telling he lacked merit and all, can't believe a word they say https://t.co/7cDaaxn7x5
There are so faculties in IITs who are empathetic, most enjoy or actually believe that students have to be put through gruelling pressure in the name of academic excellence. We don't need such graveyards of excellence, we need institutions of empathy urge, we need profs who care
To understand the rampent casteism in IITs, we need to look into the savarna minds. This article highlights points from a survey conducted in @iitbombay about how the students perceive caste discrimination.

For all the online trolls who cannot understand how prevalent casteism is in IITs.

'Anti-Quota Sentiment, Casteism Rampant At IITs In Garb Of Protection Of Merit' https://t.co/gSMhiH4Ilr
JUSTICE FOR SAHIL WAKODE! ✊
A 22 year old IIT student committed suic!de due to caste discrimination and institutional oppression at IIT Bombay.
This is the third suic!de at IIT Bombay in the last six months, prompting students to protest the system.
Students say that professors harass students mentally and on the basis of caste, due to which students get fed up and commit suic!de.
Some people are saying that the deceased student committed suicide because he was caught cheating. This is completely false. The student himself was a topper and had excellent academic scores.
IIT Bombay professor Suryanarayan Dulla was booked under the SC/ST Act and for abetment to suic!de.

Even high court had to stop @iitbombay under this director and dean Soorya Doolla from suspending students. Hefty fines in lakhs, suspensions, and kicking out of hostels have become rountine under their reign of terror. They have no empathy

It's this same @iitbombay Director and then Dean Soorya Doolla who fined kids 1.2 lakhs each and kicked them hostel just for staging a play based on Ramayana. And they want us to believe these people doing harass kids #justiceforSahil#studentslivesmatter
Sahil's father says he was being hounded by Soorya Doolla because of his caste for past few months and Sahil was being targetted and harrassed. This fake exam cheating allegation is coverup by @iitbombay to protect Doolla #justiceforSahil
IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode’s father has alleged that a professor made casteist remarks and harassed his son for three months. Mumbai Police have invoked the SC/ST Act and registered a case based on the family’s complaint. IIT Bombay has denied caste-based discrimination, while the circumstances surrounding Sahil’s death are being investigated.

The response of @iitbombay admin to stop student suicide is to remove ceiling fans and install wall fans. This is the level of crap these called 'top premier' institute admins think the solution to pressure and harrassment is #futile#justiceforsahil
Unless there is adequate representation of DBA in faculty positions and administration, our students will never be at peace in these institutions. How many more lives they will take @justiceforsahil how many more rohit, aniket, darshan we have to see

IITs have only namesake mental health support, just on paper, they are vaslty inadequate, unprofessional, often unqualified, mostly existing to blame the students for their issues, rather than identify institutional failures #justiceforsahil
The shameless people who humiliate #sahil claiming he shouldn't have cheated are merely swallowing the vomit peddled by @iitbombay. This administration has always tried to lie and blame the students, be in case of Aniket, Darshan and so many. #justiceforsahil
IITs are savarna spaces which gatekeep access to DBA students, there is lack of representation in faculties and long as that monopoly is broken, the sufferings faced by DBA students won't end. #endcaste
