Because of the fear of SC ST Act, UC people will start not interacting with Dalits, not indulge eat drink with them, corporates would be reluctant to employ them and then we’d yet again be labelled as casteist, oppressors and charged with discrimination. What a vicious circle. There is no place for us
IIT-Bombay Faculty Forum issues a statement in solidarity with Professor Suryanarayana Doolla.
More IIT Faculty Forums need to come out and issue statements in support of the Professor.
The case against him must be quashed.
GC and OBC faculty in colleges should avoid any form of non-public interaction with students. If an interaction is mandatory, such as during viva, wear body cams and record the entire session. Also install CCTV with a mic in your offices.
If the administration doesn't allow body cams, refuse the assignment. At worst, this may lead to disciplinary counseling; however, that remains far better than being falsely accused under the Atrocities Act, which can result in job loss, public humiliation, financial strain, imprisonment, and years of judicial harassment.
Start demanding body cams so that either the request is met or it generates enough awareness to force a public discussion on the misuse of the Atrocities Act.
Had you posted this 2 days earlier, you would have lost the elections in DUSU. You are now defending cheating in exams? Next you will demand that criminal laws may not be applied to SC/ST.

IIT Bombay case should be investigated and if no castist angle found then all professors should go on for mass resignation until government passes a bill to put 10 year jail and 10 lakh compensation for fake case.
this is open and shut case, just check whether the student who took the step was abused in any improper way or not.
I don't think the IIT Bombay professor resigned because he felt intimidated.
I think he resigned because he is far too qualified and doesn't have to deal with this unnecessary bullshit.
He can quit and live out his life peacefully elsewhere.
IIT B Faculty should boycott everything and there should be no further Studies until the SC/ST Act put on the Faculty is revoked
This nonsense cannot go on forever!
They are booking every meritorious scientist under SC/ST Act. Foreign powers don’t need to assassinate our top R&D brains anymore. All top scientists will willingly relocate to west now. At 10-20X higher salary.
