BIG BREAKING 🚨
IIT-Bombay Faculty Forum issues a statement in solidarity with Professor Suryanarayana Doolla, saying he was merely performing his academic duties and following institute-approved procedures after detecting a student using a smartphone during an exam.
The Forum also expressed distress over the “tarnishing” of his reputation following the student’s death.
did my https://t.co/zANOEvvHvH at IIT Bombay and my PhD at IIT Delhi. I've been a professor for 14 years now. In 22 years of watching the IIT/IIIT system closely, I have never once witnessed a teacher discriminate against a student on the basis of caste.
During my https://t.co/zANOEvvHvH, most of us had no idea what caste our batchmates belonged to. Many of my close friends were SC/ST. We never discussed it. It never entered any conversation or decision. Not once. Our exposure to the humanities department was limited, though — the term "Brahmanical patriarchy" didn't even exist back then.
As a teacher, I don't ask a student's name before solving their doubt. Often I don't know their name at all — some of my classes have 300+ students. We treat them all the same. So does every colleague I know. So did every professor who taught me.
Social media has now filled vulnerable students' heads with a lot of manufactured grievance about caste discrimination that, in my experience, doesn't exist.
@hvgoenka@rajshamani idk, im not being too dark,
but reality is that my parents expectation are just as a son- keep giving money for their dreams,
From house to sister's marriage wellbeing.
No one in my family ever till now asked me - what you want, how are you, what is your dream. Strangers did.
@harshith_ganesh@ClassyWasabi01 They don’t know Miss world Aishwarya Rai is from our Puttur. Nan maklu open drainage pakka maneli irooru. Whole Chennai smells like Kengeri Mori
@harshith_ganesh Except Ajit , sandalwood would never hire anyone for side roles or dancing roles behind hero or heroine. Ajit and Surya look is descent , rest all are Africans Negros
@Adityaacard Rest in peace, he is coward for committing suicide. I understand his parents pain and they must also understand that professors or college is not responsible for his act.
@AnanthAyyasamy SC ST act is now become double edged sword for harassment. There should be strict laws to punish ppl who take advantage of the law. Punishment should be mandatory for false accusations
@theeverydayIND@AnanthAyyasamy All I want protection against ppl like who get over with discrimination and treat everyone equally in this era not be punished by some false accusations, taking advantage of SC ST act for targeting genuine general category ppl who now treat everyone equally
@theeverydayIND@AnanthAyyasamy Honestly speaking my previous generation was discriminating Madiga ppl, I only giving coffee and tea in cocunut chip to them during childhood. Now I’m going inside Madiga house and eating with them , some time eggs . As we grow we mature. I don’t give shit about caste now
The CIA very carefully groomed him for years.
He fooled Hindus in the first term and started implementing anti Hindus policies while behaving like Hindu.
Now, his anti Hindu laws like atrocity acts are being used against Scientists, Doctors, Engineers, Hindu girls and everyone.
Now, CIA don’t need to kill our scientists. They can use Modi act to book any of the scientist or professor anywhere.
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
