Maharashtra Govt FIRMLY REJECTS caste angle in the IIT Bombay case.

Minister Pratap Sarnaik calls deliberate attempts to give the issue a CASTE color "VERY UNFORTUNATE."

“Sometimes Turkey and China”

Considering the amount of time this MEA has spent massaging their egos, this is not just an unfair assessment factually but unacceptable framing with an aim to make the case against India—one that can contribute to economic pain for Indian citizens.

A lot of people here claim that no SC ST thought leader ever speak out against the misuse of the SC ST Act.

Well, here is a former CJI of India, who comes from a Dalit Community, himself speaking against its misuse.

"AFTER IIT DELHI and Madras, faculty forums of IIT Kanpur and Indore have extended their support to Professor Suryanarayana Doolla who has been removed from the post of Dean (Administrative Affairs) at IIT Bombay following the suicide of a student."

Gavai is legitimately a good man. Another reason why the amount of seethe shown on here against so called dominant SCs is misguided and will backfire.

Hyping up India…….we are building only a single fab which will get them orders for 5-10 litho machines at max !!! Europe’s chips act added more than that……..we aren’t serious about building fabs just bakchodi to get global spotlight

[V. Ramgopal Rao, Ph.D. @ramgopal_rao]

I am disturbed to see Prof. Suryanarayana Doola being vilified over the recent controversy at IIT Bombay. I know Surya personally. He is one of the finest faculty members I have known in the IIT system, and a gentleman of the highest integrity. Whatever concerns have been raised should be examined fairly. A public campaign against an individual serves no one.

With over 25 years of experience at IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi, here is my take on the entire controversy and also a solution, which I believe we must look into.

The problems we are seeing are all primarily because of the one size fits all approach in IITs.

With students coming through an intensive coaching culture, and classrooms bringing together students whose JEE Advanced ranks range from single digits to five digits (in the same class -for example CSE in IIT Delhi), we now have highly heterogeneous classrooms across the IIT system. Language also further adds to the challenge.

The question to ask therefore is, with such heterogeneity, can we expect every student to learn at the same pace?

There is nothing wrong with opening the doors of our best institutions to students from different backgrounds. The question is whether we have addressed this heterogeneity in our teaching-learning methods.

A faculty member cannot pitch every class at several levels at once. Move too slowly, and some students lose interest. Move too quickly, and others are left behind. In my classes, I have also seen students with excellent JEE Adv ranks struggle. Coaching had prepared them to solve familiar types of questions quickly. Many are lost when they see a question which they haven't solved before.

This is not a difficulty confined to any admission category. The move from coaching to independent learning can be hard for anyone.

Here is a solution.

I feel we should consider moving our https://t.co/KVfDlMnXUZ programmes to five years in IITs. Those who meet the credit requirements could complete it in four years, or perhaps three and a half. Others could spread out their courses over five years and receive more academic help, including recorded lectures, online material and support with language where needed. The pace would be decided by performance within the IIT, not by a student’s admission category or entrance rank.

Calling it a five year programme for everyone has a psychological advantage. Students who need more time would simply be following the programme as designed, while those who are ready could complete it sooner. No one would be singled out for taking a fifth year.

We must uphold academic standards. We must also recognise that students do not all arrive at the same point, or learn at the same pace. Giving them the time and support to meet those standards is a responsibility of the system.

Former CJI Justice BR Gavai on misuse of SC/ST Act: Judges, judiciary can't do anything. Parliament has to do it. Just like Gen Z movement created pressure, a social movement can put pressure on govt to add safeguards to SC/ST act.

Lawyership is the most absurd profession invented by humanity. Zero accountability. "There was no professor at the solidarity protest" is a complete lie.

[Rationalist 🇮🇳🌏🌌 @supersayan68200]

I would love if this was true, but indian economy has not even doubled between 2016 and 2026.

To expect a 3 fold return between 2026-2036 is a tad bit optimistic.

This is lie.
Thr were many prof including myself.

I won’t say anything more in this disturbed time.

Hwevr, character assassination of Prof. Dolla, and mud slinging against Sahil, both r extremely painful, 2 say the least.

In this chaos, we lost a chance of systemic reform.

[AwakeHindu (Top gun Pollster) @vyasa1968]

Uttar Pradesh assembly elections 2027. Night update. UP-403 seats. Others- 6 seats. INDI - 144 seats in Excel. INDI range 144 to 164. NDA- 170 seats in Excel, NDA range 150-170. Undecided- 83 seats. A downward adjustment of 0- 20 seats in BJP total and a corresponding upward adjustment of 0-20 seats in SP alliance seats is done because of evidence that rural areas are seeing high anti incumbency on BJP due to extreme farm crisis and rural voters are under-polled in surveys. As of today INDI could be at 210-225 seats. If NDA hits 225 in my analysis, then NDA may be safer keeping in mind buffers. As in all elections I do, I am being trolled by those who do not agree. Some question my motives, some question my methods, some question the sources, some attribute agenda to me. My response is as usual- Jo hai wahi hai aur jo hoga wahi hoga. It is a standard template in India, if you ignore rural voters, if you ignore farmers, if you ignore poorer voters, the voting public will kick assss RUTHLESSLY and not even the gods can help you. This week you will say- Kisi ko yeh shaq nahi hona chahiye ki Bhajpa/Ham election jeetenge and 4 months later will may be wishing why the hell you didn't just continue in that Matth in Gorakhpur. Keep tracking.
