finding new me 🦋

[Pravesh Biyani @pravesh]

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.

How much do you wanna bet he was a quotadhari despite clearly being from a financially stable background?
iPhone in hand and his father could afford a lawyer on such a short notice.

Next Hisaab Chukta law: cheating permitted exclusively for soshit vanchits.

[Shimin @BelieveeInMine]

@aEight007 Even some sc/st case also applied on that professor and he lost his job too because some undeserving a&&hole was cheating

Sad state of Affairs

[Vishal Pravin Chheda @vishalpchheda]

Tomorrow, imagine someone is robbing a bank and a police officer tries to stop them. The robber threatens to invoke the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against the officer.

So what should the officer do? Look away and walk away?

We can keep inventing increasingly absurd scenarios, but the uncomfortable part of the joke is that people can genuinely believe such situations could happen in India.

The real issue is ensuring that laws protect people from discrimination while also ensuring that legitimate enforcement of rules and laws is not treated as wrongdoing.

[Shimin @BelieveeInMine]
