The Director @iitbombay has shown great leadership over the last couple of days.

Today he spent >3 hours in an open house and addressed each and every question asked by students, and has managed to de-escalate the situation on campus.

He also assured
- Prof. Doolla’s suspension is only from his Dean-ship to allow for a fair and impartial investigation into what happened.
- Acknowledged concerns from the faculty, and assured them that the institute would always stand by them, and is standing by Prof. Doolla in every way possible.
- They will continue to take action against cheating.
- They will try to address mental health of students based on the route causes of the issue, and include student representatives in all the decisions that affect them.

Overall, all stakeholders were satisfied with the conclusions drawn, and the situation within campus has been diffused - which was very important.

IITB is an educational institution and with this de-escalation normalcy will be restored tomorrow onwards including restarting of lectures.

The politics of the incident have of course escalated well beyond the institute, but as students, that isn’t our responsibility to deal with. I hope truth prevails in the court of law.

I spoke up because I felt only one perspective was being shown, and the discussion was incomplete.

The general student body, including me, seem to be satisfied with the conclusions and standing behind the director on his promises.

That’s all on this situation from my end- expect to continue to see posts on semiconductors on this account now onwards, including my visit to Semicon India!

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.

Dr. Abhishek Swarnkar was a scientist whose research was recognised in international journals, he recently returned to India after working in Switzerland and was working at India’s premier institution for science and research, IISER Mohali. And he was killed by a bully, in a society that gives little to no respect to academics, researchers and scientists.

His tragic death is a damning indictment of how India treats its brightest minds. A scientist who gave up the comfort of a foreign life to contribute to his country was silenced by a bully. This is a national disgrace.

Academics, researchers, and scientists build our future. But in India, they are too often met with hostility, indifference, and, at times, with violence.
Bullying is a sickness that thrives on the silence of those who witness it and the reluctance of those who suffer from it.

Our intellectuals are not fighters; they are builders. They work with ideas, not fists. They seek solutions, not conflicts. Their humility and focus on knowledge make them easy targets for those who with brawn and little brain. They suffer silently, and continue doing what they are good at - scientific research for the betterment of humanity.

If we do not protect them, we fail as a society. If we do not stand up to bullies, we are complicit in their crimes. If we do not value our researchers, we will lose them—to silence, to despair, or to countries that know their worth.

Let’s create an India where intelligence is not bullied into submission, where kindness is not mistaken for weakness, and where those who dedicate their lives to learning are honored, not harassed. If we do not act now, another Dr. Abhishek will fall, and we will have only ourselves to blame.

Can the scientific and research community do something about this? Can they?
