Exclusive: IIT Bombay Alumni Amogh gives chilling experience of castism while he was doing B Tech + M Tech Dual Degree in Chemical Engineering

Amogh is now PhD from USA
He told me

“IIT Bombay has history of systemic casteism. This happened to me in 2012 after I caught dengue. I almost lost my life because of a dangerously low platelet count, missed a month of classes, and had to drop courses.

During counseling, I was sent to an Electrical Engineering professor who was supposedly an “expert” in handling such cases, even though I was from another department. I was accompanied by my 1st year mentor who took me the office of this so-called “expert”. After my mentor left the office this so-called expert asked me my JEE rank and told me I did not deserve to be in IIT Bombay because of my SC rank, and that reservation was not meant for people like me whose family was not poor. He asked about my father’s income; I said we were a lower-middle-class family. He was supposed to help and guide me to recover in academics after a life threatening illness but the entire conversation was shaming me for my caste.

I never spoke about this to anyone until I was mature enough to understand what had happened. By then it was too late. My confidence was shattered in the first semester itself after he told me I would not get more than a 6-point CPI. I was only 18, vulnerable, and easily manipulated.

People ask why Sahil didn’t tell the SC ST cell. Well, the cell is defunct. “

I request Modiji to become the first world leader to make a Tik Tok account, it’s a step to reach out to the common people & understand them.
This will help India on its journey to becoming a Super Power 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
RT if you want to see Modiji on Tik Tok

Is Modiji just trying to get Chidambaram in a closed room so that he can take some notes on how to fix the economy?

In the memory of Narendra Dhabolkar, who was shot dead 6 years ago today, we observe National Scientific Temper Day.

The dark forces of obscurantism and superstition can never kill the ideas of Dhabolkar.

Let's fight to build a 'New India' of science, reason and logic!

Inspired by the level headedness from TM Krishna in his tweets since the day of abrogation of article 370. Hats off sir.

[T M Krishna @tmkrishna]

Keeping all arguments for and against 370 or the way the government went about it aside, we should be deeply disturbed that we have lost the ability to empathise with people. That this is seen as revenge and is being celebrated with such jingoism is so worrying.

@chapidee remembered a bit from a stand up comedian (can't remember the name). He says to somebody following their passion: 'aap ko to maja aa rha hai na isme..paise bhi chahiye? '

Nurses at District hospital, Jaunpur misguided the patients family that cost them her life. The patient was in labor and referred to a private hospital by the nurses that was inadequate to deal with the complication of low blood pressure post delivery.
