A sincere request to @EduMinOfIndia.

Please hike the fellowship of the PhD students. Rs. 31K (for JRF) and 35K (for SRF) is no longer economically viable for various obvious reasons.

Increase it to something like 45K and 51K for JRF and SRF respectively. @dpradhanbjp

Just finished @ayadakhtar's 'Homeland Elegies' and am agog with admiration. The writing is wonderfully supple, and he has an amazing ability to tell compelling, nuanced and conflicted stories about difficult themes like religion, migration and exile. Must read.
