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. “

Hate against our brothers and sisters from North East should NOT be tolerated. Hoping that this racist person and all those laughing aree behind bars. Agree that Collectively as a society we are a failure
This evil man will be punished. There was delay in lodging the official complaint but Delhi Police and Tripura Police will teach him a hard lesson. People who tolerate such wicked behavior in the society are also responsible for the spread of hatred.
A delegation from ASA-UoH met the protesting parents of Sahil Wakode at Azad Maidan, Mumbai. Sahil was institutionally murdered at IIT Bombay on 18th Sept.

A film actor was injured and Dy CM was quick to pay visit (He’s not even home minister)
But Sahil Wakode has died and not one minister came to see the family.
Is an actor more important than an aspiring youth?
The missing belongings have also affected access to necessities. One student alleged that hostel keys belonging to three protesters remained inside unreturned bags, leaving them unable to enter their rooms.

Muslims who’ve been voting for SP, now shifting to BSP
Reason : SP can’t defeat BJP and they know who Akhilesh nominated to Rajyasabha
