I stand with Suryanarayan Doolla. I will not be a mute spectator to the brazen weaponisation of the 'SC/ST Act' to settle scores with a Professor who caught a student cheating in an exam.
Until 18th September (the day of Sahil Wakode's death), there was not a single complaint from any student, either with the SC/ ST Cell of IIT Bombay or the administration, of any act of caste-based discrimination by this Professor.
When the student unfortunately took his own life after being caught red-handed in the act of cheating, his parents came up with this theory of 'caste atrocity'.
According to Sahil's father, the Professor subjected the student to "severe mental harassment and casteist slurs over the past three months".
Where and how did Sahil communicate this information to his father?
Is this revelation in the form of written text/ whatsapp message or an unrecorded phone call (which we can't verify because Sahil is not in this mortal world)?
And the biggest question of all: Why did Sahil's parents not lodge a complaint with IIT-Bombay or the police and instead chose to let their son suffer for 3 months at the hands of this alleged 'casteist' Professor?
Clearly, they are aware of the provisions of SC/ ST Act. Why did they not take any action? Was it because nothing like this has ever happened?
But for 1 minute, I would have believed their version of events. But this part of the NDTV report got me thinking hard -
"The complaint explicitly names Professor Suryanarayan Dulla, who was also an invigilator during the exam in which Sahil was caught cheating, alleging that he hurled caste-based abuses at the behest of Director Shireesh B Kedare."
Wow.
A professor at IIT-Bombay was conspiring with the institute's Director to bully 1 particular student from the SC community (out of 100s who study there), knowing well that one complaint from him would jeopardise their careers.
When Sahil's father decided to lie with impunity, he should have worked alongside 'caste baiters' on social media to make his conspiracy theory believable, at least.
Because no one with an iota of rationality is buying this narrative, except, of course, politicians and influencers whose existence is based on manufactured and exaggerated victimhood.
In normal cases, a police complaint would have been filed for 'abetment of suicide.'
But Sahil's parents know that a complaint under the SC/ST Act allows for 'preventive detention' without investigation.
This is the fastest way Professor Suryanarayan Dulla could be sent behind bars.
If you are one of those who are willing to stay silent because you believe that it can't happen to you, then be ready for a surprise in jail someday.
Speak up against the brazen misuse of legislation that was intended to give justice to marginalised communities.
I’m a U.S. Army combat veteran and a Hindu American. I didn’t put on that uniform, leave my family, and go to war so some third-rate talk show guy could announce that when his side “wins,” they’re coming for my religion.
I served with Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, and other Hindus. Nobody pulled rank on God before we went outside the wire. Some of those men never came home. None of them died so you could fantasize about ravaging someone else’s faith. The people who worship in those temples pay taxes, run businesses, and send their sons and daughters into the same Army I served in. “When we win, we are tearing this down” is not patriotism. It is a threat against Hinduism itself to vandalize another American community’s house of worship because you hate the faith inside it.
If winning in America means demolishing Hindu temples, you don’t want the country I fought for. You just want a license to go after people who aren’t you. America is not your theocracy. Religious liberty does not expire for Hindus when you decide you’ve won. You don’t get to tear anything down. Not legally. Not morally. Not in the country for which I actually sacrificed.

When she started letting schoolchildren build satellites, senior Indian scientists told her to stop.
"A couple of very senior well-known scientists in the country told me to stop spoiling children's futures and get them to focus on studying first."
Their satellites have since flown on rockets belonging to both NASA and ISRO.
Her name is Dr Srimathy Kesan. She runs Space Kidz India, a Chennai aerospace company registered in 2016 with around 47 people on its rolls today, built on one unusual principle: students should not merely study space, they should build the things that go there.
The first person she recruited was a college student who had come to interview her for his magazine. His name was Rifath Sharook, from Pallapatti, a village in Karur district. By the end of that conversation both of them understood he was in the wrong course.
After the Indian scientists said no, Kesan wrote to NASA. Jaydeep Mukherjee, who directs the Florida Space Grant Consortium, told her to stop aiming straight for orbit and start with stratospheric balloons instead.
So they did. Then Rifath's team entered a NASA student competition with something that weighed 64 grams, built from 3D printed carbon fibre. They nicknamed it the gulab jamun, because that is what they were eating when someone asked why a satellite could not be that small.
They named it KalamSat. On 22 June 2017 NASA flew it on a sounding rocket from Wallops Island, the first time NASA had flown an experiment built by an Indian student.
ISRO, which Kesan had been pitching without success for years, called soon after. She was given six days to build and deliver.
On 24 January 2019, PSLV-C44 placed KalamSat V2 in orbit at 1.26 kilograms, the lightest satellite ever put there. Then came AzaadiSAT and AzaadiSAT-2, assembled from payloads made by 750 schoolgirls from some of the remotest villages in India.
Space Kidz India has now flown 19 balloon missions, three suborbital payloads and five orbital satellites. Kesan holds ambassador status at NASA, the European Space Agency and Russia's Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre, the only Indian to do so.
The college student who turned up to interview her for a magazine is now the lead scientist at Space Kidz India.
@RShivshankar@TVMohandasPai They just want IIT certificate without hard work . Just give them certificates why waste tax money. Why we need them in college if they don’t want to follow the rules .
THE CASE OF DR DOOLLA: FROM AWARD WINNING PROFESSOR AND EXAM INVIGILATOR TO SC/ST FIR.
Dr Doolla completed his MTech and PhD from two IITs. He has won multiple honours and awards.
On Friday, Sahil Wakode (20), a second-year Dalit student in the Energy Science section, was caught using a mobile phone during an examination conducted between 2 pm and 4 pm. Dr Doolla was the invigilator. A few hours later, Wakode died by suicide.
Soon after, protests broke out on campus with students blaming the "SYSTEM" that puts too much exam pressure on students. In response IIT Bombay put out an official statement saying no formal disciplinary action had been initiated against Wakode. The institute claims the student was counselled by faculty and assured that the incident would not derail his academic career.
NOW, THE SAME PROFESSOR WHO INVIGILATED THAT EXAM HAS BEEN NAMED IN AN FIR INVOKING PROVISIONS OF THE SC/ST ACT. The act was invoked because Wakode's parents accused Dr Doolla of "casteism".
iPhone in Hand
Reserved seat in IIT
Good Family Background
Caught Cheating in Semester Exams
No Action by IITB - Asked to leave Exam
Went to Room, committed Suicide
Parents use SC/ST Act against Faculty
Compensation Given Immediately
Sad state of Affairs
No minister has come out in support of IIT Bombay professor.
Tells you how much they care about the education system. They can even sell the country for a few votes.
An absolute bunch of shameless people!
Dr Doolla is an acclaimed professor of Energy Sciences at IIT Bombay. An MTech and a PhD from IIT, he has received excellence in teaching award twice. He recently caught a student cheating. The student committed suicide.
Dr Doolla has now been charged under the SC/ST Act.
After filling the streets of Kerala with Lord Krishna on Janmashtami, Gen Z and Gen Alpha Hindu kids have now taken to the roads for Ganeshotsav.
Slowly but steadily, Kerala is rediscovering its cultural roots—and healing. 🙏🕉️
Dear Hindus
Raise your voice against the ongoing human rights violations and atrocities against Hindus.
No one else is going to be our voice but ourselves.
Media, Politics and Academia, the 3 fields where narratives are set, the 3 areas where Hindus are grossly misrepresented.

As Chanakya said, a civilization is not defeated until it gives up its native culture and adopts the culture of its invaders. The ones who adopt the invaders culture are forever doomed to suffer the anxiety of being inferior imposters.
Important.
1. We are fighting mafias.
2. Hence I enter a new phase in life.
3. For years, Veda, Sanskrit and Yoga shaped my life through study, contemplation and Sadhana.
That phase is over.
4. My brave pariwar like @swati_gs and others fights on the front foot, with faces exposed. I cannot ask them to slow down. I cannot take my duty towards them casually.
And there are many more such warriors I must reach.
5. Now my sole identity is of a warrior.
6. I must nurture, protect, cultivate and organize warriors rooted in Bhagvad Gita.
7. Respond to every assault with overwhelming disruption. With extreme ferocity, meticulous planning and zero tolerance for crooks.
8. Scare and destroy the mafia.
9. Perhaps another life is for isolated pursuit of Veda and Yoga.
10. This one is for Lanka Kand.

This response by Gukesh will go down in history as a masterclass for humility.
For those who don't follow chess, this is the first time in decades that a World Champion is not playing on Board 1 (strongest board) and instead playing on Board 4, because there are 3 other Indian players in better form.
Many fans criticized the coach for disrespecting the world champion and look how he responds.
RAM TEMPLE DONATION SCAM: NATIONAL HEADLINES FOR WEEKS.
BUT A Rs 50-CRORE TEMPLE LAND LOOT ALLEGATION? STRANGELY IGNORED.
An FIR has been filed against N. Ram Kumar, a DMK functionary from Srirangam, TN. Police allege he encroached on Ranganathaswamy Temple land worth ₹50 crore and built a DMK office on it.
Would the political and media response be the same if the alleged encroachment involved a temple associated with any other political ideology?
And why does the “Brahminical oppression” argument so often become a shield when Dravidian politics collides with the sanctity of temples or Sanatana itself?
