To address this issue at the University of Hyderabad, on discrimination in higher education, and, distinctly explain institutional forms of caste discrimination.
The Issue
This appeal finds its importance and urgency in the context of Prof.Amartya Sen's arrival to University of Hyderabad on 19th December 2013; as well as, due to the prolonged student protests and debates against the Vice Chancellor and the administration, at the campus. In the wake of Dalit suicides, systemic failure and institutional lapses, VC refuses to accept and engage with the question of caste and institutionalized forms of caste discrimination.
The debate has come in the context of several student suicides, of Dalits particularly, due to a systemic discrimination against them. Most of the Dalit students have been experiencing different forms of exclusion. It starts from institutional spaces such as class rooms, labs and administrative block.
