Congress/ BJP/ AIMIM expelling its local corporators for tying up at city council level is just another way to infantilise the local level leaders. We must not have such moral high grounds in politics . A coalition govt with a mix of right and left is a more stable, sane and thoroughly representative govt for the diverse set of voters. This is as good as proportional representation. We all are indians at the end of the day.

Congratulations!
Mumbai has surpassed Delhi in AQI
In just 7 years!
Not by accident
But, by design

Mumbai Police is hiding data about sanctioned staff strength
& actual staff strength
Data which will reveal how understaffed they really are
But, lets not worry. The few staff available are more than enough to stop people from waving flags
Gun-waving criminals can wait

Saying 'I never experienced casteism' is basically saying 'I belong to a dominant caste'.
Saying 'I did not know my caste till 10th grade' is a privilege only someone from a dominant caste can afford.
Casteism is real. Racism is real. White privilege is real. Male privilege is real.

Justifying a student’s death on the grounds of academic misconduct reflects a severe lack of collective empathy.

This is the true face of Indian liberals.. they hate caste and yet they practice it..
For more…
Please read my work on Hindu politeness and the lack of genuine civility in India..

Another colleague speaks up..
Faculty Forum is not our voice.. not a legitimate body.

Doolla is known to punish student disproportionately
Says IIT-Bombay alumnus Sandeep Savarkar is revealing how the accused Prof. Dulla would get students suspended for 6 months or even a year over the smallest of issues.
One student had given a media byte about IIT not being inclusive; he was got suspended for 6 months.

आयआयटी मुंबई येथे साहिल वाकोडे या अत्यंत हुशार मुलाचा जीव आयआयटी मुंबईच्या संस्थेने घेतला. आज वंचित बहुजन आघाडीची विद्यार्थी संघटना असलेल्या 'सम्यक विद्यार्थी आंदोलना'ने आयआयटी मुंबईच्या प्रवेशद्वारावर आंदोलन केले. या आंदोलनात मी सहभागी झालो.
आपल्या सर्वांना माहिती आहे की, साहिल वाकोडेच्या संस्थात्मक हत्येनंतर आयआयटी मुंबईने त्याचे चारित्र्य हनन मोठ्या प्रमाणावर केले. कुठलेही पुरावे नसतांना त्याची मीडिया ट्रायल केली. यामध्ये देशभरातील सवर्ण मीडिया, प्राध्यापक, स्वतःला बुद्धिवादी म्हणवारे, राजकीय पक्ष यांचा पुढाकार यात दिसून आला. देशभरातील संस्थात्मक हत्यांमध्ये हा सेम पॅटर्न दिसून येतोय.
साहिल वाकोडेच्या न्यायासाठी त्याच्या मित्रांनी आवाज उठवला, त्यातील अनेक जण कॉलेज कॅम्पसमध्ये आंदोलनाला बसलेत, यावेळी त्यांची ही भेट घेतली आणि त्यांना पाठिंबा देऊन या लढ्यात आम्ही तुमच्या बरोबर असल्याचे सांगितले.
आयआयटी मुंबईच्या प्रशासनाशी सम्यक विद्यार्थी आंदोलनाच्या शिष्टमंडळाने चर्चा केली. त्यांना आम्ही जाब विचारला. प्रशासनाला आम्ही सांगितले आहे की, साहिलच्याबद्दल तद्दन खोटी, चुकीची माहिती संस्थेने दिल्याबद्दल जाहीर माफी मागावी. ज्या विद्यार्थ्यांनी साहिलची हत्या उघडकीस आणलीय त्या आंदोलक विद्यार्थ्यांना आता आणि भविष्यात कोणताही त्रास देऊ नये, अन्यथा गाठ आमच्याशी आहे. जोपर्यंत साहिल वाकोडेला न्याय मिळत नाही तोपर्यंत आमचा लढा हा सुरूच राहील.

it does not work like that. I don’t co-author with students and there is a difference across disciplines.
Some of the protesting faculty from Maths Economics don’t even have half the citations I have.. are you telling me they are less meritorious?
How educated are you?
Shove your useless Degree where the sun doesn't shine!
That great professor (Suryanarayan Dulla) who studied from IIT Delhi has more than 10x citations than you in the last 5 years. He was at the helm of various startup incubators and actual innovations that bettered the cause of development in this country, His Bachelors Degree from IITD alone is worth 10x than the irrelevant Edinburgh accreditation you've based your entire life upon.
While you and your fraternity peddle lies with nonsensical critical race theory and a neo-caste discrimination frameworks in every aspect of life.
What have you actually accomplished for your institution(IITB) that you seem to flagrantly undermine? What exactly is the point of your useless Liberal Arts PhD in an institution like the IIT?
When I say you are a Freeloader, it collectively refers to the entire plethora of counterproductive Liberal Arts and Humanities Department in eminent Institutes such as IIT/IIMs.
You (Humanities and Liberal Arts) have no place in IIT,
The IITs will not be made into another JNU or Jadavpur University!
Bookmark this tweet!
I may not be the exact concerned political person to speak on this complex subject, but your Woke Agenda Driven Hateful Department will be eventually defunded and actual SCIENCE will once again be allowed to foster in Scientific Institutions.
You don't actually care about the student who committed suicide, you are just a clout chaser who wants to repay the Commonwealth Scholar unsaid Debt by smearing ink on your own country and people.
Jai Hind🇮🇳

Faculty forum is not a legal body.. they are building pressure on investigation committee. Not all faculty identify with this group..
I am saying this on record, any media outlet can quote me.

She needs to delete this and apologise unconditionally.
Kindly note @Pawankhera, @Jairam_Ramesh, @SupriyaShrinate.
