Ten Years After Rohith Vemula's Death, Calls for Anti-Discrimination Law Persist

Ten years after Rohith Vemula, a Dalit research scholar at the University of Hyderabad, died by suicide amid alleged caste discrimination, his family continues to advocate for social justice and an anti-discrimination law known as the Rohith Vemula Act. His death sparked widespread protests and highlighted ongoing caste-based challenges faced by marginalized students on Indian campuses. Political leaders like Rahul Gandhi emphasize that caste discrimination persists, urging legal reforms and stricter action against such practices in educational institutions.
