IIT Bombay Anti-Discrimination Email Resurfaces Amid Caste Discrimination Allegations
An email from IIT Bombay professor Suryanarayana Doolla advising students to avoid questions revealing caste or social background has resurfaced amid allegations of caste discrimination following student deaths. The advisory, part of yearly anti-discrimination guidelines issued during Doolla's tenure as Dean of Student Affairs, emphasizes maintaining an inclusive campus. While some defend Doolla's record and initiatives, a legal group has filed a complaint alleging false claims of casteism on campus, seeking action against involved parties. IIT Bombay officials have yet to confirm recent details.
