The Dark Shadow of Casteism in India's Elite Institutions The recent filing of an abetment FIR against Professor Suryanarayana Doolla, the Dean of Student Affairs at IIT Bombay, in connection with the death of Sahil Wakode by suicide is a stark reminder of the long standing issue of caste based harassment and discrimination within India's elite institutions.
The case has left many shocked and outraged, highlighting the deep seated problems that exist within these hallowed halls of learning.
The accusations against Professor Doolla are particularly disturbing given his position as invigilator during the exam where Wakode was caught using a mobile phone.
