AT IIT Kanpur, protest bares old faultlines

Live Mint  

On 17 December, around 300 students and a few faculty members of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur participated in a peaceful march to show solidarity with students of central universities across India “in light of extreme and continued brutality against students”. “We requested the district administration to close the chapter and not take any action as the march was peaceful,” Manindra Agarwal, deputy director of IIT Kanpur, said in an interview. “I requested students that in order to bring more harmony, all social media posts about this event—especially the ones accusing and abusing others—should be taken down,” Agarwal said. “The worrying part is that we had to wait weeks to get an appointment to discuss student grievances, but this unnecessary twist to our peaceful march got such a prompt response,” one student said.
