SFI protests over ‘casteist slur’ against Dalit student in Delhi's Shaheed Bhagat Singh College
New Indian ExpressNEW DELHI: Delhi’s Students’ Federation of India and other student organisations staged a protest on Friday demanding arrest of the principal of Delhi University’s Shaheed Bhagat Singh College after a Dalit student alleged that the former hurled casteist slurs and assaulted him after he was falsely accused of sending obscene messages on the official WhatsApp group of his department. Mehina Fathima, Joint Secretary of SFI Delhi, criticised the growing discrimination faced by marginalized students in universities. “Universities are becoming alienating spaces for students from marginalized communities, who are subjected to discrimination and denied adequate protections such as reservations, scholarships and mental health support,” she said. Echoing similar sentiments, Arif Siddiqui, Vice-President of SFI Delhi, said, “We have not forgotten the case of Rohith Vemula and will continue to fight against the reduction of university spaces to mere killing fields.” Rohith Vemula, a Dalit student, died by suicide after facing alleged caste-based discrimination at University of Hyderbad, eight years ago.
