In 80 years, Indian politicians, bureaucrats, and activists have done nothing more than exacerbate divisions and bind more red tape on actual, perceived, and imagined wrongs.

One step forward, two steps back...

God save India!

As you know, Dr. Kannan, a lot of the verbiage on these matters is imported from the US by Indian activists and bureaucrats.

We are seeing backlash in the US against DEI excesses, but once Trump is gone, that pendulum will swing back.

There is a conflation between race and caste here, but in India, it does not matter, for caste is the creator, sustainer, and destroyer -- the new Indian trimurti :-(

The new leela...

With regards,

Ramesh

As a point for keener observation, I would like to highlight that the regulation , unlike the SC ST atrocities act, does not help a student of a HEI belonging to the category listed in the regulation to file a case against an individual student or teacher or a non teaching officer or staff of a HEI . 

The regulation is aimed at controlling HEIs as institutions in the execution of constitutional safeguards against discrimination already provided by the constitution and the derivative rules of UGC and HEIs . Consequences as per the regulation are only to the HEI as an organization , not to any individual. 

Consequences are in the form of disincentives through reducing or cutting the grants from UGC to the HEI concerned. 

The issues to be escalated are not between individual students but between a student and the HEI in which the student is a legitimate applicant or admitted student.

While this positive aspect has missed many eyes,

wouldn't the HEI turn the heat, in turn, on the individual student/faculty

deemed responsible for such curtailment of grants?

Or, are there other checks and balances, too?
