Savitri Phule Ambedkar Caravan (SPAC) is organizing a panel discussion on Institutional Casteism on 17th January 2021
About the event: A note from SPAC
On 17th January 2016, Rohith Chakravarti Vemula, a Dalit student and a Ph.D. scholar at the University of Hyderabad committed suicide. The events that followed Rohith’s death unmasked the tragedy of institutional casteism in India. As students, and more generally as citizens of India, we believe that it is our responsibility to understand and eliminate instances of institutional casteism. But for this, it is imperative for us to understand what it is and how it operates.
SPAC considers that the best way to honour Rohith’s memory is by educating people. With this purpose, SPAC humbly extends an invitation for a Panel Discussion on ‘Institutional Casteism’ on 17th January 2021 at 6 pm.
The panel will be witnessed by an open audience. Through this initiative, SPAC hopes to engage with the issues of Bahujan students and come up with ways to make university spaces as safe and accessible as possible. In pursuance of this, we have invited various heads of institutions, students, academics, activists, lawyers, and professionals to be a part of the event. We are excited that Dr. Sudhir Krishnaswamy, Vice-Chancellor, NLSIU, will also be addressing the audience. We humbly invite you to be a part of the discussion that is not just important, but also necessary and indispensable to engage with.
Themes
The Panel Discussion will be based on the following sub-themes:
1) Rise of Right-wing politics in India and its Impact on Higher Education
2) The pervasiveness of Casteism in Universities and Academia
3) Issues of Affirmative Action and Reservation (in IITs, NLUs, and other elite institutions)
4) The merit of Caste and Caste of Merit: Defining Merit in Indian Higher
