New Delhi: Delhi Police used force to stop a protest march organised by the Students’ Federation of India (SFI), which was demanding social justice and an end to caste discrimination in higher education.
According to Global Mirror, the march was held to press the Indian Ministry of Education to take political responsibility for implementing the UGC Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions Regulations, 2026, taking decisive action against entrenched caste discrimination on university campuses, and enacting the Rohith Act to ensure institutional accountability.
The protest was held in the backdrop of a recent UGC report that acknowledged a disturbing rise in caste-based discrimination across higher education institutions in India.
