His child Aniket Ambhore died in 2014 in IITB. After 12 years, the campus remains just as unsafe for students from marginalised backgrounds.
The failure to tackle campus casteism is a deliberate choice. And the admin should be held to account for this failure.
This is Aniket father yesterday- in solidarity with Sahil Wakode's parents protesting the deaths of their son exactlty 1 month earlier, at IT Bombay
12 years ago - Aniket Ambhore's parents also lost their son at IT Bombay. Aniket was also a dalit student who had died by suicide at IIT bombay at least 12 years ago, in 2014.

Violent crackdown on Ambedkarite & anticaste activists today at IIT Bombay is shocking.
50+ students have died on IIT campuses. A student's parents are on a hunger strike for justice against a prof who didnt follow establish protocol. Instead of working transparently & introspecting its casteist culture-- IIT Bombay & Police detained activists & protestors violently & hassled the parents.
When institutions become more important than students. When people dont ask what is structurally wrong & instead caste-shame a dead student & his grieving parents-- you know you are in a morally dead society. No high-fancy rhetoric can rebrand or rescue it.
Jai Bhim.

IDF style use of the female body in propaganda to pinkwash political violence - yuck.

Imagine protesting a mine, only to discover your signature, your deceased parents’ signatures, and almost the entire village’s have allegedly been forged to manufacture consent for it.
An explosive investigation by @mhassanism !

Rohith Vemula. Payal Tadvi. Countless names never learnt. Invisibilisation of institutional violence against students from Dalit and other oppressed sections is caste consciousness. Deaths, an occasional mention; the struggle of justice, ignored. #CasteViolence #DalitLivesMatter

Dalit students studying abroad hope to escape oppressive caste hierarchies, only to find that the dominant-caste diaspora has exported its prejudice into classrooms and social settings across borders.

vivid and excellent illustration of the limits of identity-based feminism when it doesn't include the labour/capital foundation

Solidarity with Ankita's parents. They must not be silenced. Once again a sexual abuser linked to a murder cases is being rewarded by BJP!
#JusticeForAnkitaBhandari
Ankita Bhandari was murdered solely to satisfy the lust of an elderly, depraved politician.
Is the BJP govt. is shielding the primary culprit responsible for her death?

Rahul Sonpimple and several other Ambedkarite leaders and activists have been detained by the Mumbai Police. @Sonpimplerahul
Rahul Sonpimple, Deepali Salve and Sambhaji Bhagat among leaders detained from IIT Mumbai. Only demand from the leaders was that they be allowed to give a representation to IIT Mumbai administration @frontline_india

A few days ago, @abhijeet_dipke was showering praise on Mumbai Police and calling it the best police force. The same police has now detained @deepali_writes, @Sonpimplerahul and every single protester at @iitbombay demanding justice for Sahil Wakode.

Revolution is not “aura” photos - revolution is putting your own grief on hold to fight for the dismantling of an oppressive system.
Sahil Wakode’s parents are revolutionaries and they are fighting to make IITB accountable for casteism.
Join them at Azad Maidan
12 days of systemic failure. 12 days of protected Casteism.
Don't mistake our patience for weakness, we’re not asking for crumbs anymore, we’re demanding total accountability. Burn the silence down.

You can't take our smiles away from us. Beat us, our fists shall always be raised. Tear our shirts, we shall convert it into mufflers. Tear Bhagat Singh's photos, we shall keep him alive through our struggles and lives!
With my President, comrade Nadia.
