Dalit student held for social media post against Ram Mandir event in Mumbai

On January 22, a Dalit student of the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai, voiced his opposition to holding a Ram Temple celebratory event on the campus and persuaded 34 others to post it from their respective social media platforms, addressing the institution’s director SK



Singh.

The Dalit student’s post read, “IIPS is a multicultural campus annually organising various celebrations which includes Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussehra, Christmas, etc which epitomises the promise of grooming a secular young generation who can contribute prosperity to a diversified nation-state like India.”
