The IIT Bombay crisis reveals why student welfare cannot be separated from voice, dissent and institutional accountability | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Universities have learnt to speak the language of care. Counselling centres, wellness programmes, mentors, grievance cells and student-support systems are now familiar features of campus life. Their expansion is welcome. But the meaning of care becomes more complicated when a student is not merely seeking support, but questioning the institution that is supposed to provide it. The recent events at IIT Bombay bring that contradiction into sharp focus. BTech student Sahil Wakode died by suicide on
The Safety Gap: Why Public Spaces Still Fail Women | Countercurrents (opens the original)
