Not every fight starts on the street.
Some start in a classroom.
Arun Kumar, a student at Kerala University, is chasing one dream — a PhD in Sanskrit, one of India’s oldest languages.
But his journey turned into a nightmare.
💔 WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE THE DEPARTMENT
Arun comes from a lower-caste family.
The head of the Sanskrit department — the man supposed to guide him — allegedly turned against him.
Arun says:
He was called dirty names again and again.
His scholarship was stopped.
He was locked out of classes.
The professor even slapped him once.
Worst: “I’ll make you fail,” said the man who controls his marks.
That’s not education. That’s abuse in a robe.
⚖️ WHAT THE LAW SAYS
India has strict laws:
✅ No caste discrimination in education.
✅ No mental or physical harassment by teachers.
Yet, this happened inside a university.
The place meant to build thinkers — not break them.
🔥 HOW ARUN FOUGHT BACK
He didn’t stay silent.
He went to:
Police 🚔
University authorities
Kerala Governor’s office
Now, students are on the streets shouting:
“Punish the bad teacher!”
A full probe is on.
If the claims are true → the professor could lose his job or even face jail under the SC/ST Act.
🧠 WHY THIS STORY MATTERS
Because this isn’t about Sanskrit.
It’s about respect.
It’s about power used wrong.
It’s about a student who refused to be silent.
Education is not a privilege of caste.
It’s the right of effort.
💬 My Take
I (Faiz) always say — degrees measure knowledge, not dignity.
Every time hate enters a classroom, learning dies a little.
Kerala, known for literacy, now faces its hardest lesson yet —
Equality must not just be taught. It must be lived.
𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘇 𝗜𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶 | 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲.𝗶𝗻
Because words can build awareness — or silence it.
