Rohit Vemula, a
bright scholar student of Hyderabad, had committed suicide. The episode has
become a national issue ever since his sad demise came into the picture. There
are lots of narratives going on from both sides. Opposition and the majority of
opposition are blaming Smriti Irani for his suicide. The government denies any
hand.
The issue seem
to be quite simple, yet there are many questions which remained to be answered.
Rohit was rusticated from the hostel. Isn’t it amazing that a student committed
suicide because he was rusticated from hostel and the entire opposition is asking
for head of the Union HRD minister and a statement in the Parliament from the
Prime Minister of India.
Meanwhile,
hundreds of students have committed suicide in India. And, no one cares for them.
Dalit or OBC
Late Rohit had
always presented himself as a Dalit. After his unfortunate demise, it came to
the notice that he was not a Dalit. The Indian media and opposition leaders
were creating lots of ‘hulla bol’ because the government action had supposedly
led to the suicide of a ‘Dalit Scholar’. But, when it came to the notice that
Rohit was not a Dalit, the narrative got changed. What is the issue if he is
not Dalit…after all, he was an Indian? But, these people should remember that
they had always disregarded questions coming from an upper class student, just
because of caste.
The issue is not
caste… it is all about politics. Sadly, Indian politicians and journalists like
Barkha and Rajdeep have sympathy for someone only on the basis of caste and
religion.
Politics on Death
If you take a
look on daily newspapers in Delhi, you will find a news about the suicide by a
student. But, you will not see Arvind Kejriwal visiting the home of that
family. But, you will find Kejriwal going to Hyderabad to question the suicide
of Rohit.
The same story
goes for Rahul Gandhi and majority of politicians.
What about Smriti Irani
Smriti had got a
letter from Dattatreya, BJP politician and a cabinet minister, about something
going on in the Hyderabad University. Actually, Rohit had organized a march in
the support of Yakub Memon. He succinctly declared a war against the Indian
judiciary which had hanged Yakub.
Rohit had never seen
a family suffered because of Bombay Bomb Blast because of which Yakub was
hanged.
ABVP protested
against the march in the support of Yakub Memon. The president of the ABVP was
brutally beaten by Rohit and his friends. You will be surprised to know that
the President of the ABVP was a Dalit who was beaten by Rohit and his friends.
But, Indian media never questioned the public thrashing of a Dalit student.
They had issue with an OBC, who maliciously claimed to be a Dalit, getting
rusticated.
The HRD ministry
forwarded the complaint to the University, which is a normal practice.
The university
disciplinary committee recommended action against Rohit and he was rusticated
from the hostel. It was not as such a big issue.
Thousands of
students in India on a daily basis get rusticated from hostels. You can check
any university to check this fact. And, after all, there is clear proof that Rohit
and his friends had organized a support march for a terrorist against the judgment
of the Supreme Court of India and then he had brutally thrashed a Dalit student;
there should have been some action. And, I think the disciplinary committee did
nothing wrong.
Girlfriend of Rohit Vemula
Rohit Vemula was
having in a relationship with a girl of the same university. According to some
sources, the prime reason behind his suicide was not rustication from the
hostel, but that girl.
Indian media
will never want this truth to come to the fore. But, as we have seen in the
Ishrat Jahan case, the truth will someday come to the fore. The real reason
behind the sad demise of Rohit will be known to the world. At that time, these
media personalities will just keep quite.
Stand of Rohit Vemula
In any case, the
death of Rohit is really tragic. A thorough probe must be done on this issue.
The government of India should give complete independence to this probe as the
India media will start to point finger once the report is out.
Here are two pictures,
taken from Rohit Facebook page, which show Rohit thinking. One picture should
make AAPtards think twice…

Let's hope that the truth will prevail. Satyamev Jayate.
