REPLUG: ‘From Shadows to Stars’: Tribute to Rohith Vemula After 10 Years
Rohith Vemula, a young Dalit scholar at the Hyderabad Central University died by suicide on January 17, 2016. His death shook the conscience of the entire nation and led to massive protests, setting off a chain of events that continue to be relevant for the Dalit movement in the country even today. The demand for a nation-wide Rohith Vemula Act against discrimination of marginalised students in higher education remains unfulfilled even 10 years after his death.
On his tenth death anniversary, we replug this tribute by the Indian Cultural Forum.
