Mr. Vemula allegedly committed suicide on January 17, a fortnight after he was expelled from his hostel, along with four researchers by the University authorities. The five Dalit students of Ambedkar Students Association (ASA) were on a sleep-in strike on the campus since their expulsion.

Addressing protestors here, Suresh B.P., leader of Bahujan Vidyarthi Sangha, said that the death of Vemula was due to his expulsion by the university authorities.

It was the inhuman attitude of the administration of the university, which had led to the unnatural death. The entire administration of the University was responsible for it, he said.

Jayan Malpe, convener of district unit of Karnataka Dalit Sangharsh Samiti, said that the death of Mr. Vemula showed that casteism was still rampant in the society. The harsh action of expulsion showed the callous attitude of the University towards the Dalits.

The mindset of some persons was such that they did not want Dalits to get higher education.

Mr. Vemula came from a humble background as his mother was a farm worker. Some Hindu seers always asserted that there was no casteism in Hindu society. “If the death of Mr. Vemula is not a result of casteism, what is it? The atrocities on Dalits have not ceased in the country, no matter how much claims of development the Union government makes” Mr. Malpe said.

Supreme Court grants bail to 17 Gujarat mass massacre CONVICTS, asks admin to find them work

News Network

January 28,2020

New Delhi, Jan 28: The Supreme Court of India today granted bail to 17 convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002 Gujarat massacre case, pending their appeal before the Supreme Court.

The convicts also have to participate in social and spiritual services, said the court, announcing the riders for bail.

The Bench of Chief Justice of India SA Bobde and Justices BR Gavai and Surya Kant directed for the convicts to be segregated into two groups to be sent to Indore and Jabalpur.

District legal authorities in Indore and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh have been asked to ensure that the convicts do the spiritual and social work the court has asked for.

The Supreme Court has also asked the administration to find them work for livelihood. The state legal services authority has been asked to file a compliance report as also report on their conduct.

The case concerns the mass killing of 33 innocent Muslims - mostly women and children - who were burnt alive at Sardarpura village in March 2002.

This was part of the mass massacre that swept through Gujarat in the aftermath of the death of train passengers on Sabarmati Express in Godhra on Feb 27, 2002. Thousands of innocent Muslims were killed and raped in the three-day violence. The victims include hundreds of children including newborns.

In 2016, the Gujarat High Court had upheld the conviction of 17 accused in the Sardarpura massacre case.

Earlier, a Special SIT court had convicted a total of 31 persons in the case, after three years of trial against 73 persons from Sardarpura and nearby villages.
