New Delhi, July 4: Parts of All India Institute of Medical Sciences hostels are turning into SC/ST ghettos. Reserved category students said they were being “hunted out of the remaining rooms” by upper-caste students and driven to two floors of the hostels. An engraved message on the door of Room No. 49 (Hostel 1) bears testimony to their concern. The inscription, spiced with abusive language, asks the room’s occupant Umakant — a scheduled caste student — to “get out of this (hostel) wing”.
With almost half the reserved category students since seeking reallocation of their rooms, the message seems to have worked.
The top floors of Hostel No. 4 and 5 of the country’s premier medical school have 32 rooms in all, of which 27 are occupied by SC/ST students. Of the 250 students at the institute, 55 are SC/ST.
Hostel records show that 22 of the students currently in the “ghetto” moved there only in the wake of the surcharged atmosphere of the anti-reservation agitation that started with the human resource development ministry unveiling plans for a quota for the Other Backward Classes.
“Many more want to shift there but cannot because there aren’t enough rooms for everyone,” said a student.
AIIMS authorities said they would take “necessary action”.
Sub-dean Dr Sunil Chumber said he had himself faced discrimination during his college years. “My room was broken into, and things destroyed, because I came from a reserved category,” he said.
The SC/ST students said they were scared of the consequences of their identities becoming known for speaking out against discrimination.
A senior resident doctor, who belongs to the scheduled castes, said: “We are so scared here because the director (P. Venugopal) himself is supporting them (the anti-quota agitators). We have nowhere to go to complain.”
Resident Doctors’ Association president Dr Vinod Patro, however, said there was “no discrimination on the AIIMS campus”. “It is a figment of their imagination,” Patro, who has been leading the anti-reservation agitation at AIIMS, said.
Some SC/ST students alleged that to keep them from revealing the discrimination, they were often “failed in examinations”, which acted as a threat.
“Every year on an average five of the 11 reserved category students are held back,” a resident doctor said, citing his own case, where he was one of those failed in the first year.
AIIMS rules say a student who fails twice over the five years of study cannot pursue his or her post-graduation.
The students said that for fear of their careers being destroyed they did not want to “get into the bad books of the authorities”.
“The students have no choice but to bear this humiliation quietly and pass out in five years,” said Dr Vikas Bajpai of the Medicos’ Forum for Equal Opportunity, a pro-reservation group.
A meeting of the apex decision-making body of AIIMS is scheduled tomorrow in which the ouster of Venugopal could figure. Union health minister Anmbumani Ramadoss, who wants him to go, will come face to face with the director for the first time since the stand-off over the anti-quota agitation.
I STRONGLY ASK MR ANBUMANI RAMDOSS TO TEACH THESE RACISTS A LESSON OR TWO AND THE WHOLE OBC,SC,ST and HONEST FCs are with you AND you are our great HOPE. We must show our moral and political power to this idiots of socio economic reality of the country.
Most of these medicos are casteist Brahmins.... one who reserved everything from water to land to fire sorry agni to jobs to education to rapesex (manu smirthi), voyeurism (namboodiris of Kerala) for a few thousand years and got frustrated by recent events FIGHTING FOR EQUALITY, PATRIOTISM, INDIAN ECONOMY, SOCIAL UPLIFTMENT, WOMEN EMPOWERMENT etc. ( See the bold lists. non is their original. I used to say it is a parrot community who repeated few thousands slokas from an UNSPOKEN language called SANSKRIT. Now they shamelesly copy our Periyars and Ambedkar. Real 21st Century parrots! Ki ... ki... Parrot SOUND!)

great job maan, do it for us.
I think this is where the entire education system looses its purpose.
It teaches people too many things but fails to inculcate ethics and moral in them.
If this was true, then I certainly believe that the law against caste discrimination should be enforced in a very severe manner.
But again, Chella, don't blame the Brahmins alone for the past. But for SCs/STs every one else was a culprit and SC/STs were the Victims.
BTW, leave this event (its certainly a shameful act ofcourse) have you observed the communal clashes in TN. Is it only those communities belonging to FCs who start the offence. In fact, I could authentically state the communal clashes take place between a OBC community and an SC community and within the same community as well.
India is so badly divided and some unscruplous politicians have so badly inculcated hatredness in our heart that we are never united.
Brahman and the Kaundars etc look at the others in a degraded manner. Farmers ill treat sweepers on the ground that they are superior. The sweepers ill treat the scavengers. The scavengers ill treat those working in the grave yard. If an unassuming Brahmin boy goes to a school every one else ill treat them (I myself have suffered it)
Even here every prey is a predator and every predator is a prey.
I hope its time for atleast the so-called 'Learneds' like us to join hands and effectively correct things than fight between ourselves in the name of cast. Doesn't matter who the offender was and who the Victim was in the past - let us try to stop all these stuffs and raise a unionised voice against communal clashes.
Atleast, let us try to give our education a purpose.
Thanks for exposing those Brahmin-Aryan Racists Chella !
Did you read the current issue of 'puthiya kalachaaram'It has got an excellent article about this issue.
Hope I type it upload in my blog soon :?
Sir
I wish to bring to your attention that many backward castes, most backward caste listed in Tamil Nadu's reserved caste category speak language other than Tamil. The list is seen Tamil Nadu website http://www.tn.gov.in/bcmbcmw/bclist.htm
These includes countless communities where Telugu is spoken at home, also several Kannada speaking caste and Urdu Muslim communities who essentially speak Hindi.
The chairman of Tamil Nadu's minority commision is Pyarelal Jain appointed by Karunanidhi, a Hindi-speaking Jain.
Tamil Brahmins despite being the "biggest scoundrels" according to Karunanidhi are still Tamils. How is that Karunanidhi is reaching out even to North Indians for votes by printing Hindi pamphlets in last election. Why is DMK hating Tamil Brahmins but at the sametime reaching out for North Indians residing in TN.
Many CBSE schools in Tamil Nadu continue to impose Hindi (as compulsory subject), while Tamil can be conveniently skipped. This is sharp contrast to Karnataka where all schools including CBSE school which dont teach Kannada as compulsory subject will be de-recognized. Karunanidhi has come to power the 4th time now. Still the Hindi impositition in CBSE flourishes.
Why are Tamil Nadu's ports of entry i.e airports and ports staffed by people who speak Hindi and dont know Tamil?
Why has Karunidhi failed on his promise to have mandatory Tamil annoucements on all Tamil Nadu flights.
Recently there was court case against use of Tamil as official language in TN and also opposition. Many people who oppose this are also covered under Tamil Nadu reservation.
Why are evils such as 2-tumbler system and seperate well system so prevelent in Southern TN where there is virtually no 'scoundrel' Brahmins left. It seems that amoung BC caste there is lot of descrimination and Dalits are still suffering while the bloody TN govt, Karunidhi etc are wantonly ignoring and supporting this.
It all looks like that the reservation policy is the most convenient means by "Tamil" politicians to destroy Tamil, Tamil society for their personal gains.
Tamil patriots would have done something great if they had reservation for one Tamil caste in TN rather than commercial certificates which many non-Tamil speaker can purchase.
i am a tamil brahmin and what is you say is absolute nonsense.Brahmins have always been weak in Tamilnadu , and the most violent castes would be devars,nadars etc.Like seriously when was the last time u saw a brahmin rowdy.Tamilnadu has a program of cultural genocide and reservation is cowardice.Since u dont study as well as us,u need to reserve seats.Dont u tell u what we r aryan dravidian or be it watever this is my country too and the land of my fathers so stop ranting.
fuck this reagionalistic peice shit.I am a Indian citizen and i speak any language i want.
The reactions against so called SC/ST
happens in Higher Institutes more because of the frustration of the people who worked hard and got there and see that few people who ha scored
less marks then quite a few of their friend and still getting admission and the friend of them who got more marks denied admission because of reservation .
This Incidents has been more because of the undue advantage given to so called ST/Sc/OBC people while most of these people comes from well to do families .
Reservation is spreading hatred among communities instead of reducing it.
I am amused and flattered that someone feels threatened by Brahmins. The fact is, they are a small section of the population and usually have no political clout.
The reservation system in India which explicitly discriminates against forward castes is probably the only one of its kind in the world. It also serves to intensify the very social injustice you have complained about.
If you truly want to eradicate social inequality, first level the playing field. Make sure everyone has equal opportunity to gain basic education, and only the best get into institutions with limited seats (irrespective of caste).
