On this Special Report, the focus is on the escalating protests at Delhi University against the University Grants Commission’s (UGC) new equity regulations. Students from the general category have labeled the norms a ‘black law,’ expressing fears of ‘reverse discrimination’ and the potential weaponisation of complaints due to confidential identities and the shifted burden of proof. National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) President Varun Choudhary defended the regulations, stating, ‘We are about equality, talking about equality,’ while highlighting that 70% of OBC professor vacancies remain unfilled due to systemic discrimination. The programme examines the clash of perceptions between those viewing the norms as a correction of historical injustice and those fearing new forms of exclusion. The report also notes political friction, with the BJP attacking Congress’s support for the norms while citing Prime Minister Modi’s 10% EWS quota for the upper-caste poor as the alternative approach to inclusive growth.
