This special report explores the growing tension at Delhi University following the introduction of new University Grants Commission (UGC) norms aimed at curbing caste-based discrimination. Students protesting the regulations expressed fears of ‘reverse discrimination’ and the potential weaponisation of complaints, with one student stating, ‘The burden of proof will come on the general caste.’ Conversely, other students and faculty members defended the norms as a necessary step toward social inclusion, questioning why an act intended to stop discrimination is being viewed as an attack on specific groups. The report, filed by Anjali Pandey, highlights a significant clash of perceptions on campus, where one side views the rules as a correction of historical injustice while the other fears a new sense of exclusion. The programme examines whether policy makers can successfully ensure campus inclusion without deepening existing social divides or creating fresh grievances among the student body.
