On this Special Report, former University Grants Commission (UGC) member Yogendra Yadav weighs in on the intensifying controversy surrounding the new UGC equity norms. As protests erupt across India over claims that the rules risk dividing students along caste lines, Yadav offers a sharp critique of the government’s role. He stated, ‘This instance is an instance of manufactured dissent, how a regime is trying to cultivate dissent against its own decision so that it can be diluted.’ Yadav argues that the anti-discrimination framework has existed since 2012 and that the current changes are merely a result of a 2019 Supreme Court mandate rather than a proactive step by the government. The discussion also highlights the demands from the Congress party for a caste census and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s assurance that the law will not be misused. The programme explores whether the backlash is a genuine student grievance or a calculated political move to reconsider social justice regulations.
