Vicks57 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) After PhD in Zoology, the complainant got appointed as lecturer in 2008. He alleged that he was first accused in a "fictitious financial matter" in 2014, following which he asked the institute director to fire him. To exact revenge, he claimed he was honey trapped and later dismissed on sexual harassment charges for calling a woman "beautiful. The decision was arrived at without an NGO representative on the Sexual Harassment Complaints Committee. A later investigation by a SC/ST Karnataka Legislative Assembly committee revealed no sexual harassment in 2017, adding that Durgappa was singled out since he belongs to the Dalit community. Requests to be reinstated in 2017 and 2020 went unheard and were later met with threats of police action. The complaint further stated that the IISc director had not fired anyone but the complainant despite the fact that there are almost thirty sexual harassment accusations against IISc teachers. Durgappa also alleged that the IISc Director also allotted no money for research by SC/ST faculty between 1970 and 2024, adding that anyone who inquires about Scheduled Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) funds is threatened. No SC/ST faculty members are hired and the funds are used for international travels, he alleged. The complainant brought a report about caste discrimination, harassment, and atrocities to the attention of the Commissioner of Police, but the Deputy Commissioner of Police did nothing about it, the complaint states. Further, when the matter was in the Karnataka High Court, the complainant claimed to have been threatened by the advocates representing IISc. The complaint also said that despite the Assembly ordering his reinstatement, the same has not been implemented by the institute director, rendering Durgappa jobless for 10 years. He added that despite filing around 5,000 complaints with various agencies and departments, he awaits action.

Hope the investigation happens without bias and truth comes out. Whether these people are convicted or not, name of the brand 'Infosys' is getting dragged through the mud now.

gattaca Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) India is joke of a country. SC/ST laws are misused so often. There is a report even claiming that. Many false cases have been registered. If you don’t like someone register sc/st case. Osmania university in Telangana has sc/st folks exploiting benefits. They marry and raise kids while doing PHD and they don’t clear it because free money with stipend. There is no limit to how long you complete your PHD. So they stay so long while working a side job and finally the professors pass them out of compulsion to provide more space to new students. People who work hard and pay taxes are paying for these benefits. Reservations are worst kind of DEI in India. Competition creates innovation no wonder no innovation happens in India. All the people who study well and work hard they leave India can you blame them ? Edited January 31 by gattaca Vicks57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Dalits are treated is a shame to every hindu. Look at the attitude of educated Indians. No common sense. No empathy. An educated young "Thakur" man says he won't drink water from a sweeper. Another uncle says that only Brahmins should gain knowledge and shudras should do service. Another Brahmin in Delhi-NCR gives water from his bathroom for his dalit worker who refused to drink that water. Reservation is to provide adequate representation to the discriminated castes. Lots of casteist morons are in all forms of government arms. Edited January 31 by Vicks57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indian Constitution very clearly has setout reservation for SC ST till equality is achieved. Don’t think u can call someone educated if he believes in caste system(specially untouchability) Edited February 4 by mishra Vicks57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think based on past experience we should exclude universities and professional institutions lecturer, professors, HODs , VCs, We sould also exlude people from aerospace,medical, scientific, research and defence fraternity. I think these people run higher risk of getting targeted by woke Cabal and foreign hands PS: OBCs practice untouchability as wel wrt SC ST. SCs practice untouchability with STs too. So problem is deper and cant be resolved by one caste Edited February 4 by mishra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbestfriend Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Sc/ST case should be abolished completely, it is nothing but misuse. It is draconian law that should be repealed, I am guessing 99% of the cases on SC/ST act are fake cases. In our apartment, one owner has not paid the maintenance for last 8 years because he has put a false atrocity case on office bearers of association when went and asked about maintenance...I was also victim of this , when one of the member , who I didn't know about his caste, put a false complaint about atrocity on me for sending an whatsapp message in apartment group questioning his statement...Time has come where we need to water down this law, but no one will dare to do it. mishra, AuxiliA, diga and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to hear. There are many such stories in the news on a daily basis. This one takes the cake: Man Spends 20 Years In Jail On False Rape And SC/ST Atrocities Charges, Couldn't Attend Father's Funeral https://swarajyamag.com/insta/man-spends-20-years-in-jail-on-false-rape-and-scst-atrocities-charges-couldnt-attend-fathers-funeral " While being in prison, Tiwari has not just lost his youth phase of life, he also lost his father and a brother. His condition did not even allow him to attend the funeral of his family members. Only in 2020, the jail authorities approached the state legal service authority to appeal in the high court. He was acquitted by a division bench of justices Kaushal Jayendra Thaker and Gautam Chaudhary in January 2021. While delivering the judgement, the court observed that there was a delay of three days in FIR, there were no injuries on private parts of the victim, the complaint was filed by husband and father-in-law of the woman, and there was a "motive on the part of the complainant" related to land dispute. " BJP in the first term tried to change the act and remove some of the draconian parts, there were street protests and BJP had to clarify that they are only strengthening the act even further. mishra, Lord and AuxiliA 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
