Why Are Students Protesting Against UGC? 🚫 False Complaints Issue Explained.

Описание: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has just released strict new rules to stop caste discrimination in colleges. But instead of praise, these rules have triggered massive protests across India, with the hashtag #UGCRollBack trending online. Why are General Category students and groups like Karni Sena angry?.

◾​The Big Debate:
In this video, we decode the controversy between "Social Justice" and "Fear of Misuse."

◾​What are the New Rules?
🔸​Expanded Protection: For the first time, UGC explicitly includes OBCs (Other Backward Classes) along with SCs and STs in the definition of caste discrimination.
🔸​Strict Action: Colleges must now set up an "Equal Opportunity Cell" and an "Equity Committee". If a complaint is filed, the committee must meet within 24 hours.
🔸​Punishment: Colleges that fail to act can lose their UGC funding or recognition.

◾​Why the Anger? (The Controversy)
🔸​The "False Complaint" Issue: The earlier draft had a rule to punish false complaints. That rule was removed in the final version. Critics argue this allows for misuse against General Category students without consequence.
🔸​One-Sided? A petition in the Supreme Court argues that the rules assume discrimination only happens against reserved categories, leaving General Category students with no protection if they face hostility.
🔸​Politics: With elections coming up in Uttar Pradesh, groups like the Brahmin Mahasabha are calling this "anti-upper caste".

◾​The Government's Stand:
🔸The UGC says these rules are necessary because caste discrimination complaints have risen by 118% in the last 5 years. They argue this is about safety and dignity, not politics.

Latest update by Supreme Court:

​Conclusion:
◾Is this a necessary step for equality, or a draconian law that ignores the rights of the General Category? Let's debate in the comments.
