 Summary of this article
- University Grants Commission (UGC) on January 13, one can either conclude that upper caste student groups are so well organised that within a day they can hit the streets.
- The power of majoritarian governance lies not only in setting the dominant discourse but also in determining the counter-narratives and the counter-publics.
- Home Minister Amit Shah emphasises the significance of returning to the mother tongue even as the National Education Policy (NEP) makes way for the three-language formula
Given the alacrity with which protests emerged against the regulations for the Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions, 2026, by the University Grants Commission (UGC) on January 13, one can either conclude that upper caste student groups are so well organised that within a day they can hit the streets, or these are manufactured protests by the powers that be. I would prefer to read and interpret them as orchestrated protests that fit a longstanding strategy and narrative of the BJP-RSS combine. If one comprehends the larger context, one can make better sense than the kind of desperation shown by the Dalit-Bahujan counter-narrative.
