Casteist slogans have been raised by the students of Haryana's Ashoka University at the campus, sparking a flood of questions and criticism on social media. As multiple videos of the slogan-shouting in the university corridors surfaced on X, formerly Twitter -- most of them directed at Brahmins and Baniyas - the actions of the students were widely condemned. This is very very shocking if true why is there so much caste hatred in @AshokaUniv ? Will @sbikh Pl take action to stop such hatred, if true? @dpradhanbjp Govt should look into why such hatred prevails? How can universities keep quiet? https://t.co/7hEGtcNfvv
In a statement, the university said it "attaches great value to freedom of expression and vigorous debate, but it also attaches great importance to mutual respect".
"The University will take all measures necessary to ensure that peace and harmony in the campus is not disturbed."
