Video of IIT-Kharagpur professor hurling abuses at students kicks up a storm

We do not support such language. We will take action, says registrar

A recent video of an Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur ( IIT-KGP) professor, where she is allegedly heard abusing the students during a virtual class, has kicked up a storm on social media and among academics. In the short two-minute video clip, Seema Singh, Associate Professor of Humanities and Social Science, is heard screaming at a group of preparatory students belonging to the SC and ST communities who quietly bore the insult. “A few hours ago, I got an email in this regard. In the IIT system, we do not support such language. We will take some action,” Tamal Nath, registrar, told The Hindu.
