Скачать или смотреть Protest against UGC Bill pass in Lucknow University 😱

Widespread protests have recently erupted across Indian university campuses and major cities against the UGC (Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions) Regulations, 2026, notified on 13 January 2026.
Core Reasons for Protests
The demonstrations are primarily led by general category students and groups like the Savarna Sena. Key grievances include:
Exclusionary Definitions: Regulation 3(c) defines caste-based discrimination exclusively as discrimination against SC, ST, and OBC members, which critics argue denies protection to general category students.
Lack of Safeguards: Protesters allege the rules lack mechanisms to penalise false complaints and shift the burden of proof unfairly onto the accused.
"Surveillance" Concerns: The mandatory creation of "Equity Squads" and monitoring teams is seen by some as creating an atmosphere of constant surveillance.
Institutional Bias: Grievance redressal bodies (Equity Committees) are required to have representation from reserved categories but not necessarily from the general category.
Latest Developments (January 2026)
Supreme Court Stay: On 29 January 2026, the Supreme Court stayed the implementation of the 2026 Regulations, flagging them as "vague" and "capable of misuse". The 2012 regulations will remain in effect until the next hearing on 19 March 2026.
Nationwide Unrest: Protests have been particularly intense at Delhi University, Lucknow University, and in cities like Patna and Prayagraj. In Kaushambi, a protester reportedly wrote a letter to the Prime Minister in blood.
Political Fallout: Several BJP office-bearers in Uttar Pradesh have resigned in protest, calling the rules "divisive".
Government Assurance: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has assured that the rules will not be misused and that no discrimination will be allowed against anyone.
Counter-Protests
Conversely, groups like the All India Students' Association (AISA) have held "Equity Marches" to protest against the Supreme Court's stay, arguing that the regulations are essential for institutionalizing social justice.
