Hyderabad: Recently, the Union government announced new University Grants Commission (UGC) regulations aimed at addressing caste-based discrimination in higher education institutions. Under the proposed rules, all universities and colleges must constitute committees to address complaints related to caste discrimination and promote equity on campuses. Demonstrations were also held at the UGC headquarters, with some protesters alleging that the regulations could lead to misuse. Student organisations, including the All-India Students’ Association (AISA), have issued statements both supporting and opposing the regulations, sparking wider debate. Amid this backdrop, a nighttime torchlight procession video began circulating on social media, with the claim that it shows protests in Bihar against BJP policies and the UGC’s equity regulations.
