Between empathy and social dominance: sensitising the IITs
9 hours ago Parents, educators, and teens are all asking some version of the same question: If AI can write the essay, build the spreadsheet, and draft the business plan, which skills actually matter now? It’s the right question. One-third of employers now say they are replacing entry-level roles with AI, …
The Higher, The Lower: India's Entrenched Caste Hierarchy Feels Challenged By UGC Guidelines
Home National The higher the lower indias entrenched caste hierarchy feels challenged by ugc guidelines The recent University Grants Commission regulations advocating equity on campuses across the country were rolled back after unprecedented protests by upper caste groups. N.
Robbing An Arab Spring
The essay argues that education should nurture leadership, critical thinking, and democratic values, not merely focus on market-driven skill development and job placements — a trend increasingly visible in India’s post-liberalisation private education system. It highlights how student movements, such as Jayaprakash Narayan’s 1970s movement and the 1990s Mandal agitation, have historically played crucial roles in promoting social justice, equality, and political reform.

Stabilization of Ring Structures of C9 with the Doping of a Metal Atom: An Ab Initio Study
We report the results of ab initio calculations on the doping of a metal atom (Li, Be, Mg, and Al) in ring and chain structures of C9. Pure C9 has a chain structure, and it remains so with the doping of a Li atom. However, when a Be, Mg, or Al atom is doped, a ring structure such as BeC9 with the metal atom in the ring becomes most favorable. We also explored the stabilization of a cyclic structure of C9 with endohedral doping of these metal atoms.
Penalty‐free discontinuous Galerkin method
In this article, we present a new high-order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, in which neither a penalty parameter nor a stabilization parameter is needed. We refer to this method as penalty-free DG. In this method, the trial and test functions belong to the broken Sobolev space, in which the functions are in general discontinuous on the mesh skeleton and do not meet the Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Stress‐hybrid virtual element method on quadrilateral meshes for compressible and nearly‐incompressible linear elasticity
In this article, we propose a robust low-order stabilization-free virtual element method on quadrilateral meshes for linear elasticity that is based on the stress-hybrid principle. We refer to this approach as the stress-hybrid virtual element method (SH-VEM). In this method, the Hellinger–Reissner variational principle is adopted, wherein both the equilibrium equations and the strain-displacement relations are variationally enforced.
Academic Orphans: Caste And Recruitment In Delhi University
On April 26, 2023, Samarveer Singh died by suicide. His death made it to newspaper headlines as he was a teacher of philosophy albeit ad hoc at the prestigious Hindu College affiliated with Delhi University (DU), recognised as an Institution of Eminence. Gradually, the news filtered out—how he was rendered jobless after interviews were held for permanent positions, his six-year-long teaching experience notwithstanding.
Caste Aspersions
Big Story The author minces no words over why so many students from underprivileged sections are taking their lives on campuses — it’s a cruel world of discrimination that refuses to recognise its sins | Published 30.04.23, 05:39 AM In April 2021, an incident of a teacher hurling casteist abuses at students during an online class at IIT Kharagpur went viral on social media.

The Hindutva Project to 'Purify' Campuses Is Underway
Now that the Hindutva state is upon us in all but name, the powers that be are complacent and believe that they can put up their feet up and relax. After all, they have the required numbers in Parliament to enforce any legal measure in a ‘democratic’ manner. However, much to their chagrin, scores of students descended onto the streets of the capital. JNU students hold Delhi to ransom – screamed a news bulletin.
Epistemic Battles in Academia: The Semiotics of Knowledge Production
The ancient world considered land as the paramount resource and wars were waged to capture more territories. For the industrialized societies, capital was the source of sustenance but in the modern era, privilege and power based on knowledge is the magic mantra, the currency of socio-economic relations. As Churchill once observed, "The empires of the future are going to be the empires of the mind"1.
Why I Introduced Kancha Ilaiah's Books in the DU Political Science Course
Delhi University’s standing committee for academic affairs has recommended that the word ‘Dalit’ be replaced with “bahujan’, “ambedkarwadi” or “scheduled caste” in books used by post graduate political science students. It recommended that three “controversial” books written by activist and academic Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd also be dropped from the reading list of political science students. N.
