Dalit PG students were rebuked and even roughed up by others when they cooked any non-vegetarian food in hostels during certain festival days,” said Sudarshan, a research scholar enrolled in Arts College.

He said that the issue came to his notice when some sections of the student community on campus complained about the same. “On March 11, I requested some senior teachers to get in touch with them and asked them to stop the exercise as this would create tension on campus,” said Satyanarayana.
