💨 Abstract

A Dalit student, Shivam Sonkar, has been protesting for 14 days at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) over alleged denial of PhD admission. Sonkar secured the second position in an entrance test for six PhD seats in the Department of Peace and Conflict Studies, but no seats were reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates, and all three available seats were given to General and OBC candidates.
