Caste discrimination in SVU? http://www.indiapress.org/gen/news.php/The_Hindu/400x60/0
Special Correspondent TIRUPATI: Sri Venkateswara University is caught in yet another controversy. The row this time is over the alleged caste discrimination shown against university Registrar C. K. Mohan Rao at a function organised by the university's Centre for Gandhian Studies to celebrate Gandhi Jayanti and the International Day of Non-violence. The Registrar's complaint was that the organisers who invited on to the dais university's Rector K. Sivasankar Reddy among others 'deliberately' failed to extend him the same courtesy just because he happened to belong to a Scheduled Tribe. Taking serious exception to the alleged protocol violation and 'humiliation', the Registrar reportedly left the venue in a huff. Meanwhile, the All India Students Federation strongly condemned the incident and said that it once against exposed the increasing incidence of caste-discrimination in SVU.
