🇮🇳 Student Free Speech Debate Intensifies at IIT Madras

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras has reportedly instructed students to remove social media posts and videos expressing solidarity with the ongoing student protests and hunger strike at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.

According to reports, several IIT Madras students had shared videos and messages on Instagram supporting the demonstrations in Delhi.

The institute's alleged directive has sparked discussion about academic freedom, freedom of expression, and the role of educational institutions in regulating student activism on social media.

The development comes amid broader debates across India regarding students' rights to participate in public discourse and express political views while enrolled in educational institutions.
