Do you feel being left out or alienation on the campus?

If yes please try to write the reasons you think are responsible for this, also try to describe in short the feeling and activities or events that trigger it.

The purpose of this is purely academic, feel free to share with your friends so that more responses are available.

There are people on campus who feel the same as you and they are there to share your experiences, when our friends on campus are pushed to an edge, some people including student council prefers doing fake expression of sympathy on Instagram and mail, administration even doesn't care. The change is gradual process and it requires continuous action, trying to understand the situation and explain it to others.

Thanks 🙏

So, what are we going to do about the increased hostel and amenities charges?

Want to know what people on campus think about it? There is clearly no way to raise concerns, at least let's listen to each other.

I would appreciate your opinion on cooking in hostels....

I know it is not permitted for so-called safety reasons (no, they want profit for mess guys).

But I am not satisfied with the food; it is good, but not what I would like to eat daily. I have been in A and E and am currently in B. I am planning to buy a 650 W multi-cook kettle to plan my own menu and keep track of expenses.

Did anyone try it before? How is it going?

That's the reason 'they' don't allow students to unite under student unions.

First worm and then cockroach was found in B mess, overcrowding is there, but students are so tamed that adminstration can simply ignore the issues. We need to change the culture.

How is the E mess as compared to A???

A mess is good, but it isn't satisfying; everything tastes the same, at least to me. I was considering switching to C since its menu is closer to A, but I am worried that the unsatisfied crowd from B will jump to C, and the same situation might arise there, too. The E menu seems quite good, so I'm asking opinions.

Could you help me out? I need part-time work or even volunteering opportunities.

I am a student here in the institute. My weekends are often spent doing nothing fulfilling. I am looking for opportunities to work on weekends for some time.

My only problem is that I can't give more than a few hours on weekends. I intend to break out of loneliness and impending poverty (not clinical loneliness or literal poverty).

I am well aware of clubs and sporting activities on campus. I have tried them, but I am finding it difficult to adapt to "a new way of interacting".

Read only if you want to understand better by position:
What do I mean by "a new way of interacting"?

I was born and raised in a family below the poverty line. My education till graduation has been in rural settings in my hometown. Never in my life have I spoken English or Hindi to talk with friends. The experience here is overwhelming. I have gained weight, and my complexion and health have improved. I used to live in a single room with 5 people, and now I have my OWN room. That is all well and good, but economically, I depend solely on myself; I do send the remaining amount back home. This has limited my access to many things in the city or on campus.

I want to interact with commoners in the city (I am learning Kannada) and also earn a few bucks. This is not anything new; that's how I used to live, and I want to be that way only. Even if the money part can be ignored, volunteering opportunities would also work.

Please give me some suggestions or contacts.

Guys they are trying to punish us!!!

  1. Pralhad Joshi might be worse than Pradhan (brahmanvad)

  2. Memebers of AISA from Bihar detained (attack on left)

  3. Junaid bhai was detained and his family interrogated (attack on Muslims)

  4. And then this RHA shit - they are now openly demanding scraping reservation

It reminds me of Babasaheb's words that more or less Indian history has been revolving around conflict between bahujans and brahmins.

It seems as if they are counter attacking bahujans, kind of punishment for raising their voice against injustice.

It's really tough time

Now how to get AaparID for demographic details?

PG admission portal has added demographic details section and it asks for mandatory AaparID. ABC id can be understood, but aapar has to be made in school itself isn't it? And when I was in school this thing didn't exist or my school didn't ask us to do that. What should be done??

Doubt regarding hostels allocation.

When we arrive to IISc we would be carrying luggage with us and also would be tired from travel. As per notification hostel allocation will follow after document verification. But is it possible to get directly to hostel office - get hostel keys put luggage get fresh and then proceed to document verification???

Washing machines, how to get them?

I have heard that washing machines are shared by several individuals and they have to be purchased from seniors. Is there any WhatsApp group to get in? Will people from same department get nearby rooms?

Is research only for privileged individuals?

I come from a family below poverty line, I was lucky enough to complete my B.Tech solely on govt help. I had a job in hand, and a PSU interview letter, I left both for MTech at IISc. I sounds ridiculous and many people suggested me not to do this, but it was my necessity. I had no life at all till now. Over caring and toxic parenting had destroyed my individuality and it was necessary to get disconnected from family in all aspects and get some life. IISc allowed me to do exactly that. My family has no financial dependence on me for next two years and nor do I depend on them (thanks to less fees at IISc as compared to IITs). I am inclined towards research and ideally I want to get a PhD. However I don't see it feasible considering that I won't be able to ignore my family for long. Is it possible to earn atleast 60k - 80k monthly while doing PhD??? PMRF is dead for my domain and moving to foreign requires lot of capital which I would try to manage but can't guarantee.

Is it not possible to make solid career in research without previlage?

Will the BJP spokesperson face same consequences as comedians? Fascism is closer than it appears!!!

Act: Kunal Kamra sang sarcastic song on deputy CM of Maharashtra

Consequences: venue demolished, threats

Act:Ranbeer Allahabadia made a vulgar joke on YouTube video

Consequences: Ranbeer Allahabadia had to appear before court, Samay Raina had to appear before court, venue was demolished

Act: Audience in the show of Pranit made a vulgar joke

Consequences: FIR on Pranit More, both of them who made jokes lost the Job

Act: BJP spokespersons and BJP news anchors appear drunk, semi dressed on national television, use vulgar language

Consequences: nothing

It seems, public outrage is being systematically used to silence "UNFILTERED" comedians and discourage participation of the audience.

Comedians like massom rajwani, Abhishek walia and few others are delivering content capable of poking holes in fascist propaganda of RSS. Clearly machinery isn't happy with it.

It's okay to criticize the vulgarity of comedians, but the audience losing jobs, demolition of venues, FIRs, court hearings as 'punishment' reflects fascist tendencies in Indian politics.

It's my observation, very crude obviously, please share more insights....
