IIT-Delhi Probes Caste and Race Conference

IIT-Delhi is investigating a conference about caste and race that happened on their campus.

The conference talked about how caste and race affect people's lives and how to fight against discrimination.

Some people on social media complained about the conference, and now the university is looking into it.

The conference was organized by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, which is part of IIT-Delhi.

The university values humanities and social sciences as much as science and technology.

The conference also talked about a big meeting that happened in Durban, South Africa, in 2001, where countries discussed racism and caste discrimination.

Some people think that talking about these topics is important for understanding and fighting inequality.

Others might think that these topics are controversial or uncomfortable to discuss.

The university's decision to investigate the conference raises questions about academic freedom and whether universities should be able to host discussions about difficult topics.
