IIM Grads Unite Against Quota
IIM Grads Unite Against Quota
IIM students on Thursday joined ranks with medical students to protest the OBC quota proposal. Unlike AIIMS medicos, who braved tear-gas shells and water canons in New Delhi, the protest by BMA students was unexpectedly sedate. “Very corporate style,” as a passer-by commented.
A group of around 70 students, claiming to represent, 470 students of the institute, walked across the campus holding fliickering candles as a mark of protest and at the end of it they called a customary press conference where journalists were handed out a well-scripted press note. The students steered clear of any controversy and made it known that they did not represent the institute nor each and every student of IIMA. At IIMB, about 300 students participated in candlelight protest. At JIMC the scene was no different. Students marched through the campus with candle lights. Till the last reports came in, even IIMI students were planning a candlelight protest rally.
