AISA and RYA marched in Patna in solidarity on 19 Feb. with Darshan Solanki's family for justice and condemned the institutional murder of Darshan Solanki, an 18-year-old Dalit first year student of IIT Bombay who died by suicide on 12th Feb.
The students expressed their condolences to Darshan solanki's family and demanded a judicial enquiry into the death of Darshan Solanki. Since the time BJP-RSS came to power, there has been an increase in attacks on dalits, adivasis, women and other marginalised sections.
AISA-RYA called for resisting the systematic oppression of Dalit students as well as demanding from the government to enact Rohith Act. These organisations are conducting a national campaign against rising discrimination against dalits, adivasis, and other marginalised communities in campuses across India.
On 24 Feb, AISA and BAPSA along with Lucknow University students carried out a candle march against this institutional murder and demanded justice for Darshan Solanki.
