UGC Equity Guidelines Caste-Neutral Kyun Nahi Ho Sakte? Lawyer Disha Wadekar Ne Batayi Iske Peeche Ki Badi Wajah

Hal hi mein UGC (Promotion of Equity in Higher Education Institutions) Regulations, 2026 ko lekar desh bhar mein behas chhid gayi hai. Jahan ek taraf Supreme Court ne in naye niyamon par rok (stay) laga di hai, wahi doosri taraf social justice activists aur kanooni visheshagya is faisle par sawal utha rahe hain.

Is pure mamle mein sabse bada sawal ye hai ki: Naye UGC guidelines caste-neutral kyun nahi hain? Iska jawab diya hai Supreme Court ki mashhoor lawyer Disha Wadekar ne, jo lambe samay se institutional casteism ke khilaf ladayi lad rahi hain.

Kya Hai Pura Vivad? (Focus Word: UGC Guidelines)

UGC ne 2026 ke naye rules mein ‘Caste-based discrimination’ (jati-adharit bhedbhav) ko define karte hue kaha ki ye sirf SC, ST aur OBC students ke khilaf hone wale bhedbhav ko cover karega. Is par ‘General Category’ ke kuch sangathanon ne Supreme Court mein yachika dayar ki, jisme kaha gaya ki ye rules “Neutral” hone chahiye aur sabhi jatiyon ke liye ek saman hone chahiye.

Disha Wadekar Ka Tark: Caste-Neutrality Ek Dhokha Hai?

Advocate Disha Wadekar, jo Rohith Vemula aur Payal Tadvi jaise mamlon mein parivaron ki taraf se lad rahi hain, unka manna hai ki jati-adharit niyam kabhi “neutral” nahi ho sakte. Unke mutabik:

1. Ascriptive Identity: Jati koi chuna hua vikalp nahi hai, balki ye janm se judi pehchan hai. Historical bhedbhav hamesha ek disha mein (upal-caste se lower-caste ki taraf) raha hai. Isliye remedy (samadhan) bhi unhi ke liye hona chahiye jo shikar hain.

2. Existing Rules Ka Hawala: Wadekar ne bataya ki UGC (Redressal of Grievances of Students) Regulations, 2023 pehle se hi maujood hain, jo har student (chahe wo kisi bhi jati ka ho) ko harassment ke khilaf complaint karne ka haq dete hain.

3. Special Protection Ki Zaroorat: Naye 2026 ke rules un “Marginalized” students ke liye hain jo campus par systematic exclusion aur ‘hostile environment’ (zehrile mahaul) ka samna karte hain.

“Agar hum har kanoon ko neutral bana denge, toh gender laws ko bhi gender-neutral banana padega aur disability laws ko bhi. Par kanoon ka maqsad unhe bachana hota hai jo sadiyon se dabaye gaye hain.” — Disha Wadekar

SEO Key Points: UGC Equity Rules 2026

• Supreme Court Ka Stay: Court ne naye rules ko “prima facie vague” aur “misuse” ke layak bataya hai.

• 2012 Rules Wapas Lagu: Agli sunwai (March 2026) tak purane 2012 ke guidelines hi lagu rahenge.

• Equity Committee: Naye rules ke mutabik har college mein ek committee honi chahiye jisme SC/ST/OBC ka pratinidhitva (representation) anivarya ho.

Conclusion: Kya Desh Ko ‘Casteless’ Banana Mumkin Hai?

Supreme Court ne sunwai ke dauran kaha ki niyam aise hone chahiye jo desh ko baante nahi balki ‘Casteless Society’ ki taraf le jayein. Halanki, Disha Wadekar jaise kanoonvidon ka kehna hai ki jab tak campus par “Micro-aggressions” (choti-choti jati-suchak baatein) aur bhedbhav khatam nahi hota, tab tak naye aur sakht equity rules ki zaroorat bani rahegi.
