The ancient text Manusmriti has been introduced into the University of Delhi’s Faculty of Law curriculum, sparking controversy. Despite criticism for endorsing the caste system and gender inequality, faculty members argue for its inclusion for a critical comparative perspective. However, students express concern about potential societal division and discrimination in a modern, democratic society.
Today, On 13th June, Delhi High Court demands report on inadequate facilities at DU Law Faculty following a petition by three students. The Court appointed an amicus curiae and directed a meeting between stakeholders to address issues such as air conditioning, drinking water, and WiFi. The next hearing is set for July 4, with advocates representing both the petitioners and Delhi University.
