'Look at that point again. he is here. That is home. this is us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you've ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived their life. The mass of our joys and sufferings, thousands of convinced religions, ideologies and economic theories, every hunter and explorer, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and farmer, every young couple in love, every mother and father, The hopeful child, the inventor and discoverer, every teacher of morality, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar', every 'supreme leader', every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – particles of dust suspended between the rays of the sun. of. like. These lines, written by astronomer and renowned science communicator Carl Sagan, accompany a photograph of Earth taken by the spacecraft Voyager I. On February 14, 1990, the spacecraft was scheduled to leave our solar system.

Who is responsible for Rohit's death?

Let us now travel 6.4 billion kilometers and go back to Hyderabad. Grappling with caste, morality and a little truth or the many shades of truth. Rohit Vemula came into limelight again on May 2 this year, eight years after he committed suicide on the Hyderabad University campus. The police filed a closure report in the local court. It said conclusively that university official Rohith Vemula was not responsible for the death. Also, Rohit was not a Dalit and may have lied about his caste. And this happened right in the middle of the Lok Sabha election campaign when Congress and BJP were accusing each other of trying to end reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs. Due to this, the Telangana DGP hastily announced that he was ordering a re-investigation.

We lost a young man who aspired to reach the stars with his words. This is what we should mourn. Rohit was not just a Dalit or an OBC, but a dreamer and a wordsmith.

Voyager I, Carl Sagan's Rohit connection

What do Voyager I and Carl Sagan have to do with Rohit Vemula? Just before he died, Rohit wrote a detailed suicide note in which he said that he wanted to become a writer. Science writers like Carl Sagan. I love the nature of science stars. But then I loved people without knowing that people had long ago become separated from nature.' From this it is clear that Rohit was a sensitive young man with a passion for words. Imagine him writing about India landing a rover on the Moon or sending a spacecraft into orbit 1.5 million km from Earth to study the Sun. The police may find it difficult to blame the university authorities for Rohit's death in the closure report, as his suicide note specifically states that no one provoked him through words or actions. But it seems that this report does not fail to rebuke the officials.

What is the truth of Rohit Vemula's suicide? Why was there an uproar over the closure report of Hyderabad Police 10 days before voting?

What facts are missing from the report?

After all, it was a clash between two groups of students. Then, why was only one group reprimanded? Isn’t the notion of fairness as important as impartiality, especially in an educational institution with a politically active campus? The closure report goes into detail about Rohith’s caste and concludes that the family belonged to the Vaddera OBC community. However, the fact that Rohith thought very deeply about the Dalit issue and was a Dalit activist at the time of his death is missing from the report. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the closure report is that, without citing any mental health expert, it uses Rohith’s suicide note to conclude that his ‘lonely’ and “unappreciated” childhood was responsible for his suicide. It is possible that some lines in the suicide note also suggest that he was unhappy with the student organisations he belonged to.

Navbharat TimesRohit Vemula was not a Dalit…Telangana Police gave clean chit to everyone in the closure report, know what was said?

There is no mention of experts in the report

The fact that he had written a sarcastic letter to the Vice Chancellor seeking help to kill himself was completely dismissed. The report said that if it is investigated whether it could be a sign of his suicide, then this letter was written a month ago and the despair, anger with which it must have been written has died down with the passage of time. . will be.' This appears to be the opinion of a police officer who considers himself a suicide expert as the report does not state whether the officer consulted any experts in reaching this conclusion. Of course, eight years after his death it is difficult to say whether Rohit would have achieved success as a writer and whether his words would have Sagan's magic to inspire generations. But it is true that he aspired to be another Sagan. This is what we lost when Rohit committed suicide that day in 2016. We lost a young man who aspired to reach the stars with his words. This is what we should mourn. Politicians of all hues, who first tried to suppress voices like Rohit's and then profited from his death, did not succeed. Rohit was not just a Dalit or an OBC, but a dreamer and a wordsmith.
