IIT-Bombay aims to remain apolitical However, amidst these positive developments, IIT-Bombay has implemented new guidelines aimed at preventing disturbances caused by guest lectures on political topics. Talks with potential political implications now require permission from a review committee and the police. The decision comes after a recent controversy over a guest lecture on the Palestine situation, which led to protests and threats against a faculty member. While IIT-Bombay aims to remain apolitical and avoid controversies that could divert from its primary mission, the guidelines have drawn criticism for being perceived as restrictive. Some students view them as a set of "gag rules," raising concerns about academic freedom and freedom of expression on campus. As these initiatives unfold, it is clear that the landscape of higher education in India is evolving, with a focus on empowering students through innovative platforms and resources while navigating the delicate balance between academic freedom and maintaining a politically neutral environment.
