However even after nearly one year, Rohit Vemula's family didnot get any justice. Academicians and activists on Thursday slammed the Telangana and the Central government for their failure in delivering justice to the Dalit research scholar's family .


In a seminar organised, a student said "The university is only curbing voices of dissent by not allow ing outsiders and mediapersons from attending seminars which are democratic,“. Prof K. Lakshminagarayana, a faculty member of UoH said  “It is learnt that in a day or two, the AP government will declare that Rohith was not a Dalit but belonged to the backward class.“

Bezwada Wilson, convenor of Safai Karmachari Andolon,revealed “Many people promised a lot of things last year but nothing has happened so far. Rohith's brother, who completed MSc in geology is now driving an autorickshaw in his town. His mother Radhika is afraid to send him to any university .The vice-chancellor must feel ashamed to have not protected the rights of Rohith's family ,“ 


Sukhdeo Thorat, chairperson of Indian Council of Social Science Research, said, “Rohith's sacrifice brought out caste discrimination in higher educational institutional institutions.“
