பெண்ணுரிமை-ஒடுக்கப்பட்டோர் விடுதலை பேசும் பாமா, சுகிர்தராணி ஆகியோரின் படைப்புகள் பேராசியர்களின் கவனத்திற்குக் கொண்டு செல்லாமல் @UnivofDelhi...

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin strongly condemned Delhi University decision to arbitrarily drop the acclaimed literary works of celebrated Tamil Dalit feminist authors Bama and Sukirtharani from its undergraduate English literature curriculum. Expressing indignation that the syllabus alterations were executed without the concurrence of department faculty or statutory academic councils, Stalin emphasized that literature should never be filtered through narrow ideological or sectarian lenses. He demanded the immediate reinstatement of the deleted literary texts to protect academic freedom.

The Chief Minister underscored that the writings of Bama and Sukirtharani represent pioneering, authentic subaltern voices that fearlessly critique entrenched caste hierarchies, patriarchy, and feudal discrimination. Their literary contributions have earned international acclaim, offering university students vital sociological perspectives on human rights, gender emancipation, and subaltern resilience in modern South Asia. Stalin warned that sanitizing university curricula by erasing uncomfortable truths about social oppression impoverishes higher education and suffocates critical, progressive inquiry among students.

Stalin timely intervention highlighted his unyielding defense of free expression, intellectual pluralism, and marginalized literature. By standing firmly behind progressive Tamil writers, he asserted Tamil Nadu vanguard role in defending progressive educational values against ideological intolerance nationwide.
