Students at Lady Shri Ram College for Women in Delhi are upset about a talk given by retired diplomat Deepak Vohra. The students say he made bad comments about women and other groups during his lecture on September 11.
What happened at the lecture
Deepak Vohra came to talk about India's future at the college. He was supposed to discuss policy and diplomacy. But students say he said things that were not nice about women and other groups. The students union put out a statement saying his comments were wrong and should not be allowed in a college. Deepak Vohra came to talk about India's future at the college.

The students union put out a statement saying his comments were wrong and should not be allowed in a college. A lecture at Delhi University's Lady Shri Ram (LSR) College for Women by retired diplomat Deepak Vohra has drawn flak from the students' union, which termed his alleged remarks "misogynistic" and "derogatory"….
Students want an apology
The students are very angry about what Vohra said. They say he made a comment about wanting to be born as a man, not a woman. This made the students feel he does not respect women. Now they want Vohra to say sorry in public for what he said. Vohra has not said anything about what the students are saying.
Such statements have no place in an academic institution and their delivery on our campus was a direct violation of our values and intellectual standards.
The college has not yet said what they will do about the students complaints. Follow The Rising News for more verified updates.
