Fight against Farook College gender bias on Facebook

KOZHIKODE: Kozhikode town erupted last year with the ‘Kiss of Love’ campaign protesting the gang of goons who went on moral policing at a restaurant. It promises to do it again, this time against the alleged gender discrimination practiced on a college campus here.

The protestors are back in action and have called for an open demonstration on the streets on Tuesday against the suspension of K Dinu, a first-year BA sociology student, from Farook College.

And they have chosen Tottochan and Kobayashi master, the signature characters of liberal and positive education, as their icon. The group has already launched its campaign on Facebook.

The college authorities had on October 20 asked parents of eight students who had protested against the rules prohibiting boys and girls sitting together on the campus to meet the authorities and apologise for what their wards did. While seven of them complied, Dinu’s parents refused to toe the line.

“Since I have not spoken a word that is unethical, I find no reason to apologise,” he said.  The campaigners will voice the grave concern of the students studying in such institutions, he added.

Dinu told Deccan Chronicle that he was suspended for not giving the management  an apology letter for raising his voice for freedom and a college atmosphere without gender discrimination.
