  • PhD scholar of Indian origin Prahlad Iyengar has been suspended from MIT over a pro-Palestine essay for Written Revolution, a multidisciplinary student magazine.

Prahlad Iyengar, an Indian-origin PhD scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has been suspended for writing a pro-Palestine essay. The essay, titled "The Abolition of Israel," was published in the MIT Literary Magazine. Following its publication, Iyengar faced significant backlash, including threats and harassment, which led to his suspension from MIT. The university's decision has sparked a debate on free speech and academic freedom, with critics arguing that MIT succumbed to external pressures rather than upholding the principles of open discourse. Iyengar's essay discussed the historical context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, advocating for a reevaluation of the state of Israel's policies towards Palestinians. The incident has raised concerns about the limits of expression on sensitive political issues within academic institutions.
