  • The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has suspended Prahlad Iyengar, a PhD student in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science after he published a pro-Palestine essay in a student magazine.

The article from Firstpost discusses the suspension of Prahlad Iyengar, an Indian-origin student at MIT, following his submission of a pro-Palestine essay for a class assignment. Iyengar's essay, which was part of a course on "The Science of Protest and Activism," argued that Hamas's actions could be seen as a form of resistance against oppression, a perspective that led to significant controversy. His piece was published in MIT's student newspaper, The Tech, sparking debate and accusations of promoting violence. This resulted in his suspension from MIT, with the university citing violations of its policies on harassment and discrimination. The incident has ignited discussions on free speech, academic freedom, and the boundaries of acceptable discourse in educational settings, especially concerning sensitive geopolitical issues like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
