Indian-origin MIT student suspended over pro-Palestinian activism

An Indian-origin student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), named Shraddha, has been suspended for her involvement in pro-Palestinian activism. The suspension came after she participated in a protest where students occupied a building on campus, demanding that MIT sever ties with the Israeli Ministry of Defense and companies supporting the conflict in Gaza. The protest was part of a broader movement across U.S. campuses advocating for Palestinian rights. Shraddha, who has been an active member of the MIT Coalition Against Apartheid, expressed her disappointment with MIT's administration for not engaging in dialogue and instead opting for punitive measures. This incident has sparked discussions on free speech and the right to protest on university campuses.
