Rohith Vemula Dossier: My Birth is My Fatal Accident examines caste discrimination in India through Rohith Vemula's 2016 suicide at the University of Hyderabad. This meticulously researched work exposes casteism in academia, government, and society, crushing Dalits, Adivasis, and OBCs. Rohith's note, My birth is my fatal accident, shared 50,000 times, sparked protests. Radhika Vemula's advocacy, including the 2019 PIL, and 'Velivada's 2025 commemoration (500 attendees) highlight resistance. The book documents 115 IIT suicides (2022-2024), 80% of Dalit students facing bias, and NCRB's 2024 data on frequent Dalit women's rapes (29.2% SC/ST Act conviction rate). Tracing caste from Vedic origins to modern exclusion, it critiques weak reforms, with only 5% SC/ST IIT faculty. Global parallels (e.g., Burakumin) and diaspora cases (e.g., Cisco lawsuit) frame caste as a human rights issue. Proposing robust laws, sensitisation, and cultural shifts, it amplifies ASA and NCDHR voices, urging a casteless society where potential defines worth.
