    Delhi: Men trespass on Miranda House during Diwali fest, booked
    Miranda House students have alleged that the trespassers engaged in sexist sloganeering

    The Delhi Police on Monday filed an FIR against "unidentified students" after scores of men allegedly trespassed on the campus of Delhi University's (DU) top-ranked women-only college Miranda House on Friday. The college was hosting a Diwali fest on its campus, open only to women students, when the men jumped over the institute's boundary walls and a closed gate to get inside, bypassing security.

    Why does this story matter?

    • In a similar incident in February 2020, several men had barged into Gargi College—Delhi University's another women-only institute—during a college festival and allegedly molested students.
    • Ten people were arrested in the case, and testimonies of over 600 students were recorded.
    • Students had alleged that the trespassers were part of a pro-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) rally passing from outside the college, reported India Today.

    Women students voiced concerns about their safe spaces

    Sexist slogans and indecent behavior, says Women's Development Cell

    Miranda House students have alleged that the trespassers engaged in sexist sloganeering such as, "Ramjas ka naara hai, Miranda House humara hai," which translates to "The slogan or motto of Ramjas College is to lay claim on Miranda House." Meanwhile, the Women's Development Cell of Miranda House said the men acted aggressively and entered restricted areas like classrooms and defied requests to behave themselves.
