Disturbing! Caste Slur Found Inside AIIMS Hostel – Students Demand Justice!

Uttar Pradesh — A casteist slur targeting the Scheduled Caste (SC) community was discovered written on a hostel wall at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Raebareli. The derogatory phrase—“Chamar teri maa…”—was found inscribed on the wall of the H1A hostel’s ground floor lift lobby, leading to outrage among Dalit students on campus.

The offensive graffiti has also gone viral on social media, prompting widespread condemnation and demands for strict action against those responsible. Responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter), Raebareli Police stated:

"The Bhadohi Police Station, in coordination with AIIMS Raebareli, has removed the casteist writing. The AIIMS administration is conducting a further investigation into the matter."

Speaking to The Mooknayak on the condition of anonymity, a student from AIIMS Raebareli revealed that this is not an isolated incident. “There have been previous instances where casteist abuses were directed at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the Dalit community in our hostel WhatsApp batch groups,” the student said. The student also shared several screenshots with The Mooknayak showing derogatory language used against Dr. Ambedkar and Dalit students in those chats.

According to the student, the AIIMS administration had formed a committee to look into the matter of the slur on the wall, and some students have already recorded their statements. “However, no information has been given so far about any concrete action taken,” the student added.

Expressing concern over repeated targeting of Dalit students—whether in WhatsApp groups or now on hostel walls—the student further stated that after the image of the slur started circulating on social media, a few individuals were seen loitering around the wall late at night, seemingly attempting to erase the writing.

The student suspects these could be the same individuals who had previously posted casteist messages in WhatsApp groups targeting Dr. Ambedkar and Dalit students.

It is noteworthy that Raebareli is also the parliamentary constituency of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

The Mooknayak has reached out to the AIIMS Raebareli administration via their official email for a formal response. The story will be updated as soon as a reply is received.
