We share the outrage of fellow IIT alumni at Satyendra Kumar Dubey's murder, who stood up to the corrupt in India.
We commend the director of IIT Kanpur for his stand. We join the IIT Bombay Alumni in gathering support in fighting the scourge of corruption.
Please wake up: angry IIT chorus
Unfortunately, corruption is not limited only in the construction community in Bihar. Dubey's ultimate sacrifice is a clarion call to all of us that the rot of corruption in the Indian society doesn't affect only the less successful or uneducated ones. Whether we live in India, America or elsewhere, our contributions to the alma mater would ultimately go waste if the all pervading corruption isn't fought and turned back.
We invite you to share your opinions, your personal experiences with corruption in India and your ideas how we may mobilize to fight this. That will be the most fitting tribute to this fearless man who died fighting for what we were taught.
We also invite you to post your condolences to Satyendra's family, including his brother who is a student at ITBHU, on this post.
We are shocked and outraged by this news:
IIT Engineer stood up to highway corruption, shot dead in Bihar
Satyendra Kumar Dubey was an alumnus of IIT Kanpur (B. Tech.) and ITBHU (M. Tech.). We honor his memory joining all IIT/JEE graduates for standing up for his principles and making the ultimate sacrifice.
Satyendra's brother Dhananjay is a B. Tech 2nd Year Electronics student at ITBHU. We request his friends at IT to convey these condolences to him in person. We admire Dhananjay immensely for his words to the press while in mourning: The whole world's money was not enough to buy off my brother.
'Give me justice for son's murder, not this funeral cheque'
Dhananjay, as we grieve with your family, your values and courage make us all proud!
