THREAD: On the death anniversary of Dalit scholar #RohithVemula, we must remind ourselves that #MentalHealth is not an "individual problem". It is interlinked with a person's social position, determined by factors like gender, caste, class, disability, religion, and more. (1/4)
Students from marginalised communities face immense bullying, harassment and abuse in educational institutions. It is also difficult to get justice for the treatment given to them. (2/4)

The #NEET exam in particular stands out as a major source of stress for many students, as it has inherent caste, class and language biases in its design. This makes it less accessible to many aspiring students from marginalised communities. (3/4)
We fail to take cognisance of the fact that mental health is not just a consequence of personal distress. We must shift the onus from the individual to the institution, and the people who perpetuate the cycle of discrimination, harassment, and abuse. (4/4)
