Were they disallowed BECAUSE they were a Dalit? Or because of the nature of their talk? Both are not the same scenario, which the headline seems to conflate.

Both are not the same scenario, which the headline seems to conflate.
- hef19898 4y agoAccording to the WP article it was a Dalit soeaker who was invited to talk about Caste-based discrimination. The talk was canceled after severe backlash against the topic, internal backlash. So I'd say it was both.
- oh_sigh 4y agoI really dislike when headlines use weasel words to imply causation when there is none, but I'm not really seeing it here. No one is saying they were denied because they were a Dalit. Some view it as being cancelled from the nature of the talk making those in power uncomfortable, others view it as being cancelled because the activist said anti-hindu things.
