In this episode, we unpack the big question: Are private universities really as inclusive as they claim? Drawing from a report on queer, trans, and caste-oppressed student experiences in four private universities of Delhi NCR, we explore the gap between glossy policies and lived realities. From campus “safe spaces” to hidden hierarchies, this conversation examines what safety, belonging, and care truly mean and why universities must move beyond optics to real accountability. The report is the work of Swabhimaan: a student-led initiative under the Centre for New Economics Studies at OP Jindal Global University as we tune in with Suhani Sharma, a student associated with the project!
