Students at IIT Madras protest over recitation of Sanskrit song at an event instead of Tamil song. The event was attended by Union ministers Nitin Gadkari and Pon Radhakrishnan. Students, who belong to the Campus Front of India, alleged that the management is imposing Sanskrit in the campus. Students came out in the streets right outside the IIT Madras. Following the controversy, IIT-M director Bhaskar Ramamurthy said, “We have here students from all over the country. Not all can sing in Tamil. At events, the students sing in Marathi, Hindi, Bengali and other languages too. We don’t tell the students which songs to sing.”
