Rohith Chakravarti Vemula (30 January 1989 – 17 January 2016) was an Indian PhD student at the University of Hyderabad. His suicide on 17 January 2016 sparked protests and outrage from across India and gained widespread media attention as an alleged case of discrimination against Dalits and low status caste in India, in which elite educational institutions have been purportedly seen as hotbeds of caste-based discrimination against students belonging to lower caste. According to the suicide note, he committed suicide in the room of one Umma Anna, in whose room he was staying after being expelled from the hostel by the authorities at the University of Hyderabad. His death occurred after a controversy which extended over several months starting in July 2015, when the University reportedly stopped paying him the fellowship of 25,000 rupees per month and expelled him from the hostel along with five other members of the Ambedkar Students Association (ASA).
Vemula is a village in Kadapa district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is located in Vemula mandal of Jammalamadugu revenue division.
