The Supreme Court has stayed the UGC’s 2026 equity regulations — introduced to curb the sharp rise in caste discrimination complaints across Indian colleges — after widespread protests and legal challenges.

This video breaks down how the regulations were drafted, why they became controversial, and what the court’s decision means for students and campuses across India.
