Striking is a form of protesting against a management for its unacceptable actions or demanding for the right justice of certain requirements. And when a college's students strike for a number of times for the same scandal, it only means that the college has failed more than once in a particular issue.

Sai Ram Engineering College, founded in 1995, has been famous for its placements, but more so for its atrocity behaviour in ill-treating its students. There have been a number of times the students have started a protest against the college, which almost revolves around the same issue.

In 2006.. Protest for bad food.

This happened when the college brought a rule that students should have their food in college and not bring it from home. The students were paying around Rs.40 a day and the food given was pathetic. They were not ready to have their lunches and were standing outside the Canteen as a protest. People were standing silently. It was just a boycott and not actually a strike.

The management asked the students to go back to the classes but they refused. They stood their ground and said no. And as a result, their parents were called for a meeting. The students were beaten and their parents were abused in tamil. They were made to accept that they started a strike and told them to follow the rules that were laid to them.

In July 2010.. For arresting Balu.

It's well known that Balu, who is the head of goons working in the institute. The students are mis-treated, abused and beaten inside a room. And all this for the silliest of reasons like not shaving, wearing a black dress, talking to the opposite gender and so on.

Balu, has physically abused the guys, tortured them by beating with lathis, and the girls by physically abusing them in front of the whole class. When the students couldn't tolerate this anymore, they went on a strike in front of the Tambaram Railway station, shouting the slogan, 'Arrest Balu immediately'.

Students started a strike in Anna University owing to all the atrocities of the college in the name of rules. They weren't allowed to wear certain dresses, talk to the opposite gender even outside the campus, denied of going to drink water or go to the restrooms during class hours, wearing black coloured dress, having an account in any social media or bringing home food. They were fined heavily if caught for doing any of these. Also, the supervisor Balu's continuous physical and verbal abuse was going beyond the limit.

The students' major demand was for the protection of the girls and dismissing Balu from the organization. They even protested in front of the office of the Commissioner of Police in Egmore. After which, Anna University initiated a team to check on the college authorities.

In March 2016.. Seeking justice for Abinath's death.

After the death of Abinath as he hanged himself due to the torture he underwent in the college, around 60 students protested on road in T.Nagar asking for justice and the necessary action to take place against the management. But they were beaten badly by the police and were arrested.

This news has created a rage in the media, however the college officials are trying to suppress the matter. This had happened again due to the Campus supervisor Balu, the moron who abuses the students.

All this torture had led many students to end their life. By far, Sai Ram College has been the highest suicide attempting college ever. The worst part would be, when you Google for the college and click the Wikipedia link, you'll find this. I hope the college gets ashamed of it.

The students have gone on strike against the same issue several times and the college doesn't seem to have taken any step. It's high time that the authorities take actions against Balu and dismiss him from the college.

We were able to come up only with these strikes by the Sai Ram students. If any of present or the passed out students know more information about the strikes against the management, and the reason behind it, please feel free to mention in the comments below.
