She also co-authored an article in The Tufts Daily last March calling on her university to acknowledge Israel’s well-documented genocide in Gaza. The current Trump administration, building on the policies of the Biden administration, is hellbent on denying this genocide and silencing people like Ozturk who speak this truth.

University of Hyderabad Land Auction Sparks Outrage, What Are Protesting HCU Students Demanding ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSp3FG3qnxE The Wire
Apr 2, 2025 The Telangana government’s decision to auction 400 acres of land inside the University of Hyderabad, with a base price of Rs 10,000 crore, has triggered protests. Bulldozers began demolishing rock formations and lakes 20 days ago. Students teachers, and activists have formed a Joint Action Committee to oppose the sale, demanding the land be officially registered under the university. A public interest litigation has been filed, with the next high court hearing scheduled for April 7. Meanwhile, 53 students were detained, with two PhD scholars still in judicial custody. Protesters argue this is a pre-planned assault on education, ecology and Telangana’s heritage.

I am an alumnus of Hyderabad Central University, and this mentioned area has always been home to a rich and diverse ecosystem. I was fortunate enough to experience the beauty of nature firsthand. Every morning, I woke up to the sounds of peacocks and spotted deer. As I stepped out of the hostel, it was not uncommon to see deer and peacocks roaming freely near the department, hostels and any other areas of the university. It was a unique experience, and one that shaped my connection with nature.
However, it deeply saddens me to witness the destruction of this once-thriving biodiversity. The recent deforestation and encroachment into these natural spaces are nothing short of devastating. It is not just a matter of land ownership; it is about the wildlife and the ecosystems that depend on these areas for survival. These creatures, which once roamed freely in their natural habitat, are now losing their homes due to thoughtless of government activities. The loss of their habitat is not a mere statistic; it is the destruction of irreplaceable biodiversity that has taken years to evolve.

To all those commenting that the students are paid actors, they are not. All the political parties in one way or the other are responsible for the current state of affairs starting from BRS, Congress and the TDP and the BJP. The students are fighting for the city lung space irrespective of their affiliation to any political parties.
I am disheartened by the indifference of those who fail to understand the gravity of this situation. Some people argue that the issue is simply political propaganda. But I am ashamed to witness such narrow-mindedness. We, as a country, have failed to prioritize what truly matters—our environment, our wildlife, and our future. The destruction of the Hasdeo rainforests in India is just one of the many examples of this ongoing crisis. Now, Kanche forest is also facing the same fate. Are we going to live up only surrounded by concrete!!
