My favourite Piyush Mishra anecdote is that you see in the comments of the song people coming up with elaborate theories of what it means metaphorically and when someone asked him about it, he said all those are bullshit and he never thought anything like that.

Let alone students, I've heard first year grad students, who have barely done any research themsleves, look down upon the hiring of a new prof (with an "objectively" good research record) because they came through a special recruitment drive.

In my 4 years of B. Tech, I have not seen a single student being mistreated by anyone due to their caste. In fact, at IIT Bombay, every general category student is paired with a roommate from the OBC/SC/ST category to ensure that the students blend with each other well.
