The Morning Standard|July 27, 2022

Urdu title changed, allege college thespians

“The theatre society at BRAC was asked to change the name of the society from Ilhaam to any other name. The reason was not stated to us verbally,” said a current member of the theatre society on the condition of anonymity. “The college also told us, if the group functions under this name then it won’t be recognised and no funds will be provided. Therefore we had no option but to change the name within a day.”

Students also alleged that other activity groups also changed names from Urdu to Hindi albeit there was no pressure from the college administration.
