IIT Bombay cuts ties with Turkish institutes over pro-Pakistan stand

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay on Saturday joined several other prominent educational institutions in India to cancel agreements with Turkish universities over its support to Pakistan.

The West Asian country is facing a massive backlash in India after it was found that Pakistan, after Operation Sindoor, launched attacks on the Indian civilian and military areas using drones supplied by Turkish defence firms.

"Due to the current geopolitical situation involving Turkey, IIT Bombay is processing suspension of its agreements with Turkish universities until further notice," the premier technological institute in India wrote on X.
