On 18th December, 2015, Rohith Vemula wrote a letter to Appa Rao Podile asking the following:
“1) Please serve 10 mg of Sodium Azide to all the Dalit students at the time of admission. With direction to use when they feel like reading Ambedkar.
2) Supply a nice rope to the rooms of all Dalit students from your companion, the great Chief Warden.”
Following that, he wrote a facebook post the same day that said:
"We would have felt proud if the Vice Chancellor has (sic) told that we were suspended because we organized Ambedkar Vardhanthi, Babri Masjid demolition day and Beef festival in the last week. Anyways, this is not the first. Assertion of Dalits has been met with these kind of cunning suppression all over India—It’s Christmas month, resurrection is more than likely in this season."

There was no response from University administration. He and his letter went unattended.
