As long as there are administrators who protect offending professors and let the girl students suffer and leave the institute, there is no hope. Some chairmen don't even accept complaints, what to talk of action? The whole system is biased towards faculty. The more success (read awards, papers, citations) a professor has, the more immunity the system bestows on him. Sad. India is no place for girls. IITs and IISc no exception to this.
Just found this on the IISc facebook group. Thankfully the poster does not seem to be from IISc
