JNUSU-SSS presents this Convenor Report to the General Body of the School of Social Sciences(SSS). This general body meeting is.
being held in the backdrop of a deepening economic and social crisis and rapidly declining credibility and legitimacy of the ruling.
elite and an orchestrated communal fascist build up. At the same time, responding to this crisis, we are once again witnessing.
very encouraging signs of a powerful student-youth movement across the country. Close on the heels of its spirited participation.
in the movement against corruption, corporate loot and the government-corporate nexus, the student movement erupted on.
the streets of the national capital in December 2012, over the issue of justice for the 23-year-old paramedical student who was.
gang-raped and brutalised in a moving bus in Delhi and who died subsequently in a Singapore hospital. Ordinary students and.
youth in India are on the streets, reclaiming the republic and the essence of democracy, challenging global capitalism and.
imperialism and demanding freedom without fear for women..

During the past year, Barack Obama managed to win a second term for himself as US President, though this time defeating his.
Republican rival by a much smaller margin. Obama's smaller margin indicates the growing disenchantment and disappointment.
of the American people - particularly its poor - with Obama's policies and his continuing betrayals of the dreams of `change' he.
evoked while riding to a thumping electoral victory in 2008. There was no fundamental shift in economic policy; US wars in.
Afghanistan and other parts of the world continued; US backing of the genocidal Israeli regime too continued. In some ways,.
Obama's diminished margin and the defeat of Romney can be seen as a reflection of the anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street.
(OWS) protests that rocked the US. The vote in the US was also simultaneously a vote against leaders (primarily Republicans).
who defended rape culture and victim-blaming, and who spoke against women's freedom to make choices about their own.

In the Middle East and northern Africa, as well as in Chile, Venezuela, Bolivia and other parts of Latin America, opposition to US.
domination and neo-liberal policies continues in different forms. In Egypt, people were yet again out on the streets demanding.
withdrawal of armed forces from the country's political scene; the threat of people's protests also prevented their leaders from.
following IMF's diktats of removing subsidies. And now the US-controlled military regime in Egypt is brutally quelling any kind of.
dissent. Chile in particular has seen massive student protests against commercialisation and privatization of education - a.
movement which has been consistently supported by the working class in Chile. And in October 2012, Hugo Chavez, one of the.
most vocal opponents of US domination in Latin America, won the Presidential election in Venezuela for the fourth time..
Following Chavez's unfortunate and untimely demise, his anti-imperialist legacy is being carried forward by newly elected.
President Maduro Moros and the people of Venezuela. Meanwhile, the Palestinian people's brave protests for liberation.
continues against all odds. November-December 2012 saw a renewal of Israeli attacks on Gaza. Fighting a daily battle against.
Israel's occupation of their lands, Palestinians are also exposing Barack Obama's implicit support for Israeli domination in the.
West Asia. US imperialism continues with its myriad machinations for domination as well as open killings, war and drone attacks.
in various parts of the world - including Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. And person who exposed the underbelly of US.
imperialism and its manipulations across the globe, Julian Assange, is now facing an unprecedented witch-hunt by the entire.
imperialist power lobby. After Assange, Edward Snowden who exposed the war-mongering and extensive spying by the US.
administration, is facing the wrath of the imperialist powers across the world. Moreover, the conscientious whistleblower.
Chelsea Manning (earlier called Bradley) is being criminalised for her role in exposing US war crimes..
.
Closer home, in neighbouring Nepal, since 2008 when the monarchy was finally abolished, the fledgling democracy continues to.
face multiple challenges. The struggle for a thorough restructuring of all organs of the state including the army, judiciary and.
bureaucracy in Nepal continues. Bangladesh has witnessed a massive struggle to bring perpetrators of massacres and crimes.
against humanity to book. The horrific workplace fire and building collapse that have claimed the lives of garment workers in.
Bangladesh have underlined the exploitation of sweatshop labour in South Asian countries by MNC giants. In Sri Lanka, even.
today, the Tamilians live in inhuman conditions, subjected to humiliation and violations of their dignity and rights, while.
perpetrators of war crimes and atrocities go scot free. India's role in this crime against humanity is particularly shameful, with.
the Indian Government providing military aid to the war on Tamils and continuing to tacitly approve of the treatment of Tamils.
in Sri Lanka..
.
And in neighbouring Myanmar, in a significant development, after years of military dictatorship, a popularly elected government.
led by Aung San Suu Kyi has assumed office. However, the project of establishing democracy is still unfinished. In disturbing.
developments, we are seeing both in Myanmar and neighbouring Pakistan, increasing attacks on religious minorities. In.
Myanmar, there have been a series of barbaric attacks on Rohingya Muslims in the Rakhine province, whereby they had to flee.
en masse. In Pakistan too, some cases of abduction of Hindu women have been reported and there had been systematic threats.
and fear-mongering against the Hindu minorities, particularly in the Sindh province, leading to their exodus to India..
