Mandir and Market: The Real Face of ABVP's "Cultural Nationalism" .
. Does th~ ABVP have any agenda with which to face students in the JNUSU election!-o (when they spare ttme from mternal brawls, that is) 7 After all, the fact is that, it is thanks w the ABVP's parent party the BJP that JNU it!>df is gradually being put at the mercy of the market. High-fees courses have been introduced in CBT, business shops like NUT and APTECH under the guise of a "School of IT" wtll soon challenge the academically excellent School of Computer Sciences and Systems. Soon, following the suggestions of the HRD Minister M.M. Joshi, JNU will demand e lectricity bills from the students, and .
will extort huge sums from them in the name of medical reimbursement. .
The ABVP yesterday told the pres · that it believed only in two categones-nationalists and anti-nationals. Will the ABVP agree that the BJP government which is imposing privatization on the dictates of IMF-World Bank, putting higher education out of reach for ordinary Indians, national ? .
The ABVP shares the RSS' agenda of "cultural nationalism". K .S. Sudhurshan magnanimously claims that Muslimlio and Christians ar·e part of this countr·y, but ..unfortunately they have changed their methods of upasana". and now they must ··rndianize" thernselves by worshipping Rarn and Krishna. In other words, the RSS threatens minor·ities to forcibly convert to llinduisrn. or cbe be branded a" ·anu-nationuls". Not only that, all those who challenge the Hindutva definition of nationalism, will ulso be branded as "anti-nut ionals". .
So, whether it is the students of AMU who are being asked ro ''prove that they are not lSI agents" when they apply for jobs, whether it is the girl.o; of Kanpur and Baroda who hose to defy the ABVP decree and wear jean,., whether it is the young boys and girls who were attacked by the A BVP celebrating Vnlcntncs l~uy in Kanpur -in the eyes of the RSS und its ~tuderu wing the: AB,r P .. they un:: all ..unti-nationalsn.
