It Takes More Than Guns to Kill A Man: .

Carry Forward Com. Chandrashekhars Legacy! .

Our coming generations will ask us for an answer, they will ask us, where were you when new social forces were being unleashed, where were you when people who live and die every moment, every day strived for their rights, where were you when there was an assertion of the marginal voices of the society. They will seek an answer from all of us... .

-Comrade Chandrashekhar .

AISA is observing the week 19-28 September Remembering Revolutionaries, to assert the legacy of Bhagat Singh, Com. Chandrashekhar, Raj Kumar Bhul and other contemporary revolutionaries of our times. 19th September was the birth anniversary of Comrade Chandrashekhar, who was the JNUSU President for two terms in 1994-95 and 1995-96, left JNU to become a whole time activist of the CPI(ML) in his hometown Siwan in Bihar, and was shot dead on 31 March 1997 while addressing a street corner meeting in Siwan town, by goons at the behest of RJD MP Mohd. Shahabuddin. His words, his life and his politics remind us of the historic role of the student movement and the responsibility that each and every one of us has to carry forward his legacy. .

Breaking the Barriers

.. .

Leading the JNUSU. Chandu was the architect of two historic struggles in JNU. In 1993-94, the first-ever AISA-led JNUSU fought and won the struggle for restoration of deprivation points in JNU admissions, which made JNU accessible to students from deprived backgrounds. In 1995, JNUSU, through a massive struggle, stopped a proposal of fee hikes and privatization. These two significant struggles, waged during the first wave of neo-liberal policies in the 1990s, went a long way in retaining and enriching the socially inclusive, accessible and egalitarian character of this campus .

that JNU is proud of even today. .

At the same time, for Chandrashekhar, JNU was not an isolated island. He continuously .

tried to bridge the artificial barriers between the student movement in JNU and the .

peoples movement raging in different parts of the country. Be it the protests against .

the rape of Bhanwari Devi in Rajasthan, the struggle for independence of the people of .

Palestine, or the massacre of dalit landless poor at Bathani Tola, the Narmada Bachao .

movement against displacement of tribals in the name of development, the rape by .

police of activists of the Uttarakhand separate state movement in Muzaffarnagar, against .

state repression in the North east and Kashmir, against draconian laws like TADA and .

.

Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), Chandu made JNU students an integral .

part of all those movements. .

During the JNUSU Presidential Debate of 1994, Chandu replied to a question: Yes, .

.

Im ambitious my ambition is to live like Bhagat Singh and die like Che Guevara! .

Chandu indeed lived and died as he had wished. .

Com. Chandrashekhars Legacy .

Today, the best possible, and in fact the only tribute that we can pay to Chandus memory is through a renewed commitment to the struggles that defined his politics. .
