FOR AN ACCOUNTABLE AND PROACTIVE GSCASH .
Friends. .
This year sees another ~lection for the posts of student representatives to the Gender Sensitization .committee against Sexual .
Harassment. The formation of GSCASH was a result of a persistent struggle of the JNU commun1ty for a secure and gender .
sensitive campus. .
The constitution of GSCASH embodies a progressive outlook on gender issues. The struggle for the formation of GSCASH and the deviant behaviour of a s1ngle.

reality of unequal gender relations. It restricts the freedom of individuals and does notindividual. Instead it must be located in the .

But most importantly GSCASH has failed In its task of sensitization. The understanding inherent in GSCASH is that the task of sensitization is as important as that of remedial action in cases of sexual harassment. The fight against sexual harassment does not .
begin or end simply with Its redressal. Sensitization, debates on gender are important to evolving a proper and Informed understanding. Only a change in the prevalent stereotypes or straitjacketed social roles of women and men would effectively prevent sexual harassment. And It Is In this area of sensitization that failure of the last committee lay. .

JNU students who visited Gobindpur (Orissa) are witness to the deal between CPI and BJP for a few assembly seats! In JNU, following its masters, AI SF has been indulged in the anti-student activities. Recently, when there was an indefinite hunger strike on the issue of gender discriminatory practices in hostel fines and the culture of arbitrary fines, the AISF actually collaborated with the Administration and shamelessly publicized that the Adminsitration has accepted all our demands. Whereas in reality the Adminsitratiop again cheated the student community by lying that the matter will be discussed in the IHA meeting. The Concerned .
Students brought out its public position on the failure of the hunger strike. In fact when the IHA meeting was finally held on 30/8/2013 it is not shocking that the matter of arbitrary fines in Sutlaj and gender discrimination in fines was not at all discussed. There is an interesting character of AISF that must be brought before the students. AISF always take double positions in any matter. Concerned Students decided to go into indefinite hunger strike against arbitrary fines and gender discriminatory practices in fines, Informally it will say something and when it comes to take a position in any formal meeting, it takes a u-turn. For instance, when the the AISF leadership met us personally and 'committed' to support our hunger stke. But on the same day when the All Organisation .
meeting was called, it, going by its history of betrayal, opposed our hunger strike. Finally when the Concerned Students amidst all opposition sat on the hunger strike on 5/8/2013, the AISF Ourgest Tripathi publically in the protest demonstration used the .
brahamnical expression of supporting the hunger stike. He said, 'hamara ashiravaad aap sabke saath hai.' This againexposes their brahamanical nature. The tail of social fascist CPM, the CPI and its student wing AISF is an anti-people force and corrupted at its core. ... ... .
CPM & its Student Wing SFI: the list of anti-people policies of the social fascist CPM is endless. We all know what CPM did in Marichjhapi, Nandigram and Singur. It was the mother of all Nandigrams.
