Towards an active, enecuva, accountable JNUSU .
The defeats and victories of the fellows at the top aren~t always defeats and victories for the fellows at the bottom -Berto/t Brecht .
There is no shortage of political rhetoric in JNU. It reaches a crescendo during the JNUSU elections. However, in tnis .
combination of sound and fury, one simple, basic thing gets~Jost-that the student's union is a body that belongs to the .
students, and not to a handful of office~bearers or their political masters. That the strength (or dignity) of the union lies in .
the collective will of the students, not in the political connections or clout of Its 'leaders'. .
Choosing your union representative is really a steP towards the kind of campus you want: It is amply .
clear that In this system, the interest of the government I state l policy-makers are antithetical to that of the common .
people. This extends into education as well. The interests of the university administration Is in pushing the pro-imperialist, .
anti-people agenda of the state -to make the campus market-oriented, making it inaccessible to the poor or the backward .
masses; to use education to reinforce the status quo, rather than question lt. The whole point in having a union is to .
collectively resist the machinations of an authority that pushes an anti-student agenda. And the only way to do It is to .
confront the administration with the collective strength of the students, rather than keeping movements restricted to token .
demonstrations and lndtvidual negotiations by union representatives. So, an effective, accountable union wUI not only need .
to be for the students, It will need to be of and by the students as well. .
SignJficantly, the way students' politics is practiced by the student wing of various parliamentary partles is exactly .
the opposite of this. No matter what the rhetoric, left (rather, Offidal Left), rlght or centre-what Is played out on the .
ground Is just an extension of their status-quolst, anti-people agenda, trying to garner support for their parliamentary .
masters. No wonder that in most universities (Including states ruled by the so-called 'Left'), student union elections are .
fought with brute musde power, the parliamentary style 'settings' along caste I communal/ ethnic lines and buying and .
selling of votes. At times, these unions become appendages of the administration-a tool to implement the anti-student .
policy and keep the general students under control. Of course, It is not surprising that the administration and these so-called .
student organizations end up on the same side -after all, both are Implementing the same polldes formulated by their .
masters in the parliament. These practices by the mainstream student organizations not only hide the real potential of the .
Union as an invaluable weapon in the student's struggle for a democratic campus and society, It also turns the general .
students away from union and activism. What's even more alarming, the ruling class parties take advantage of this mess .
which Is of their own creation and tries to push right-wing measures like the Lyngdoh recommendations, which effectively .
subverts even the possibility of any meaningful student movement by maldng the union more subservient to the authorities. .
Time to take stock: At a time when even the concept of a student's union Is under attack both from outside (lyngdoh, .
government bans in various states) and inside (mainstream student organizations), the current JNUSU election becomes .
immensely significant. More so because the democratic space in JNU is fast shrinking with the organized de-politidzation of .
the student community and the administration baring its fangs to curb student protest. Let us take a look at the JNUSU .
leadership's role on certain key issues, and see If JNUSU had indeed been an effect1ve, transparent and accountabl·e-a .
union that can resist the imperialist onslaught on education and students' rights. .
Reservation: Forced by people's movements and widespread discontent, the government has been forced to legislate on .
reservation. Yet, statistics show that even SC/Sf reservation has never really been implemented properly1 either in jobs or In .
edtJcation. The same story is being repeated with the OBC reservations. The Supreme Court rushed in to help the .
government caught in a tight spot between not being able to either withdraw or implement the 27°/o OBC Reservation Act .
That is the magic of the semi-feudal semi-colonial system. The various organs of class/caste artirulations of the Indian .
state, the le:glsfature, the executive or the judidary, will always work in tandem to legitimize and perpetuate the exploitation .
and the age-old domination. At the idea of compromising even an Iota of the upper caste domination of educational .
resources, we have witnessed the extremely reactlonary backlash of the dominant castes in the form of Youth for EquaHty. .
Significantly, these champions of \equality' and 'merit' are deafeningly silent when 'thousands of seats are reserved for .
capitation fee. .
But what about the \Left' led JNUSU? Right from the beginning the JNUSU leade,tshlp had made the .
demand for 270/o OBC reservation conditional on the demand for 54°/o seat in~ase! Which effectively mean that .
tlll the Interests of the real 'creamy layer' are safeguarded, there Is no question of allowing the backward castes through the .
portals of higher education. And given the state's reluctance to spend mon~y on education, given that in the last 50 years .
seats couldn't be increased to accommodate students from educationally backward sections, such huge Increase of seats at .
one go is really a remote posslbllity7 which makes the chances of 27%> OBC reservation rather bleak. What more the .
government is even ready to start schools run by corporate sector (read SEZ) with little Intervention from its side. And as· , soon as the matter became sub-judice the JNUSU leadership was more than to sit silent. So much for th_elr Claims to be .
progressive! Perhaps by their calculations, fighting for proper implementatJon of reservation doesn't translate Into ~logic .
of electoral arithmetic-of making the \winning combination'. Whatever the reason, the JNUSU leadership's action ori the .
ground doesn't really match up to their rhetoric, and only perpetuates the benefits enjoyed by the privileged on~. This .
becomes even more e\lldent when every year after the admissions the JNUSU publishes self-congratulatorY notices to .
.
.
announce the fulfillment of quota In the overall admission procedure. What they choose to Ignore Is· the non fulfillment of .
SC/Sf quota In a number of spedflc schools and centers, especially In the science schools, .center for law and Ggvemance, .
School of Arts and Aesthetics, certain centers In SIS etc. Discrimination against M. Phil candidates from oppressed sections .
ln.School G>f Arts and Aesthetics was made public last year. The JNUSU leadership, forgetting Its pr~electlon pro!,llises, failed .
to ensure anymechanism to prevent that. Nor was the case further probed. .
struggle for Workers' rights: We have seen that the united fight put up by Students-te~chers-workers can be a potent .
threat"to the poWerful contractor-administration mafia. What ha9 peen the role of the JNUSU leadership? When the stniggle .
began In November, the SFI faction of JNUSU leadership was nowhere to be seen. And that Is qulteunderstandable, given .
