AISA-STOP POSING TO BE A NATIONSLIST AND DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION! .
STOP DENIGRATING OUR NATIONAL HEROES!! 03 .04.2005 .
"Two VISions of NATION BUILDING are .
contending with each other-one of a fascist, autocratic, totalitarian India-another of a secular democratic, egalitarian India. AISA stands for the latter, AISA stands for democratic .
India."---a statement claimed by AISA to be made by Chandrasekharji (AISA'S last night pamphlet). .
Friends, .
The claim of the AISA as stated above clearly shows that in contrary to the avowed communist ideology,.
Chandrasekharji posed to have had faith in the ideology of nationalism. The critics may infer that such a statement was .
aimed at garnering votes in the then JNUSU elections by exploiting nationalist sentiments of the studentcommunity, but we are ready to give benefit of doubt and trust him for his words, that the spirit of nationalism was .
alive in hi.s heart of hearts. It appears ludicrous that AISA claims to be pursuing the agenda of .
' democratic and egalitarian India'.Being a student wing of erstwhile IPF and now CPI (ML), it was engaged in underground-armed struggle aimingto dislodge the Indian state and only a decade back, it joined the democratic process. It started participating in .
our democratic system not because it suddenly found faith in democracy but it was forced to do so in the face of its .
depleting cadre base and it realized that it was not possible for it to dislodge Indian state through armed struggle.The shift from terrorist-communist position to democracy is the most recent example of their ideologicaldefeat that these exhausted communists chose to be a part of our democratic system. It has joined our .
democratic system, however, only to subvert it from inside, while its .
nexus with other undergroundcommunist-terrorist organizations is an open secret. .
Even in JNU, it has the temerity to glorify Naxalite-.
terrorist movements and has been defending all kinds of terrorist and separatist activities. It has been trying tomasquerade its dangerous ideologies by sugarcoating it with democracy, though in fact and deed it has nothing todo with it. .
AISA is a novice organization and yet far it has failed to learn the democratic norms .
and traditions. Democratic system believes in respecting opposition and views, which are contrary to one's own. We respect thespirit of activism and struggle. ABVP recognizes all the students who are ready to devote and dedicate their energy.
and time for the redressal of our national and social questions. The activists may be divided into various ideological camps and may be working for the furtherance of different parties and views, but we feel the contending ideas will result in strengthening our democratic base. We don't believe in demonizing the student activists and In using.
abusive and derogatory remarks for great national leaders irrespective of political affiliations. Chandrasekharji for us was an EX-JNUSU president and a student activist and he will receive the respect which he deserves, even in the face of extreme provocation from AISA to abuse him..
In a most ridiculous manner AISA has sought to distance itself from the hitherto communist practice of.
establishing totalitarian states. They should explain to the student community why so far the communistshave failed to establish one single democratic state anywhere in the world. It is fact obvious to all that till datewherever communist have formed governments, they have been totalitarian and extremely autocratic ones. Mao's.
China, Stalin's USSR, Pol Pot's Cambodia, Castro's Cuba, are few examples, which are sufficient to expose their.
faith in democracy and an egalitarian order. The annihilation of numerous cultures in Central Asia, China andEastern Europe points to AISA's version of an egalitarian and plural society. The JNU community still remembers the day when all the AISA leaders fled the campus fearing police.
arrest the day Chandrasekharji was killed. The movement against Lalu Yadav and his oppressive regime waslaunched and led by the then JNUSU led by ABVP. AISA and all its leaders were absent from the movement anddid everything to sabotage the same. The same CPI-ML and AISA have been either supporting Lalu's regime inBihar or facilitating its continuance. TJ:ley failed to take any stand against the gangster Md. Shahabuddin, the .
person behind Chnadrasekhar's murder for the fear of losing Muslim votes. AISA has no moral position toobserve the death anniversary of Chndrasekhar; rather they should engage themselves in prayshchlt andsoul-searching exercise, if even an iota of conscience is left in them. AISA is answerable to the student community why it is trying to divert the crucial issues raised by ABVP inits last pamphlet. Why is the AISA led JNUSU silent on the issue of daily concerns like better food facility, medical.
facility, bus facility, bank facility etc. It has so far spoken not a single word on the issue of Mazhar Hussain. Itis understandable that the same compulsions of vote-bank politics, which stopped CPI-ML from launchingany movement against Md. Shahabuddin, is stopping AISA from speaking anything on the issue of MazharHussain. .
We appeal to the JNU community to donate generously for the treatment of Reshma, daughter of'a construction worker, Raju. .

The portrait was formerly assumed to have been a present from Castlereagh to his old friend Clancarty but accounts in the Clancarty family records reveal it to have been a purchase, Clancarty paying Lawrence £45 in two equal instalments, the last dated 27 January 1810 (letter from his great-great-grandson, the Hon Greville Le Poer Trench, 15 November 1961 in NPG archive). It was exhibited RA 1810 when Hazlitt denigrated it in 'The Catalogue Raisonné' as being '... in a fashionable coat, with his hair dressed in the fashion, in a genteel posture like one of his footmen, and with the prim smirking aspect of a haberdasher' (Works, IX, p 315). Copies are at Chatham House, Travellers' Club and (by Egan) at Wynyard Park. Lawrence painted three other portraits of Castlereagh, exhibited RA 1794, 1814 and 1821 (Kenneth Garlick, ‘Catalogue of Paintings, Drawings and Pastels of Sir Thomas Lawrence’ in Walpole Society Journal, XXXIX, 1964, p 123-30).
The 1814 version was the subject of a diatribe by Hazlitt in the Morning Chronicle, 3 May 1814, attacking the insipidity of Lawrence's portraits in general and the Castlereagh one in particular: '... it is not a likeness. It has a smug, upstart, haberdasher look, of which there is nothing in Lord Castlereagh. The air of the whole figure is direct and forward; there is nothing, as there ought to be, characteristically circuitous, involved and parenthetical in it …' (Hazlitt, Works, vol.18, p 18).

NEW YORK - Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) unleashed a stinging attack on Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) Wednesday night, ridiculing him as a politician who has made a career out of changing his mind. "More wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure," agreed Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record), a Democratic keynoter at the Republican National Convention.
The vice president hailed President Bush (news - web sites) as a "superb commander in chief" who has helped restore the economy since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and will lead the nation to victory in the war on terror. Bush "does not deal in empty threats and halfway measures," Cheney said in a prime-time speech at the convention podium delivered to a nationwide television audience.
Republicans launched their double-barreled attack on Bush's Democratic opponent as the president campaigned his way into the convention city, collecting the endorsement of the union representing New York's 8,600 firefighters, some of whom risked their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
"Four more years," they shouted — echoing the chants that floated up from the convention floor several miles away as delegates acclaimed the Bush-Cheney ticket for another term.
The speeches by Cheney and Miller were the main events of the evening, but the convention seemed to move 20 years back in time at one point as delegates took in a tribute to the late Ronald Reagan (news - web sites). They cheered at video clips of the late president at his most forceful, then again when they saw former President George H.W. Bush eulogizing him in June. Madison Square Garden bloomed with thousands of blue placards that read "Win One for The Gipper."
Cheney performed the traditional vice president's role in his turn at the podium, praising the man at the top of the ticket while denigrating the leader of the political opposition. "Time and again he has made the wrong call on na
In the wake of the Salon scandal, artists from Le Havre, namely Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy and Othon Friesz, sought to be close to the Fauves. The young painters went on excursions - often in pairs - and took advantage of the rapid expansion of the railroad network during the Belle Époque. They were pioneers in the development of tourism in Southern France. The paintings produced during this time bear witness to the close exchange between the artists. For their travels, they sought out destinations that had already been painted by the Impressionists, whether in the Parisian countryside, in Normandy, or in the South of France. Derain, Braque and Friesz repeatedly traveled to L'Estaque, a village near Marseille closely associated with Paul Cézanne (Camoin maintained personal contact with him). In terms of subject matter, the focus was on coastal landscapes and seaside resorts. The artists depicted bourgeois consumer society, drawing on the emerging advertising industry and the culture of tourism and leisure. Because of their rapid painting style and the two-dimensional effect of the pictures, art critics denigrated them as 'affichistes' (poster artists). They dispensed with priming the canvas, used mostly unmixed colors, combined different forms of paint application, or painted directly from the tube.

Economist Jim Stanford gives a presentation on how workers ARE the economy.
Watch the video at 1944.fyi/JpsRa7
“Here’s a plan for Alberta. Continue to use non-renewable resources in the short-term and have our eyes open to the future of that industry. We need to capture the maximum value from non-renewable resources. While we need to invest in the rest of the economy where 95% of Albertans work. Instead of cutting and denigrating public services, we need to celebrate its contribution to a strong economy and society. We need to invest heavily in infrastructure. And we need a proactive plan to deliberately share the wealth.”
“The economy is the sum total of the work we do. We need to get people working on things that matter. We need to carefully manage our resources and industries, and we need to share the wealth.”

Satan as the Crusher, Tamer and Destroyer of evilAddition to the grimoire "Gay Lust".
The album was compiled by His Majesty Satan's Fag Slut Sodomia ⚣ aka Antichrist SlutSodomia
2025 English version. Collection for 2021-2025.
One of the main themes of Satanism of any direction is the vengeance of Satan, the forces of Hell and the demons-Satanists in Hell on evil. Therefore, I dedicate the collection for immersion in the spiritualization of Satan SatanArt №6 (pictures №501-600) to Satan as the Crusher, Tamer and Destroyer of evil.
Many religions deliberately substitute the concept of revenge on evil with the concept of evil itself. These religions mislead people by presenting Satan and the forces of Hell in a negative light. Although, it is Satan and the forces of Hell that help destroy evil in our world and carry out retribution on evil in Hell. But numerous religions constantly denigrate Satan. The source of evil itself, i.e. "god", they set as an example to follow. Religions force you to worship evil, pray to evil, and mislead yourself forever and ever.

disrupted by TMC goons. Com. Abdur Rezzak Mollah, a veteran CPI(M) leader has been attacked with petrol bombs. Most deplorably, TMC goons attacked the office of the Ganatantrik Mahila Samity (the Bengal Wing of AIDWA) in South Dinajpur, dragged onto the streets its State Secretary, the senior communist and former parliamentarian Minati Ghosh and physically assaulted and verbally abused her. She has been hospitalised with serious injuries. .
Outrageously, Trinamool goons who have no connection with the Presidency University barged into the campus of this premiere institution of higher learning, roughing up students and vandalising parts of the building. The century-old Baker Laboratory of the Physics Department, one of the most famous departments of the college, was vandalised. Celebrated scientist and Nobel laureate C V Raman has worked in this laboratory, set up in 1913 by Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose. .
All these are part of a larger series of attacks on the left and democratic forces in West Bengal by the fascistic TMC under some hollow pretext or the other. Anybody raising any voice of criticism against the government has been branded a Maoist. Whether it be the case of the Jadavpur University professor who was arrested for forwarding an e-mail which took a dig at Mamata Banerjee, or that of the student who asked uncomfortable questions to the Chief Minister during a TV programme, or that of the farmer who was detained for voicing his grievances, the ruling dispensations absolute intolerance of criticism has reared its ugly head again and again. Well over 450 Left supporters have been murdered by the TMC and the CPI-Maoist since May 2009. .
While we are aware of the character of the corporate media and whose interests it serves, it is extremely unfortunate that DSF an outfit which claims itself to be a left student organisation has taken it upon itself to parrot the lies peddled by Mamata Banerjee. DSF has shamelessly chosen to denigrate the protest and the protesters by throwing abuses and calling names. It has made farcical claims of CPI(M) leadership trying to hijack the protests over Com. Sudiptos custodial death. Only those with a particularly jaundiced vision can hurl such accusations at an organisation for protesting its own comrades murder. .
The student community will see through the hoax of the moral preaching of the DSF, which has gone on to term the protests as infantile rowdy behaviour by picking on one unfortunate incident while mentioning the repression unleashed by the TMC in Bengal only in passing (DSF press statement, 9 April 2013), thereby mocking the genuine outrage of the protesters at the terror let loose by the TMC and its government. How different is the DSFs argument from the logic given by the ruling classes in order to brand and delegitimise every dissent and protest? Furthermore, the DSF has also taken recourse to white lies such as the protesters being non-students carrying placards of student organisations. Those who joined the protest by SFI, DYFI, AIDWA and CITU obviously included students, youth, workers and women, including working class women. What can one say if the decent sensibilities of the DSF are hurt by seeing working class women and men protesting alongside students against grave assaults on democracy? To call protesting working class women a bunch of rowdies is a shameless surrender by the DSF to a crass bourgeois belief in sanitised protests and protesters within the norms of ruling class decency. .
Without bothering to verify the facts of the matter, this bourgeois outfit has instead joined the bandwagon of Left-bashing. By choosing to attack the Left instead of rallying forces with it at a time when Left activists and sympathisers are being relentlessly attacked in Bengal, the DSF has shown that in the ultimate analysis, they stand with the thugs of Mamata Banerjee; they have shown what a sham their calls for left unity are. .
The DSFs position that attacks taking place in West Bengal since Wednesday are merely the repercussion of the heckling by SFI activists not only highlights their own political bankruptcy, but (whether consciously or not) actively assists in concealing the fascistic character of the TMC. We appeal to the student community to condemn the terror unleashed by the Trinamool Congress in Bengal and to rally behind the left .
and democratic forces in the fight for democratic rights. .

Com Chandrasekharan's Murder: Unending Saga of CPI(M)-.
SFI's Double-speak.
.
On the issue of Comrade Chandrasekharan's murder in Kerala, SFI sanctimoniously claims that.
it "condemns" the murder and demands punishment for the killers. This statement is yet another.
breathtaking instance of hypocrisy and double-speak. We have seen how SFI claims to "oppose".
AFSPA on JNU's walls, while CPI(M) implements AFSPA on the ground in Tripura. We have.
seen how SFI and CPI(M) claim to "fight" for socialism, while former chief minister of West Bengal,.
Buddhadeb Bhattacharya stated (honestly!) that CPI(M) was actually practicing capitalism!!.
.
So SFI's "condemnation" of Comrade Chandrasekharan's murder too is a similar exercise in.
double-speak - a hypocritical `democratic' pretension they are forced to maintain on the walls.
of JNU because of JNU's democratic ethos and the presence of a strong left radical force..
.
Let us have a look at some facts:.
.
Ø Two CPI(M) members and activists have already been implicated in the murder of Comrade.
Chandrasekharan. One is CPI(M) Kunnummal local committee member, KC Ramachandran,.
who reportedly paid the "quotation gang" which killed Comrade Chandrasekharan. Also, Ravindran.
Panayankandy, local committee member, Orkkatteri, is supposed to have helped the gang to.
confirm the identity of Comrade TPC..
.
Ø While CPI(M) members are being implicated in the murder, CPI(M) has issued an official press.
release stating that the Comrade TP Chandrasekharan and others left the CPI(M) because of.
"greed for power", and not due to any fundamental disagreement with the CPI(M)'s politics and.
programme. The CPI(M) Kerala state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan even refuses to acknowledge.
that Comrade Chandrasekharan was a communist, going to the extent of calling him a renegade.
and a traitor!.
.
Ø Hardly a few hours past the Comrade Chandrasekharan's murder, Kairali and People's.
Channel, two channels owned by the CPI(M), shamefully tried to bring in a "Muslim terror".
angle. They reported that the incident took place "near a mosque" and named only one person.
as a suspect (Rafeek, a Muslim name). They also mentioned that the car in which the assassins.
travelled had a sticker "Masha Allah" printed in Arabic and pasted on the glass! Again these.
channels after some time began reporting that "extremists" might be behind the incident. (.
www.doolnews.com/cpim-used-the-possibilities-of-muslim-te....
malayalam-article-546.html). Such absurd reporting is completely dangerous, opportunist and.
aimed at deflecting the investigation by giving it a communal hue..
.
Will SFI condemn the CPI(M) Kerala state committee for continuously denigrating Comrade.
Chandrasekharan and his legacy?.

JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY STUDENTS UNION .
September 13, 2001 .
Friends, .
We express our utter shock and. condemnation at the pamphlet Issued in the name of the President and Joint .
Secretary of the JNUSU yesterday, which was full of misinformation ranging from personal slander to sheer lies. T .
extent to which the JNUSU President and his group has stooped within the union council is amply demonstrated .
by the fact that the other signatory of the pamphlet I.e., the Joint Secretary of JNUSU was not at all present in .
the informal council meeting held on 11"' September. The way his name has kept on appearing In successive .
pamphlets of the JNUSU despite his total disappearance from the scene exposes the totally unaccountable and dubious .
nature of functioning of his group. .
It is also extremely unfortunate that the JNUSU President resorted t(") canards against the Vice President and .
the SSS Convenor in a most undignified manner, denigrating his office and bringing shame for the entire union. We .
categorically reject the entirely baseless charges leveled against them, which are nothing but figments of his .
Imagination. We also condemn the effort by the JNUSU President to give a casteist colour to the entire debate Just .
because we organized a public meeting on the Issue of caste In India. While our stated position has always been against .
Brahmlnical Ideology and casteism and never against Individual members belonging to any caste, the blatant lies .
published by the President surely expose his own desperation in raking up casteist and communal sentiments. .
This has become necessary for the JNUSU President both because of his political bankruptcy as well as his .
growing isolation within the student community following his total failure to provide leadership to the JNUSU. For instance .
he is trying to conceal his own silence on the SIT Issue so far, by blaming it upon soma former JNUSU President Apart .
from opposing the violation of reservation policy while seeking applications for admissions Into the SIT, he has totally .
glossed over the fact the fee for the three-month diploma course Is an astronomical Rs.15,000. .
The JNUSU President also falls to note that this School is being started without any transparent discussion .
regarding its course content, faculty recruitment, infrastructure, source of funding etc. We believe that this School of .
Information Technology is just a commercial shop being opened In JNU for the sole purpose of making money. It is not .
only devoid of any academic vision but would actually have a devastating impact upon the SC & SS, both in terms of .
drawing from its existent faculty strength as well as worsening the job prospects of the students in the longer run. Going .
by the position of the JNUSU President, It seems he would endorse these courses if the reservation policy is .
implemented and SIT is integrated ('?) with SC & SS without having any opposition to the astronomical fee of 15,000 .
rupees. We are totally oppond to thla Up eervice agalnat commerclalw.tion of education and demand a Teview .
of the entire proposal to start the SIT, Including Its present anti-deprived section admission policy and .
astronomical fee structure. .
The faithful swayamsevak within the JNUSU President has made a comeback with his spirited defence of the .
introduction of Human Consciousness and Yogic Science in JNU. These two courses are nothing but more sophisticated .
(hence undefined) versions of the set of obscurantist courses, which the UGC is imposing upon universities across the .
country. The shady justification for the introduction of some elusive 'consciousness studies' in universities by the .
President has raised serious doubts over his own level of consciousness. We would request him and his saffron brethren .
to rigorously learn and teach human consciousness along with yogic science, karamkand, Vedic astrology, witchcraft, .
black magic, voodoo worship, flying saucers, flat earth theory and human sacrifice In their ASS shakhas (which they are .
doing understandably) and leave the impeccable academic credentials of JNU alone. The progressive, secular and .
scientific minded students of JNU would never accept the proposal to introduce these undefined, mysteries and irrelevant .
courses which are being introduced through the backdoor without any discussion in the Academic Council or the Board of Studies in any school. The JNUSU President has been honest to an extent In admitting that the council meeting could not be held because of the absence of councilors from SES and SLS. We were expecting a bit more honesty from his part in .
also clarifying that these absent councilors belong to hfs own organisation and that they have been consistently absent In all the council meetings called eo far resulting In the fact that no formal council meeting has been held so far due to lack of quorum, since the teat JNUSU electlonal Therefore we find the call by the President for another council meeting to be quite farcical. We demand the Immediate convening of an UGBM to discuss the Issues of SIT and Human Consciousness I Yogic Sciences on which we have sharp differences with the JNUSU President. Under the .
JNUSU constitution, the general body of the students is t~e highest decision making body, which should be taken into confidence on such important issues having great bearing on the future of JNU. We believe that the student community would appreciate our position and respond positively to the demand for an UGBM since the dysfunctional JNUSU council under the inept JNUSU President and his group of irresponsible councilors has become totally incapable of raising any issue concerning the students. .
LONG LIVE PROGRESSIVE STUDENTS UNITY! .

It happened at the admin block·s admission assistance area; where Sumeet was standing along with other members of Youth For Equality to welcome fresher to help them out in the admission process. Purely unprovoked Criminal Pandey was standing frustratingly at the reception area and was making unacceptable .
ren1arks to Sumeet who was receiving the new comers. To avoid him, Sumeet changed his spot as he was .
assisting the new entrants. Criminal Pandey got disgusted with his own frustration and started argun1ent with Sumeet with the meanest slang one can imagine. When Sumeet decided to leave the place Criminal Pandey pushed him and beat him black and blue. Not satisL~d with the initial fight, Sadist Pandey hurled a sharp weapon on Sumeet's head. Now unconscious and severely injured Sumeet was receiving help from his friend to go to the health centre when murderous Pandey threw a stone from point blank at Sumeet's face. Poor Sumeet's .
reflex saved his face but not his ear! Immediately Sumeet was taken to the JNU health centre and then to the .

Strengthen The Struggle To Ensure Punishment For ABVP's Habitual Offenders! Resist The Administration's Indulgence And Inaction Towards the ABVP Lumpen Brigade!! .
The lumpens of ABVP, true to its cult of violence in the rest of the country is creating new records of vandalism in the campus almost every month. If it was an assault on a minority student in Lohit hostel in October 2007, it was large-scale public violence on the occasion of the Presidential Debate in November 2007. And now, on the occasion of Chandrabhaga Night, they chose to thrash and beat a BA first year student and even assault and injure a group 4 security staff. JNU administration, on all these occasions, displayed utter indulgence towards habitual offenders and did everything at their command to delay punishment as much as possible. However, the democracy loving students of this campus has always rallied with JNUSU against such repeated vandalism. In the Chandrabhaga case too, following the massive JNUSU-led demonstration, the visibly reluctant and indulgent administration was compelled to withdraw hostel facilities of Saurabh Dubey, one of the ring leaders of this lumpen brigade. But, given the nature of the administration, it remains to be seen whether they implement this punishment in practice or allow it to be sweetly flouted by its favoured lumpens. .
Given the completely politically motivated nature of the administration and its covert patronage to the history sheeters of ABVP, it is incumbent upon all the democracy and peace loving students on this campus to prepare for a protracted struggle under the united leadership of JNUSU to ensure stern punishment for all the grave offences that have so far gone unpunished. .
Few weeks back, the lumpen brigade of ABVP indulged in vandalism and physical assault on the faculty and students of the history department in Delhi University. DU's administration at least had the spine to send the criminals behind bars. Contrast this with the blind folded attitude of the JNU administration who refused to see any crime of its pampered kids. We have seen the very same administration acting with lightning speed if the accused happen to belong to other political formations. The question that is on everybody's lips is why does this administration overlook crimes every time ABVP is involved. .
Be it ABVP's vandalism in MS University, or in DU, or in JNU, AISA-led JNUSU had always been in the forefront of the resistance, demanding summary punishment. Isolated from the student community, ABVP has always tried to find protection under the administration's umbrella. So, our struggle for ABVP's punishment is inexpiably linked with exposing their unholy alliance with the powers-that-be. It is high time therefore that we wage a protracted battle against the twin enemies who are hell-bent on jeopardising campus security and JNU's democratic culture. .
SFI, which has a shoddy history of signing a Compromise Deed (1 November 2002) with ABVP to .
settle the case of violence committed by ABVP during Ashok Singhal's visit on campus on 10 August .
2002, is now instead of targeting the administration, is more interested in pasting baseless posters .
against JNUSU. However, one need not be surprised at SFI's role. It has been the live experience of the .
students of the campus that ever since SFI has been routed in JNUSU elections -be it the UGC .
fellowship movement, or the movement for better library facilities -their sole agenda has been to .
spread confusion, denigrate JNUSU, slander AISA and thus scuttle movements. The students of this .
campus are already seeing through the game of gimmicks and politicking. We appeal to the student .
community to reject slanders and forge a rock-solid unity with JNUSU in all the struggles ahead to .
punish the serial offenders of the saffron brigade enjoying immunity under administrative patronage. .
.

One of the main themes of Satanism of any direction is the vengeance of Satan, the forces of Hell and the demons-Satanists in Hell on evil.

Many religions deliberately substitute the concept of revenge on evil with the concept of evil itself. These religions mislead people by presenting Satan and the forces of Hell in a negative light. Although, it is Satan and the forces of Hell that help destroy evil in our world and carry out retribution on evil in Hell. But numerous religions constantly denigrate Satan. The source of evil itself, i.e. "god", they set as an example to follow. Religions force you to worship evil, pray to evil, and mislead yourself forever and ever.

by thousands of students and media). in which the BSF's Presidential candidate was heckled and attacked by them. The BSF had filed a complaint against them. The communists who were hand in glove with the Chaddhi brand manuvadis in that incident, kept trying to politically exploit this incident. Yet. for more than 10 months, the JNU Admn. sat quietly over the Enquiry Report. And finally, when the Enquiry Report was made public. it said (Hold your Breath...!) -"that BSF's Presidential candidate was responsible for this incident" and reprimanded him for his 'irresponsible conduct'. This is the sense of justice of the JNU manuvadis. If in such an open case, witnes'sed by thousands of students and full media glare, the manuvadis stoop down to such low levels of ''lies & deceit", one can easily imagine what happens in other such cases where SC/ST/OBC/RM students/faculty members are victlr!lized by manuvadis, owing to their complete hold on the "System". .
GSCASH: THE MANUVADI BRAHMASTRA AGAINST BAHUJANS: .
This_ law has been especially enacted in JNU to "check and o..e..utralize" inconvenienL SC/ST/OBC/RM students and Faculty members who can't be tackJed with the routine manuvadi conspiracies. This rule purportedly enacted to save the women from gender discrimination has been used with impunity by manuvadis to target Bahujans. In the past, most of the (alleged) culprits (or victims..?) penalized unrlP.r this rule are from Bahujan Samal and most of the complainants are manuputris. The BSF has already filed a question to JNU Admn. under RTI act to specify as to how mar.y cases have been reported in the past 15 years under GSCASH and what is the caste/religious category of the complainant as well as against whom complaint has been filed. Their reply is still awaited....! .
Not just that, ·in the last two days, many communists manuputras and their chamchas have approached Dharmendra giving him a veiled threat that if he doesn't withdraw his case against Sr. Warden and Kumar Ashish, he will have to face this GSCASH case against him as well (for which they claimed that they have two girls(manuputris) 'ready' from Chandrabhaga Hostel). But, Dharmendra bluntly told them to get lost and do whatever they can do. Yet, the fact remains that these manuvadis can fall to any level to ham1 the Bahujans. whether in JNU or elsewhere in the country. But, now since this manuvadi game plan is now in the open, the aSF has decided to take theseumanuvadis head-on. .

Keeping all these manuvadi conspiracies in mind, .the Bahujan Students' Front has decided to mobilize the Bahujan Students community to "oppose & expose'sthis manuvadi gandhigardi and-To protect the hcnour of The Father of Bahujan fndia-Babasaheb Dr Ambedkar.

The Revenant - 1949
Andrew Wyeth (American, 1917 - 2009)
Andrew Wyeth, the son of the well-known illustrator N. C. Wyeth, was born in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Wyeth was virtually a child prodigy but was not submitted to the rigorous academic training of his father's studio until age fifteen. He first achieved public recognition in 1937, with a sold-out exhibition of watercolors at Macbeth Galleries, New York. In 1940 he was the youngest member ever elected to the American Watercolor Society, and in 1945 he was elected to the National Academy of Design. About 1940 he began painting in egg tempera, a painstaking process that complemented his quick and facile watercolor technique.
In 1943 Wyeth was included in "American Realists and Magic Realists," an important show at the Museum of Modern Art. In the catalogue-and for the next two decades-Wyeth was grouped with a number of American Realists who painted disquieting, sometimes surrealistic scenes evoking the spiritual malaise and uncertainty that followed World War II. For Wyeth, this brooding and introspective emotion was universal and personal, related in part to the death of his father in a car accident in 1945.
Despite the art climate of the 1950s, which favored abstraction and denigrated Realism, Wyeth's work became famously popular. “Christina's World” (1948; Museum of Modern Art, New York) made Wyeth a household name. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s he was given one-man shows at Macbeth Gallery and M. Knoedler in New York and at Doll and Richards in Boston, and after 1944 his works were featured almost yearly across the United States, first with small groups of Realist painters or with other Wyeth family artists, and later in larger one-man shows.

The NBMAA collection represents the major artists and movements of American art. Today it numbers about 8,274 paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and photographs, including the Sanford B.D. Low Illustration Collection, which features important works by illustrators such as Norman Rockwell, Howard Pyle, and Maxfield Parrish.
Among collection highlights are colonial and federal portraits, with examples by John Smibert, John Trumbull, John Singleton Copley, Gilbert Stuart, and the Peale family. The Hudson River School features landscapes by Thomas Cole, Asher B. Durand, Martin Johnson Heade, John Kensett, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederic Church. Still life painters range from Raphaelle Peale, Severin Roesen, William Harnett, John Peto, John Haberle, and John La Farge. American genre painting is represented by John Quidor, William Sidney Mount, and Lilly Martin Spencer. Post-Civil War examples include works by Winslow Homer, Thomas Eakins, John Singer Sargent, George de Forest Brush, and William Paxton, and 19 plasters and bronzes by Solon Borglum. American Impressionists include Mary Cassatt, Theodore Robinson, John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, Willard Metcalf, and Childe Hassam, the last represented by eleven oils. Later Impressionist paintings include those by Ernest Lawson, Frederck Frieseke, Louis Ritman, Robert Miller, and Maurice Prendergast.
Other strengths of the twentieth-century collection include: sixty works by members of the Ash Can School; significant representation by early modernists such as Alfred Maurer, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Max Weber; important examples by the Precisionists Charles Demuth, Charles Sheeler, Preston Dickinson, and Ralston Crawford; a broad spectrum of work by the Social Realists Ben Shahn, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, and Jack Levine; and ambitious examples of Regionalist painting by Grant Wood, John Steuart Curry, and Thomas Hart Benton, notably the latter’s celebrated five-panel mural, The Arts of Life in America (1932).
Works by the American Abstract Artist group (Stuart Davis, Ilya Bolotowsky, Esphyr Slobodkina, Balcomb Greene, and Milton Avery) give twentieth-century abstraction its place in the collection, as do later examples of Surrealism by artists Kay Sage and George Tooker; Abstract Expressionism (Lee Krasner, Giorgio Cavallon, Morris Graves, Robert Motherwell, Sam Francis, Cleve Gray), Pop and Op art (Andy Warhol, Larry Rivers, Robert Indiana, Tom Wesselman, Jim Dine), Conceptual (Christo, Sol LeWitt), and Photo-Realism (Robert Cottingham). Examples of twentieth-century sculpture include Harriet Frishmuth, Paul Manship, Isamu Noguchi, George Segal, and Stephen DeStaebler. We continue to acquire contemporary works by notable artists, in order to best represent the dynamic and evolving narrative of American art.

NEW YORK - Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) unleashed a stinging attack on Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) Wednesday night, ridiculing him as a politician who has made a career out of changing his mind. "More wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure," agreed Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record), a Democratic keynoter at the Republican National Convention.
The vice president hailed President Bush (news - web sites) as a "superb commander in chief" who has helped restore the economy since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and will lead the nation to victory in the war on terror. Bush "does not deal in empty threats and halfway measures," Cheney said in a prime-time speech at the convention podium delivered to a nationwide television audience.
Republicans launched their double-barreled attack on Bush's Democratic opponent as the president campaigned his way into the convention city, collecting the endorsement of the union representing New York's 8,600 firefighters, some of whom risked their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
"Four more years," they shouted — echoing the chants that floated up from the convention floor several miles away as delegates acclaimed the Bush-Cheney ticket for another term.
The speeches by Cheney and Miller were the main events of the evening, but the convention seemed to move 20 years back in time at one point as delegates took in a tribute to the late Ronald Reagan (news - web sites). They cheered at video clips of the late president at his most forceful, then again when they saw former President George H.W. Bush eulogizing him in June. Madison Square Garden bloomed with thousands of blue placards that read "Win One for The Gipper."
Cheney performed the traditional vice president's role in his turn at the podium, praising the man at the top of the ticket while denigrating the leader of the political opposition. "Time and again he has made the wrong call on na
In the wake of the Salon scandal, artists from Le Havre, namely Georges Braque, Raoul Dufy and Othon Friesz, sought to be close to the Fauves. The young painters went on excursions - often in pairs - and took advantage of the rapid expansion of the railroad network during the Belle Époque. They were pioneers in the development of tourism in Southern France. The paintings produced during this time bear witness to the close exchange between the artists. For their travels, they sought out destinations that had already been painted by the Impressionists, whether in the Parisian countryside, in Normandy, or in the South of France. Derain, Braque and Friesz repeatedly traveled to L'Estaque, a village near Marseille closely associated with Paul Cézanne (Camoin maintained personal contact with him). In terms of subject matter, the focus was on coastal landscapes and seaside resorts. The artists depicted bourgeois consumer society, drawing on the emerging advertising industry and the culture of tourism and leisure. Because of their rapid painting style and the two-dimensional effect of the pictures, art critics denigrated them as 'affichistes' (poster artists). They dispensed with priming the canvas, used mostly unmixed colors, combined different forms of paint application, or painted directly from the tube.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'

NEW YORK - Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) unleashed a stinging attack on Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) Wednesday night, ridiculing him as a politician who has made a career out of changing his mind. "More wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure," agreed Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record), a Democratic keynoter at the Republican National Convention.
The vice president hailed President Bush (news - web sites) as a "superb commander in chief" who has helped restore the economy since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and will lead the nation to victory in the war on terror. Bush "does not deal in empty threats and halfway measures," Cheney said in a prime-time speech at the convention podium delivered to a nationwide television audience.
Republicans launched their double-barreled attack on Bush's Democratic opponent as the president campaigned his way into the convention city, collecting the endorsement of the union representing New York's 8,600 firefighters, some of whom risked their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.
"Four more years," they shouted — echoing the chants that floated up from the convention floor several miles away as delegates acclaimed the Bush-Cheney ticket for another term.
The speeches by Cheney and Miller were the main events of the evening, but the convention seemed to move 20 years back in time at one point as delegates took in a tribute to the late Ronald Reagan (news - web sites). They cheered at video clips of the late president at his most forceful, then again when they saw former President George H.W. Bush eulogizing him in June. Madison Square Garden bloomed with thousands of blue placards that read "Win One for The Gipper."
Cheney performed the traditional vice president's role in his turn at the podium, praising the man at the top of the ticket while denigrating the leader of the political opposition. "Time and again he has made the wrong call on na

23/10/2004 THI! SFI·AISF L.D JNUIU AND MODI!LS OF AISA ·TYPE OPPORTUNISMI: PART IV .
Friends, The most significant achievement of the SFI-AI.SF led JNUSUs since 1997 has been the successful resistance to the communal forces and repeated attempts made by the BJP led government to saffronise JNU and stifle the voice of the rr secular forces. Be it the imposition of the Code of Conduct imposed by the JNU Administration, which tried to ban student protests in JNU In 2000, the constitution of the Bahri Committee to target secular minded students following the mushaira Incident in April 2000 wherein the RSS demanded a closure of JNU for having become a "lSI den" or the efforts to introduce saffron courses like "Human Consciousness" and "Yogic Science" through the X Plan proposals in .
-..
2001 , the SFI-AISF led JNUSUs have successfully fought and forced the Administration to abandon these retrograde moves. In the course of these struggles AI SA was completely absent from the scene. In order to provide an excuse for their absence, the effort on the part of AISA has always been to denigrate .the resistance of the students to the r communal onslaught upon JNU and sell stories of ube1rayals" and "compromises". The best example of this devious tactic of the AISA was its efforts to propagate that a course on "Vedic studies~ has been introduced In JNU curriculum through a release quoting unsubstantiated media reports in January 2004, thereby claiming that the rejection of the X Plan proposals was a sham and blaming the SFI-AISF led JNUSU for a compromise" on the issue. However, on 3rd February a pamphlet signed by the General Secretary of the JNUSU stated that "The reports in certain sections of the media that the JNU Court had decided to start courses in Vedic Studies have been found to be incorrect". AISA never bothered to apologise for spreading misinformation on the issue. While AISA was totally absent from the historic agitation against the X Plan, which was the most decisive battle won by the students under the leadership of the SFI-AISF led JNUSU against attempts to saffronlse JNU, does the AISA have the right to denigrate these collective .
struggles of JNU students to serve their narrow partisan ends? .
In its pamphlet dated 18.10.2004 AISA has levelled outrageous charges against the Left leadership in JNU, by citing the so-called "compromise deed" on the 1Oth August violence unleashed by ABVP following the visit of Ashok Singhal to JNU. AISA is well aware that the documei'Tt they are citing was a statement submitted to the Magistrate signed by the Left and ABVP leadership at the behest of the then Election Committee before the JNUSU Elections 2002, In order to prevent undue Police Interference In the JNUSU elections. AISA is also aware of the fact that the leaders of the SFI, Com. Parimal, Com. Sadre Alam and Com. lndranll continue to be prosecuted under Sections 323, .
341 and 34 of the IPC In the Patiala House Court on the basis of the FIR made by the ABVP and the chargeshee1 submitted by the Delhi Police at the behest of the then Home Minister L.K.Advani on 27th Februa.ry 2003. (It is noteworthy that despite a change of government at the Centre, action is yet to be initated against the ABVP activists who were named in the FIR lodged by the Left activists). In fact the SIS councillor from AJSA accompanied the accused SFI leaders, including the current President of the SFI JNU Unit, when they appeared in the Patiala House Court on 13th November 2004 in "solidarity". Despite knowing about the prosecution being faced by the Lett leadership, AISA deliberately choses to spread canards against the SFI-AISF by citing a mythical "compromise11 .
.
The same cheapness is shown by AISA when it falsely alleges that nobody from the Left leadership was present at the meeting convened by the Harjeet Singh ..Committee, to probe into the violence during the Geelani Incident, when Com.Pritpal was the main victim of thin violence. Com.Pritpal and Com.Sanjay from the AISF had attended the meeting held on 28th September 2004. Moreover, the President of the SFI JNU Unit has already deposed before the Harjeet Singh Committee on 15th October 2004. AISA has made a ridiculous claim that the Police have not .
dared" to Interfere In the JNUSU polls because of the presence of the AISA in the JNUSUI Several SFI-AISF leaders Including Com.Parimal and Com. Pritpal were named in the FIR lodged by the ABVP after the ABVP lumpens were collectively prevented by the students from disrupting the Geelani meeting on 1fh August 2004 and Police Investigation has already started on the case. It is also a fact that while the Joint Secretary of the JNUSU was also named by the ABVP in their FIR, the name of the GeneraJ Secretary of the JN.USU does not appear in their complaint. Should w.. interpret it as a compromise between the AISA and the ABVP? .
AISA, which is always at pains to prove compromises" and ~betrayals" made by the SFI-AISF, is yet to answer why they made unethical and underhand electoral deals with the ABVP as well as the NSUI, during last years JNUSU elections in order to defeat the SFI-AISF candidate In the General Secretary's post. They have also not bothered to clarify their underhand deal with the ABVP and NSUI during the JNUSU elections 2000, when ABVP managed to defeat the SFI-AlSF by a single vote in the President's post. AISA is yet to explain why when they were leading the JNUSU from 1993-1995, ABVP experienced the strongest growth in JNU, eventually winning 3 out of the 4 Central Panel posts in 1996, with the SFI winning the President post by a margin of four votes, and AISA finishing in the third position in all posts? We urge upon the AISA to undertake deep introspection and desist from indulging in slander against the SFI-AISF and strengthening the hands of the communal forces In JNU. .

Boxer Jack Johnson (1878-1946) was the first African American to hold the title of heavyweight boxing champion of the world. He won the title by knocking out Tommy Burns, a Canadian boxer, in Sydney, Australia, in 1908. In the racist climate of the times, Johnson's victory was denigrated as a fluke, leading boxing promoters to search for a "Great White Hope" to regain the title. He defended the championship against white challengers four times before eventually losing it in 1915.
.
every stage. The JNUSU continues to challenge the seriously anti-student AC resolution which was finally used by the.
JNU Admin. to deny Masood admission. The AC Resolution, adopted on an `experimental basis' in Nov 2003, stipulates.
that aspirants to Direct PhD who also appear for the MPhil/PhD entrance exam in the same year, must clear MPhil/.
PhD entrance exam if their admission to Direct PhD is to be upheld; thus, it unjustly adopts double standards towards.
some Direct PhD candidates. This resolution has a bearing beyond Masood's case, and the JNUSU President forcefully.
pointed out its academically untenable and anti-student implications in a memorandum to the Vice Chancellor. Despite.
the fact that the SFI-AISF leaders within JNUSU have supported the Admin. in this unjust move, the JNUSU.
President has demanded that the AC review and revoke the anti-student AC resolution which can be used to.
harass deserving students in future..
.
Students and Karamcharis' March to HRD Ministry.
.
For the first time in the last decade, the JNUSU took the initiative of organising a joint March to the HRD Ministry with.
the JNU Karamchari Association, linking the freeze on appointment of non-teaching staff and the plight of daily wage.
workers with the deteriorating campus facilities. The AISA-led JNUSU mobilised a 100 students and karamcharis against.
the HRD, while SFI-AISF's total strength in that same Demo was just 7 in al l!.
.
Defending GSCASH's Autonomy:.
.
In a bid to cripple the GSCASH and rob it of its gender-sensitive spirit, the JNU Admin. ratified a new set of rules and.
procedures that are blatantly biased in favour of the accused, reinforce the hierarchies (such as faculty-student power.
equation) within the campus, and make GSCASH a pawn of the JNU Admin. while destroying its impartial and independ-.
ent position as visualised by the Supreme Court directive against sexual harassment..
.
The AISA-led JNUSU promptly spearheaded a protest against such assaults on the institution of GSCASH, and held.
a massive protest demonstration demanding that an emergency EC meeting be convened to scrap the new rules and.
procedures and to restore and ratify the old set of rules and procedures. The JNU Admin. has most insensitively denied.
this demand but, in the face of the JNU community's protest, has been forced to declare that the new rules will be held in.
abeyance for the present. We need to continue the struggle to ensure scrapping of the new set of rules and restoration.
and ratification of the old set..
.
Solidarity With Students' and People's Movements.
.
It was the AISA-led JNUSU which visited Manipur in solidarity with the movement against AFSPA (while the SFI-AISF.
stood in support the draconian killer law AFSPA). The AISA-led JNUSU responded promptly to the tsunami tragedy,.
organising massive collection drives in which the entire JNU student community participated, and also sending a relief.
team to affected regions..
.
The AISA-led JNUSU joined the massive movement of the students of Jadavpur University against the police.
crackdown on a peaceful hunger strike (while the SFI peddled the lie that it was students, not police, who had indulged.
in brutality). AISA councillors from SSS organised an exposure trip of students to the Kashipur-Koraput-Kalahandi.
zone of tribal struggles against Mining MNCs, starvation and state repression..
.
The JNUSU President was among the first to visit the Honda workers in Gurgaon, the very night after their brutalisation.
by the Haryana Police. The AISA-led JNUSU actively participated in the workers' struggle including the Haryana Bandh..
The AISA-led JNUSU played a leading role in solidarity with the struggle of Jamia students this semester..
.
Friends,.
.
Clinching a range of campus issues, defeating moves of corporatisation, linking the JNU students' move-.
ments to people's struggles from Manipur to Kashipur to Gurgaon, from Jamia to Jadavpur, the AISA-led.
JNUSU brought new colour to the JNU Student movement. AISA led the JNUSU in these initiatives in the face.
of an absconding Vice President, an inactive General Secretary and total non-cooperation on part of the rest of.
the SFI-AISF members of the JNUSU, who misused their majority in the Union to sabotage struggles and scuttle.
movements - be it against the Administration, against Nestle, or the UPA Government. This is evident from their.
attempt to defend Nestle to the last, to scuttle the attempt to hold a National Convention of students during the.
Monsoon Parliament Session, and their virtual non-participation in the March to the HRD Ministry on September 22..
.
Today, the SFI-AISF claims the last year has been an 'year of retreat' for the JNU student movement. We un-.
.
derstand their anguish: indeed, it WAS a year of retreat - for the politics of SFI-AISF which signed compromise.
.
deeds with ABVP, made protesting students sign apology letters with the VC, brought in corporates like Nestle, and.
.
defends draconian laws like AFSPA, anti-people policies like the killer Patent Amendment Act and police brutality.
.
against students inKolkata!.
.
While addressing and expanding a range of campus facilities, the AISA-led JNUSU's anti-corporate, anti-communal.
and pro-democratic initiatives made JNU students proud, thus posing a question mark to the anti-people, anti-stu-.
dent politics and pro-Congress policies of CPI(M) and SFI, and SFI's shadow boxing with ABVP. Small wonder,.
then, that the SFI-AISF is so desperate to denigrate the present leadership of JNUSU!.
.
We appeal to students to rally around AISA to strengthen and carry forward the attempt to make JNU a centre of.
genuine students' and peoples' movements in the country !.

The pretexts for the war were proved to be just lies. Iraq had no WMD and Iraq had no relations with terrorism. The war on Iraq was an illegal act of aggression, designed to increase the threat of terrorism and violence, in order to exert control. The continuing Occupation of Iraq is to rob Iraq of its oil resources, and enhance U.S. imperialist doctrine. .
So, as news of the appalling miseries of Iraqi women has piled up, where are Western feminists? Aren't women rights a universal demand? Are Western feminists allowing George Bush to steal their rhetoric to occupy Iraq and torture Iraqi women? Where is this international women solidarity? The setting up of an international war crimes tribunal to investigate and prosecute those who committed these crimes against the Iraqi people should be the aim of the world community. It will enhance human rights and democracy worldwide. .
George Bush "colonial feminism" and his use of women status in the Middle East is merely to denigrate Islam and Islamic culture, and serving U.S. imperial doctrine. The best way to redress U.S. crimes against Iraqi women and end the suffering is the immediate and full withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. This will allow Iraq to progress toward full sovereignty and national independence. .
The Occupation has had both immediate and long-term negative implications for the safety of Iraqi women and for their participation in post-war life in Iraq. The end of the Occupation will stop the chain reactions of violence, and may allow the victim's wounds to heal. .

Jamiats insidious agenda: Rejecting Vande Mataram is insulting India jnuabvp.blogspot.fr/ .
Tragically, the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hinds antediluvian though insidious agenda and its provocative assault on Indian nationhood by reiterating the fatwa against Vande Mataram have been legitimised by the presence of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram at the Deoband gathering. This is not to suggest that he was party to the outrageous resolutions; after all, as Mr Chidambaram has pointed out, all this was done before he arrived to address the gathering. But two points merit mention. First, as Home Minister, he should have been aware of what had transpired at the meeting. The Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind did not keep the resolutions a secret; on the contrary, they were posted on the organisations website. Second, it was expected of him to unequivocally condemn the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hinds denigration of the National Song and register his disagreement with the ulamas vision of a joyless world where women are treated as no more than chattel and where modernity is shunned with vengeance. It is immaterial that the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has craftily parroted the oft-quoted definition of jihad as being different from terrorism. Such vacuous declarations convince nobody, least of all jihadis who kill in the name of Islam. .
ABVP strongly condemn the narrow and idiotic ideas of fatwa issuing bodies Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind and likes (who should first learn what Bharat is) and urge progressive student community of JNU to demands for abolition of such unconstitutional and anti-social fanatic institution which want to jeopardize the stability and progress of the Indian society. We calls upon all the Nationalist, Democratic and Progressive minded students of JNU to rally behind ABVP and defeat the divisive, undemocratic, inhumane and anti-national designs of the Islamists. .

Friends, As the students' struggle against saffronisation, privatization and criminalization of our university gains momentum, attempts are already afoot to disrupt the unity of the student community and attack the .
ongoing JNUSU-Ied agitation. This attack was begun by the 'thinkers' of the ABVP who in a pamphlet dated 14.9.02 argued that is was incorrect to struggle against obscurantist and irrelevant courses like .
'Human Consciousness' since ~uch...obscurantism was part of our values and traditions and the concepts ofreason and rationality have been orought into our country by colonialism. Leave aside the irony that the .
RSS-which completely stayed away from our freedom struggle-is today talking against colonialism. the .
fact is that the ABVP's contention is a deliberate attempt to denigrate our heritage. What values is the .
ABVP talking about? Certainly not those cherished by Charvaka, Aryabhatta or Kabir. .
The values that the ABVP holds dear became clear on the night of 28th February when it brought out a communal march that targeted students and faculty members from the minority community. The values .
that the ABVP holds dear became clear once again on the night of 1Oth August when rts lumpen cadre .
chased and attacked a procession of peacefully protesting students, beating up JNUSU representatives .
and girl students and vandalizing the JNUSU office. The ABVP was only being true to its long traditions .
when last Sunday it brought out pamphlets and organized a procession attacking the GSCASH -an .
unique institution of gender equality and justice which the JNU Community, and particularly the student .
community, has built up through its struggles. day today, 'Open Space' -one of the As the hunger strike by the JNUSU President enters its 5111 .
innumerable front organizations of the RSS-ABVP -has come out with an extremely distasteful poster .
with communal overtones attacking her personally. The NSUI had pitched in too some days ago with a .
contribution that tried to poke fun at the students' hunger strike going on under the JNUSU banner. The .
attempt clearly is to spread pessimism about the potentialities of students' struggle among the student .
community, especially among the new students. This strategy of depoliticisation is precisely what the ABVP and NSUI practice in campuses like Delhi University where they are dominant. .
What these outfits would like us to forget is the fact that in a milieu where the policies of privatization and saffronisation being pursued by the NDA government at the Centre is changing the face of educational .
institutions across the country, JNU has been able to retain its unique character because of the stiff .
resistance that its student community has posed. It is because of these struggle that while fee hikes are the official policy, JNU still has a progressive fee structure; while resource cuts is the official pn!:r.y, two new hostels are being constructed in JNU; while a ban on recruitments is the official policy, salaries of students employed on part-time basis is being hiked in JNU; while the Delhi Government is proposing to .
discontinue bus passes for students, new bus-pass counters are being started in JNU. .
... In the many struggles which have been waged on these issues the ABVP has been conspicuous by its .
· :.. absence. Rather, its role has been that of sabotaging the student movement and ensuring that the RSS's policies are implemented in our university. With this aim it has disrupted UGBMs, burned effigies of the .
It has also accomplished impossible JNUSU, beaten up fellow-students, smashed window panes. intellectual feats like coming up with a syllabus for 'Human Consciousness'. .
Threatened by students unity against saffronisation and privatization, the ABVP has once again taken to .
We appeal to the student community to remain vigilant against such divisive .
its disruptive activities. .
elements. This is even more necessary now that we are in the midst of a crucial agitation whose outcome .
.
While the Administration has shown some positive .
movement under sustained students' pressure, it is only the continued united resistance of the progressivewill determine the character of our university. .
The SFI-AISF and democratic-minded students which can ensure that our demands our conceded. .
reaffirms its commitment to the ongoing struggle and urges the student community to rally under the JNUSU banner at this crucial juncture. .

Com Chandrasekharan's Murder: Unending Saga of CPI(M)-SFI's.
Double-speak.
.
On the issue of Comrade Chandrasekharan's murder in Kerala, SFI sanctimoniously claims that it.
"condemns" the murder and demands punishment for the killers. This statement is yet another breathtaking.
instance of hypocrisy and double-speak. We have seen how SFI claims to "oppose" AFSPA on.
JNU's walls, while CPI(M) implements AFSPA on the ground in Tripura. We have seen how SFI.
and CPI(M) claim to "fight" for socialism, while former chief minister of West Bengal, Buddhadeb.
Bhattacharya stated (honestly!) that CPI(M) was actually practicing capitalism!!.
.
So SFI's "condemnation" of Comrade Chandrasekharan's murder too is a similar exercise in.
double-speak - a hypocritical `democratic' pretension they are forced to maintain on the walls.
of JNU because of JNU's democratic ethos and the presence of a strong left radical force..
.
Let us have a look at some facts:.
.
Two CPI(M) members and activists have already been implicated in the murder of Comrade.
Chandrasekharan. One is CPI(M) Kunnummal local committee member, KC Ramachandran,.
who reportedly paid the "quotation gang" which killed Comrade Chandrasekharan. Also, Ravindran.
Panayankandy, local committee member, Orkkatteri, is supposed to have helped the gang to confirm.
the identity of Comrade TPC..
.
While CPI(M) members are being implicated in the murder, CPI(M) has issued an official press.
release stating that the Comrade TP Chandrasekharan and others left the CPI(M) because of "greed.
for power", and not due to any fundamental disagreement with the CPI(M)'s politics and programme..
The CPI(M) Kerala state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan even refuses to acknowledge that Comrade.
Chandrasekharan was a communist, going to the extent of calling him a renegade and a traitor!.
.
Hardly a few hours past the Comrade Chandrasekharan's murder, Kairali and People's.
Channel, two channels owned by the CPI(M), shamefully tried to bring in a "Muslim terror".
angle. They reported that the incident took place "near a mosque" and named only one person as a.
suspect (Rafeek, a Muslim name). They also mentioned that the car in which the assassins travelled.
had a sticker "Masha Allah" printed in Arabic and pasted on the glass! Again these channels after.
some time began reporting that "extremists" might be behind the incident.(www.doolnews.com/.
cpim-used-the-possibilities-of-muslim-terrorism-in-t-p-chandrasekharan-malayalam-article-546.html)..
Such absurd reporting is completely dangerous, opportunist and aimed at deflecting the investigation.
by giving it a communal hue..
.
Will SFI condemn the CPI(M) Kerala state committee for continuously denigrating Comrade.
Chandrasekharan and his legacy?.
.
Will SFI answer why CPI(M) did not join the state-wide bandh called by several parties immediately after.
this heinous murder? Today, Kerala is witnessing unprecedented shock, anger and resistance to.
Comrade Chandrasekharan's murder. It is widely believed in Kerala that the CPI(M) had a hand in his.
murder. V S Achuthanandan and state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan are engaged in a verbal duel, while the.
official state leadership of the Kerala continues to denigrate Comrade Chandrasekharan. And while all.
this happening in its own party, SFI comes up with a sanctimonious "condemnation" of Comrade.
Chandrasekharan's murder to try and prove its democratic credentials in JNU!.
