Ben Okri-A WAY TO BE FREE .

Much has been written about the case of continuous sexual harassment coupled with the assault on a DSU activist.Mritunjay Kumar Yadavendu and the resultant collective action of women on the 9th of December. To put the record straight this is a collective action of women some of who are activists of DSU, AISA and others who does not belong to any organization. .

As usual every organization on the campus are quick to point out that the collective action of the women was nothing but an excuse indulged in by elite upper-caste women against a hapless Dalit who is always an easy target. The SFI, whose women activists, on the 9 lh after the incident were seen giving suggestions to the women who had collectively confronted the sexual harasser have by now taken a complete volte face. For them now it has become a case ofDalit atrocity. AISA is not lagging behind. Vote bank politics has its own compulsions. Yes they have disowned their own activists in their effort to undermine the collective action of the women. While the first pamphlet of AISA and the JNUSU president quite audaciously and crudely condemned the act of the women the second pamphlet has given a nuanced discourse on the nature of gender oppression and the need for participatory action towards strengthening institutions of gender sensitization such as the GSCASH. A section of the UDSF (read NSUI & SFI inspired) have out rightly condemned this incident as Dalit atrocity as they see it as a case of selective targeting of a Dalit who is always defenseless. Their patriarchal instincts and pettiness have become so crass they are even spreadjog rumours that had these women targeted any upper-caste men they would have been raped by now. In other words this section of the UDSF want these women who have collectively confronted the sexual harasser-who is also the facilitator in the whole incident-to be raped to restore parity. .

Allegation 1: Ritesh should not have been confronted in his room, which is his private space It was in the private space of his room, which Ritesh consciously provided for his friends Siddharth Rai., Saurabh Dubey, Manoj (all three from JPF) and Arif that became the arena for mobiliz.ing public opinion against women belonging to left or radical political persuasions. This was a concrete act towards vitiating the public sphere so much so that it directly infringed on the free and fearless movement of not only these women but any women having similar beliefs. For having protested against such debasing innuendos such as 'these women are all prostitutes', (how much do they charge per night', 'they book autosfor soliciting customers' etc. Mritunjay was beaten up and strangulated by Ritesh Kumar on the 9t11 Ritesh Kumar, through his conscious acts had made his private space a political space to denigrate and demean women. The private had become public. It had become a necessity that he should be confronted wherever he was. .

Allegation 2: The women have taken law into their hands? It was due to the struggles of the women's movement outside and inside the campus that the court was forced to first come out with a definition on sexual harassment in the Visha.ka Judgement. Before this judgement also there were sexual harassments. There were protests too. Some of the protests had deviced their own mechanisms of retribution of justice. Did they take law into their hands? And in many regions in our country only the protests of the people have guaranteed that the long arm of the state cannot act with impunity. It is the conscious people and their vigilant struggles that have ensured some form of justice to the people from the institutions of the state, not a blind, uncritical faith in them. In this light, the collective action of the women on the 9th of December will only strengthen institutions like the GSCASH. The won1en who had participated in the collective action had on the 9lh itself lodged a complaint with the GSCASH. They had informed the JNUSU (AISA, AISF, SFI), the student representative of GSCASH about the sexual harassment. DSU understands this collective action as one of the effective forms of strengthening the institutions such as GSCASH that should serve as a source to .

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.

Down with moral policing and .

objectification of Women! .

Defeat the attempts of the Sanghi-Right .

Wing forces to curb women's freedom!! .

.

We strongly condemn the highly objectionable and blatantly patriarchal notice brought out by Right-Wing forces on this campus masquerading as 'Students for Constructivism'. The agenda of .tnoral policing and i1nposing restrictions on women in the natn e of protecting 'culture' is clearly visible in this obnoxious notice. It is the same patriarchal mindset, which, on the one hand seeks to curb women's freedom and on the other, objectifies women. The notice brought out by these so-called new constructivists resorts to extremely patriarchal stereotyping of women, which is not only antithetical to the progressive culture of our campus, but also completely unacceptable. .

The Sangh.i Brigade has always sought to curb women's freedom by such moral policing and through the imposition of arbitrary restrictions. In a patriarchal society like ours, \vomen have persistently fought against the oppressive traditional norms curbing their freedom. T:"'lc notice ~;rc,ught out by these ~\.; calleu new construct~ v ists clearly seeks to .

reinforce these same oppressive norms and thereby denigrate the struggle for women's .

.

emancipation. These self-proclaimed custodians of culture have also justified the crimes .

and atrocities against women and in a characteristically patriarchal vein blamed women. .

Whether it be crimes like Honour Killings for choosing life partners, brutal rapes, child abuse .

.

and sexual harassment, the woman is blamed relentlessly by these reactionary forces. These .

.

show their attempts to suppress women's freedom, mobility and obstruct the struggle ftyr equality. The hollowed claims of these forces of being custodians of culture are thus thoroughly exposed. .

SFI-AISF appeals to the entire student community to isolate these reactionary patriarchal forces and unite to defeat their agenda of moral policing and preservation ofthe oppressive traditional norms dictated. The student community of JNU has consistently championed the cause of gender justice and fought to uphold the gender sensitive character of our campus. It is of importance that these reactionary forces are given a fitting rebuff to maintain the progressive .

ethos ofour campus. .

OPPORTUNISM+SECTARIANISM=ABSURDITY.

.

Friends, .

The AISA in our campus finds itself in a peculiar position. Driven by electoral opportunism to seeksupport from right-wing formations like the NSUI and the ABVP during last years JNUSU elections, the AISA.

has been trying hard over the past year not to offend its new-found friends. One will search the w alls ~f our.

university in vain for an AISA poster or pamphlet that is critical of the Congress's espousal of neo-lrberaleconomic policies, the NSUI's politics of money and muscle power or the RSS-BJP-ABVP's attempts topursue its fascistic Hindutva agenda with increased aggressiveness. Instead, the AISA has joined these.

forces and the monopoly-controlled mainstream media to launch a campaign of lies and slander directedagainst the organized Left. .

AISA'The AISA biggest point of criticism against the Left is its support to the UPA government. What is the.

s own position on this matter? Would it prefer a government run by the fascistic RSS-BJP? All we getfrom the AISA is the carefree answer: the CPI(ML) does not have any MPs in this Parliament. We would liketo remind the AISA that this is not because of any lack of efforts on their part. The CPI(ML) (Liberation), to.

which the AISA owes allegiance, has long since quietly broken with the original Naxal position of declaringthe Indian Parliament as a pigsty from which all true revolutionaries must stay away. In the last generalelections too the CPI(ML)(Liberation) had put up candidates all across the country. That none of them could.

win is the strongest possible indictment of the ultra-Left's complete alienation from the people and its inabifityto carry forward the struggle for their rights..

In sharp contrast, the Left Front has seen its struggles against communalism and nee-liberalism being.

vindicated by the increased support it has received from the people in these elections. It was the Left Front.

and the organized Left which had taken the lead, even before the UPA government was formed, in.

demanding that the people's mandate against liberalization be respected and that there be a structural break.

in the sphere of economic policy. It was the organized Left which had taken the lead in mobilizing the people.

against the anti-people Budget presented by the UPA government. While the AISA was deep in its.

Kumbhakarn'.

.

s sleep after the Budget was presented, the SFI had taken a lead in organizing an all-India. -.

convention against the government's anti-student policies in which a large number of students from JNU had.

also participated. While fighting against these policies, the Left is at the same time conscious of itsresponsibility of ensuring that the fascists of the RSS are not able to regain their hold on state power..

The AISA is now speaking in one voice with the anti-Communists of the mainstream media in.

denigrating the achievements made by Left Front governments in states like West Bengal and Tripura.However, the most conclusive refutation of these lies has come from the people of these states themselves.

who have voted the Left to power with huge margins in successive assembly elections. Underlying thispopular support are the ceaseless struggles by the Left to defend the rights and livelihood of the toilingmasses. Building on the successful implementation of land reforms and the democratization of power fo tflepoor to the Panchayati Raj institutions, Left Front governments have ensured that the lot of the commonpeople has improved in terms of decreasing poverty and increasing employment an incomes at a time wheninequalities have sharpened in the rest of the country as a result of the policies of liberalization. Unlike states.

like Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Karnataka which have become totally subservient to the IMF and the World.

Bank, the governments in these states have ensured that even when the policy framework imposed by the.

Centre and the fiscal constraints have forced them to seek funds from FDI or international institutions, theinterests of the working people are fully defended. In terms of protecting people's rights, West Bengal andTripura are among the very few states in our country where the draconian POTA was never imposed.Contrary to the canards spread by the AISA the Left Front has upheld the rights of the working people toprotest and has stood up against legislative and judicial attempts to curb these rights.While the organized Left continues to fight against the anti-people politics of both the BJP and the.

Congress with the goal of taking our country on an egalitarian path of development, the ultra-Left sees theLeft as its sole enemy against which it is willing to ally with any other force however reactionary. Thus while.

the AISA joins the ABVP and NSUI 1n JNU, ·the PWG joins the landlords of the Trinamool Congress of West.

Bengal in their attempts to reverse land reforms in that state by the force of arms. The justification-that theorganized Left is 'social fascistic'-is reminiscent of positions taken by the ultra-Left in its early days when itused to ally with US imperialism on the grounds that it was a 'paper tiger while the 'social imperialist' SovietUnion was the real danger! Such an extreme sectarianism which completely disregards the real enemies ofthe people in the struggle against those who do not nieet their standards of 'purity'.

isolation of the ultra-Left in our country and its inability to increase its popular support.has seen the completely .

We appeal to the students of this campus to expose this sectarian politics and isolate opportunisticforces like the AISA in the struggle against the privatization, commercialization and communalization of.

TOWARDS 7th CONFERENCE .

Friends, .

The ih conference of ABVPJ JNU Unit is going to be held tomorrow (11-3-2000) in the context of rapid change in our polity, which to some extent has also affected the JNU Campus. Last years elections saw the installation of a nationalist government at the Centre which, however, is suffering from various .

constraints. We welcome the people's rejection of communist forces as well as the Italian-bam candidate for Prime Ministership.However, having been defeated at the hustings, the left and anti-national forces, being unable to digest the rejection of their ideology at the hands of the people for the umpteenth time, have started a vicious and virulent maligning campaign against all nationalist forces in the country. Being unable to realize the fact that Hindutva is synonymous with the spirit of this country and the nationalism of our people, they have launched a campaign to denigrate Hindutva and all individuals and organisations who espouse Hindutva. For the left, it is understandable when Muslims agitate for a ban on 'Satanic Verses' or against the recent visit of Taslima Nasreen or the recent shooting of 'Gadar' in Lucknow, or when Christians demand a ban on 'Cotton Mary' or when congressmen go on the rampage against 'Hey Ram! No freedom of expression comes in the way of these demands and agitations. It is only when Hindus agitate against the denigration of their culture and religion in ~water' that such a demand is tantamount to a 'fascistic attack' on the 'freedom of expression'. Is the freedom of expression restricted to a particular community or should the same standards be applied to all? it is this blatant hypocrisy of the left which has left it alienated from the people and stripped of all legitimacy. .

We have recently seen attacks on the ABVP in the media over its alleged move to 'ban' Valentine's Day and to impose a dress code. The Parishad has made it clear through press statements and would like to clarify once and for all .

UNITE AGAINST THE ANTI-STUDENT AOMINISTRATION I.

Friends, · We woHid like to congratulate the student community for protesting in large numbers in yesterday's protestdemonstration regarding the student commurrtty's Charter of Demands. It was because of the united student struggle that.

,the. Administration was forced to concede many of the demands regarding the upgradation of Library fadlities. The.

Administration has committed to keep the textbook section open till midnight throughout the yearand the first tofifth floors open till midnight during examination time. The tirt;1ings of Dl:lolpur house has also been extended tillmidnight and we shall continue ttie struggle to ensure t~at it is kept open 24 hours. The renovation of DholpurHouse will be started soon. The most important demand of a 'Book Bank' facility to lend textbooks for the entiresemester has also been met. A committee has been constituted with representation from the JNUSU to finalisethe list of books to be covered under this scheme. The Administration has also committed to complete thecomputerized cataloguing of language collections within a month.While the Administration has thus met a large majority of our demands regarding the libraries, it is yet to respondon other issues-in the Charter. The issue of student representation in the A.C., E.C. and JNU Court as oppos~d tothe Model Act's vision of nominated bodies is the crucial issue which will detennine the future of our university..

The Administration has also not taken any action against the habitual sexual harasser Bhaskar Yadav so far.

despite the initial one week's time it had sought for an enquiry having elapsed long ago. Other important issues like theincrement in MCM, student representation in the Gtievance Redressal Committees, formation of a committee to reviewthe admission.policy, ratification of the rules and procedures of GSCASH, upgradation of sports' facilities etc. have yet tobe addressed by the Administration.Another issue that has recently arisen is the Nestle outlet being constructed near Tapti hostel. The SFIhas been consistently opposed to the use of university property for purposes which may cater only to a small section ofthe university community 0r the handing over of existing public spaces like dhabas to corporate interests. It is with thisvision that SFI-AISF led JNUSUs have in the past opposed the Administration's attempts to tum the Ganga Dhaba areainto a shopping complex and have taken initiatives to establish control over the prices and services provided in thedifferent establishments in the campus. In the present instance also we demand that the Administration make public the.

terms under which Nestle has been allowed to establish an outlet In the campus and the rate-list prescribed for this outlet.On all these issues it is only united student struggles that can defend the democratic character of our universitf.and ensure the provision of batter facilities, just as these struggles have had such significant achlevemen1 in the case ofour demand for more books and better library facHilies. tn this context, it is shameful that in keeping with their anti-studenttrack record organizations like the NSUI and the ABVP have remained completely aloof from the ongoing struggles on thecharter of demands. However, it is even more shocking that a self-declared 'militant' organization like the AISA,which also has elected representative in the Students' Union, has used such an important struggle like this onlyfor sectarian self-advertisement~ The role of the AISA has been confined to registering its actions during protestactions.' while completely abdicating its responsibility of mobilizing the student community for these struggles. Leavealone its other members, even JNUSU office-bearers and councilors from AISA have been absent throughoutfrorn all the class campaigns, room to room campaigns and mess campaigns carried out to take the me~sage ofyesterday'~ demonstration to the student community. The same councilors had been quite active in car.ymg out asignature campaign from their organization at a time when a JNUSU Council meeting had already been called to discuss.

the C~arter of Demands. It shows the height cf AISA's political bankruptcy that it is now presentin.g this extr_emely~ectanan parallel unio~ activity-the signature campaign that never got submitted-as proof of its co~mrtme~t.o~ s Jdent.

1ssues! If this commrtment had really existed then AISA would have worked towards strengthenrng the Jom. .

~usu.

platform rather thnn seeking to undermine it for narrow partisan propaganda. . .Bereft of any issue to place before the student community, the AISA has resorted to a peculiar kand ofshadow boxing in order to hoodwink the student community. It had sought to create sensation by claimi~g first thatthe Gomti Guest House was about to be privatized and then that courses on 'tantr.c studies' were about to be mtroduced.

~n ou~ ~niversity. Now that both these ties have been exposed, the AISA is claiming that it has war~ed off these attac.ks by1ts mrlrtant rhetoric alone. We would like to ask where, how and when has AISA fought agamst these non-exrstent.

proposals. We would like to remind the student community that when united student struggles had repeatedlypushed back the introduction of self-financing courses and obscurantist programmes like '~um~nCo~sciousness' in our university in 2002-03, it was the same AISA which had denigrated the histoneachievements of the student community by claiming that a compromise had been stuck. .

. ... We ~ppeal to the AISA to desist from playing a disruptive role in the_ stu_d~nt struggle through tts ~olrtrcs ~fconfus1on. If 1t lacks a vision of its own to place before the student community, 1t IS welcome to ~orrow-Justas Ithas bo~owed the demands for a 'Book Bank' facility or that of the democratization of the gn~vance redressalmechanism from the agenda originally placed by the SFI-AISF even before the last JN.USU elect!ons.We appeal to all progressive, secular and democratic-minded students of th1s unty~~s1ty to rally underthe JNUSU banner to carry forward the struggles for greater democratization and better facllat1as. .

Participate in Large Numbers in the UGBM Tomorrow!.

.

Unite for Expediting the JNUSU Election Process and Safeguarding JNUSU Constitution !.

.

Unite to Demand Immediate Holding of AC/BoS/ GSCASH Elections!.

.

Resist All Attempts to Hold Back AC/BoS/ GSCASH Elections!.

.

For the past couple of weeks, the campus has seen an intense debate on the issue of JNUSU elections as.

well as elections to statutory bodies like AC/BoS/GSCASH. The issues at hand are crucial to defending the.

democratic ethos of JNU, and our long tradition of a spirited and organised student movement..

.

AISA stands by the consensus resolution on negotiations with the SG towards holding the JNUSU.

elections, as the resolution addresses the concerns about defending the JNUSU Constitution and ensuring.

that JNU students take a final decision on outcome of the negotiations through a UGBM..

.

AISA has proposed that elections for student representation in the AC/BoS/GSCASH be initiated simul-.

taneously with ongoing efforts to defend the JNUSU constitution and conduct the JNUSU elections. We have.

always maintained that the struggle at hand is for ensuring a unified struggle for all elections (JNUSU, AC,.

BoS and GSCASH), that these elections are not separate components but part of a total whole..

.

Mindless Tirade of SFI Against AC/BoS/GSCASH Elections.

.

It is highly unfortunate that the SFI, instead of responding positively to this perfectly reasonable and.

logical proposal, has chosen to launch a tirade against it. In its room-to-room campaigns, SFI has resorted.

to the most illogical denigration of the importance of student representation in these statutory bodies. If the SFI.

campaigners are to be believed, student representation to AC/BoS/GSCASH are completely `ineffective' and.

`worthless'. Various lies and misinformation is being spread amongst the student community - claiming that.

the AC does not take `important decisions' concerning students, there are `only' 7 student representatives who.

have very limited power since they do not even have voting rights, AC meetings are held "just twice a year", so.

there is not much point of student representation in this body - to give a mere gist of this ridiculous campaign..

.

May we remind the SFI that the AC, which meets twice a year, takes decisions that have far-reaching reper-.

cussions on the very fundamental character of JNU; decisions that effect generations of students. The elected.

student representatives in the AC/BoS/GSCASH are more than observers; they HAVE the right to vote if any.

decision is actually put to vote. Student representatives can participate in all decisions of the AC except those.

pertaining to student evaluation and service conditions for faculty members..

.

A quick look at some of the decisions taken at the JNU AC - JNU's main decision making body - will.

expose the hollowness of SFI's claims: most recently, it was the AC which had the mandate to take the final.

decision on implementation of OBC reservations. It was the AC which decided to implement JNU's unique.

deprivation point system. It is the AC which decides whether or not fees are hiked in JNU. The AC decides.

which new academic departments and courses should be started in the university, it decides the admissions.

procedure that JNU will follow - practically EVERY major decision that affects us will be taken at the AC..

Every major struggle of the student movement ultimately sees the student community pressurising the.

AC to take a pro-student stand. It is inside the AC that the Administration tries to promote deliberate con-.

fusions and mislead the AC on crucial issues as it did in the case of implementation of OBC quota recently..

Student representatives within it could play a crucial role in putting forward the students' position and coun-.

tering misleading propaganda..

.

Which responsible student organisation will advocate that students willingly forgo and delay elected.

representation in such a body? It is therefore highly unfortunate that SFI is choosing to oppose immediate.

elections to representation in the Ac/BoS/GSCASH - with absolutely no logic or rationale, and simply.

to score petty political points because AISA happened to make the proposal!.

.

The question we need to ask is: what is the purpose today of denigrating student representation in statutory.

bodies, including the Academic Council which is the highest decision-making body in JNU? Why this unnec-.

essary and illogical `competition' between JNUSU and AC/BoS/GSCASH? Why is SFI forcing the student.

community to make a choice between JNUSU and elections to these statutory bodies? Any comparisons be-.

tween JNUSU and elected representation in statutory bodies are unfair and illogical. JNUSU has its own.

role, and representation in AC/BoS/GSCASH has its own role and importance, and each is complementaPr.yT.tOo..

Nowadays, few people are aware that most scientists of our time are believers, including many of those who were once atheists. People deliberately refrain from disclosing this. It must also be said that some of these scientists prefer to remain discreet in the interest of their career. The atheist establishment has indeed replaced that of the church and calls the shots from now on. Woe betide those who contest this – they are “excommunicated”, vilified, denigrated and silenced, if possible.

ca·rry Forward The Ongoing Struggle To Final Victory !Reject Lyngdoh Committee's Assaults on Stydents' Rights On Campuses !!Today, students are completing the third day of their indefinite hunger strike. The main demand of the students is theperfectly genuine and urgent one-that all needy students should not have to experience distress or drop out due to lack ofmoney. The JNU Admin. and VC, instead of responding positively and seriously to the demand, simply offered a tokenmeagre increase in the MCM amount. And now the VC has simply vanished from the campus, leaving the hunger-stnkingstudents to their fate. His refusal to respond forced students to resort to an indefinite hunger strike, and now he feels nourgency to address the students' demands speedily, before the condition of the hunger strikers worsens. In this contextAISA takes strong exception to the Administration's devious move to circulate a DSW statement which does notgive any fresh commitment regarding the contentious issues but is solely meant to confuse the student communityat the peak of a movement. We warn the administration that the JNU students cannot be fooled by such devious tact1csand we would unitedly fight for every inch our rights I We asked the VC a simple question: .

If you have crores to spend on parks and decorative gates-why do you have no funds to spare for financialsupportto enable needystudents to study withoutstress?.

lt is because the VC has no answer to this question that he has escaped from the campus!Who decides financial priorities for the Universities? Who decides what can be funded and what neglected?.

These decisions, let us be sure, are POLITICAL decisions-taken by those in Governments, and imposed by insntut1onslike our VC and Admin. The politics of Governments these days is to slash spending on education, and to make educat1ona commodity available only for the rich. The same politics can be seen in the decisions that demolish slums to make waytor malls and commonwealth games. .

To resist such an anti-people and anti-student politics. we need an alternative politics-that is will1ng to struggle botdlyand fearlessly against the tide of Government and Administrative policies. It is this alternative politics that we bu1io.! oyparticipating 1n hunger fasts, strikes, and dharnas at the UGC. The Administration will claim that student strikes harmeducation and study. We say: our strikes are to enable all, irrespective of the money in their pockets, to stud')~..

we ask students to boycott one day's classes; we ask teachers and karamcharis too to support the students striV.e. .

Hindu Nationalists decry and denigrate the Indian national flag.

.

Modi Sir, as a senior and prominent whole-timer of the RSS you must know that on the eve of.

Independence the above mentioned RSS organ used the following language against the Tri-colour,.

the new National Flag of India:.

.

The people who have come to power by the kick of fate may give in our hands the Tricolour.

but it never [sic] be respected and owned by Hindus. The word three is in itself an evil, and.

a flag having three colours will certainly produce a very bad psychological effect and is.

injurious to a country.3.

.

Hindu nationalists ran coalition governments with the Muslim League in 1942-43.

1942 was a critical year in the history of India's Freedom Struggle. In a nation-wide call the British.

rulers were asked to `Quit India'. The rulers responded by turning the country into a hell: armed.

squads killed common Indians completely disregarding the rule of law, millions were arrested and.

thousands suffered unparalleled repression. The Congress governments which were ruling different.

Provinces of British India were dismissed. The only political organizations allowed to work were.

the Hindu Mahasabha and the Muslim League. These two organizations united to serve the rulers.

and formed coalition governments. It was corroborated by the mentor of RSS. `Veer' Savarkar in.

his presidential address to the 24th session of the Hindu Mahasabha at Kanpur in 1942 declared,.

.

In practical politics also the Mahasabha knows that we must advance through reasonable.

compromises. Witness the fact that only recently in Sind, the Sind-Hindu-Sabha on.

invitation had taken the responsibility of joining hands with the League itself in running.

coalition Government. The case of Bengal is well known. Wild Leaguers whom even the.

Congress with all its submissiveness could not placate grew quite reasonably compromising.

and socialable as soon as they came in contact with the HM and the Coalition Government,.

under the premiership of Mr. Fazlul Huq and the able lead of our esteemed Mahasabha.

leader Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerji, functioned successfully for a year or so to the benefit of.

both the communities.4.

.

When Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was trying to liberate India, the Hindu nationalists were.

helping to strengthen the British rule and its armed forces.

.

Sir, you must be familiar with the name of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, who tried to liberate India.

militarily with the help of Germany and Japan. However, during this period `Hindu Nationalists',.

Sir, it may not be out of context to know your attitude towards National Flag which.

represents a Democratic-Secular India. It is important to know it from the head of.

organizations which swears by Hindutva. I would like to draw your attention to the following.

statement which appeared in the English organ Organizer, again on the eve of Independence:.

.

"The people who have come to power by the kick of fate may give in our hands the Tricolour.

but it never [sic] be respected and owned by Hindus. The word three is in itself an evil, and a.

flag having three colours will certainly produce a very bad psychological effect and is.

injurious to a country.".

.

Can those who denigrate the National Flag in such foul language be allowed to rule this.

country?.

.

Sarsanghchalak ji! Lay persons like me need to know from practitioners of Hindutva like you.

what you think of Democracy. I would like to draw your attention to a statement made by.

second Sarsanghchalak of the RSS and its most prominent ideologue till date, M. S..

Golwalkar. As per the RSS archives Golwalkar ji while addressing a group of 1350 top level.

cadres of the RSS in 1940 declared:.

.

"RSS inspired by one flag, one leader and one ideology is lighting the flame of Hindutva in.

each and every corner of this great land.".

.

Learned Bhagwat ji! This slogan of one flag, one leader and one ideology was also the battle.

cry of Fascist and Nazi parties of Europe in the first half of 20th century. What they did to.

democracy is well-known to this world. Can those who believe in such totalitarian designs be.

allowed to rule our country?.

.

DOES HINDUTVA STAND FOR CASTEISM?.

.

Sarsanghchalak ji! You will agree with me that RSS and its brother organizations who want.

to have a Hindutva rule in India hated the Constitution of India which was drafted under the.

guidance of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. When the Constituent Assembly of India had finalized the.

Constitution of India RSS was not happy. Its organ, Organizer in an editorial on November.

30, 1949, complained:.

.

"But in our constitution there is no mention of the unique constitutional development in.

ancient Bharat. Manu's Laws were written long before Lycurgus of Sparta or Solon of Persia..

To this day his laws as enunciated in the Manusmriti excite the admiration of the world and.

elicit spontaneous obedience and conformity. But to our constitutional pundits that means.

nothing.".

.

Bhagwat ji! It may not be a secret to you that Savarkar ji remained a great protagonist of.

Casteism and worshipper of Manusmriti throughout his life. The institutions of Casteism and.

Untouchability were the outcome of Manu's thought about which Savarkar said the.

following:.

.

"Manusmriti is that scripture which is most worshipable after Vedas for our Hindu Nation.

and which from ancient times has become the basis of our culture-customs, thought and.

practice. This book for centuries has codified the spiritual and divine march of our nation..

Down with the shameful attempts of 'JNU forum against war on .

people' to violate 'the national emblem act' !! ! .

Right to free expression and speech should be followed by .

responsibility and transparency !!! .

.

Dear friends, JNU has always been known for its progressive student politics. Student organizations in this campus have always been at the forefront to struggle and fight for issues which effect our nation and its people. This progressive and sensitive culture has always been possible because of the freedom, which all organizations enjoy here. Everybody in this campus enjoys the freedom and democratic right to express their views and concerns on whatever issue they like. This is precisely why JNU politics· is hailed across the country. However, unfortunately there have been few organizations in the campus that have indulged in unlawful activities in the guise of the freedom enjoyed without showing any amount of responsibility or transparency. Recently the student community has witnessed such acts for instance the shameful celebrations that took place at Godavari dhaba after the Dantewada Massacre by naxals. These celebrations were shamefully organized without the permission of the administration and it largely saddened the student community in the campus. NSUI rose in protest against such naked display of anti-nationaJ spectacle on the behest of freedom of expression. 'The JNU Forum Against War on People' (JNUFAW) has completely washed its hands from this issue and came up with an irresponsible response about this issue. The so-called ultra left organizations including AISA, DSU, PSU have always treated our national symbols with utmost disdain and have missed no point to denigrate it. For years JNUSU, under SFI and AISA, have not celebrated Independence Day and deliberately avoided the ceremony of flag hoisting. With this kind of anti-national prejudice internalized by these organizations, JNUF A W actions do not come as a surprise. The red imperialists/ the juvenile comrades has time and again shown that their true allegiance is not towards India but rather towards non-democratic countries ruled by totalitarian tyrants like China, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. NSUI strongly condemns JNUFAW for bringing slips depicting our national emblem in a bad manner and warns them to use freedom of expression with responsibility. We are also apprehensive about the anonymous leaflets/pamphlets circulating in the campus and request administration to take staunch action against students indulged in it. NSUI demands strong action against the office bearers of JNUFA W if they are proven guilty after the Proctorial Enquiry for violating the National Emblem Act. Neyertheless, we have always stood for the freedom of expression of all the student organizations of this campus. However, we assert that owning such freedom of speech and expression shall be followed by .

responsibility and transparency. Democracy needs dissent and criticism to correct and rectify itself. This dissent and criticism should be productive and constructive in the development ofour nation. .

Ambedkar Cartoon Debate: A Perspective .

A raging controversy has erupted over a 1949 cartoon of Ambedkar and Nehru in a NCERT political science textbook, leading to an uproar in Parliament, and an announcement by the HRD Minister that the textbook would be withdrawn from circulation till the cartoon was removed. One the one hand the cartoon is being described as offensive to Dr. Ambedkar, and as part of a political conspiracy to denigrate Ambedkar. On the other hand, the makers of the textbook have resigned in protest against what they hold to be the infringement on academic freedom, and there has been an outcry against censorship. We hold that there is a need to go beyond these two polarized and black-and-white positions, and consider the issues involved, in a spirit of reasoned debate. First, is the cartoon as it appears in the textbook, really indicative of a malign attempt to denigrate Dr. Ambedkar? To arrive at an answer, let us take a closer look at the concerned chapter, as well as the process of preparation of the textbook. The concerned chapter, in which the cartoon in question appears, is titled Indian Constitution: Why and How. The chapter closely examines the democratic goals, political debates and political interests that informed the process of preparing the Constitution. It is as such very sensitive to the question of caste and communal discrimination and civil liberties. For instance, the section subtitled Limitations on the powers of Government, discusses a scenario where the authority empowered to make laws, enacted laws that imposed dress codes, curbed freedom to sing certain songs, or decreed that people who belonged to a particular group (caste or religion) would always have to serve others and would not be allowed to retain any property or that only people of a certain skin colour would be allowed to draw water from wells. It then explains how one of the functions of the constitution is to set limits on governments powers, by specifying fundamental rights, civil liberties, and other principles that no government, as a rule, can trespass. Apart from the Ambedkar-Nehru cartoon by noted cartoonist Shankar, there are several other cartoons that are featured in the chapter, each accompanied by certain thought-provoking questions, which can be answered by reading the chapters text itself. For instance, there is a telling cartoon, also by Shankar, on page 7, showing Nehru with two faces, one turned towards a concert of politicians singing Jana Gana Mana, and another turned in the direction of politicians chanting Vande Mataram. The text below comments Here is Nehru trying to balance between different visions and ideologies, and asks students to identify these contending forces and try and think about who would have prevailed in this balancing act? The cartoon that is at the centre of the debate, appears on page 18. The text beneath it reads: Cartoonists impression of the snails pace with which the Constitution was made. Making of the Constitution took almost three years. Is the cartoonist commenting on this fact? Why do you think, did the Constituent Assembly take so long to make the Constitution? If one reads the accompanying text relating to deliberations of the Constituent Assembly, the answer to the above questions that is suggested is certainly not that Ambedkar was slowing the process and Nehru trying to whip him into going faster. Instead, the text actually spells out the different contending ideas and the painstaking and time-consuming debates, in a very positive light, as an exemplary democratic process. It says, The voluminous debates in the Constituent Assembly, where each clause of the Constitution was subjected to scrutiny and debate, is a tribute to public reason at its best. These debates deserved to be memorialised as one of the most significant chapters in the history of constitution making, equal in importance to the French and American revolutions. .

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 Jo' 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 hla group haa stooped within the union council Is amply demonstrated by t~e tact that the other signatory of theuramphlet I.e., the Joint Secretary of JNUSU was not at all present ir the mformal council meeting ~ld on 11 September. The way his name has kept on appearing In successive pamphlets of t~e ~Nusu. despite his total disappearance from the scene exposes the totally unaccountable and dubloL.~ nature of funct1onmg of h1s group. . .

It is also e~remely unfortu~te that the JNUSU President resorted tn canards against the Vice President and .

the SSS Convenor In a most undlgmfled 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 Preslde.nt 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 castelsm and never against individual members belonging to any caste, the blatant lies published by the President surely expose his own desperation in raking up castelst 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 some 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 15,00t1 rupees. We are totally opposed to this II _service a t~lnst commercial~ of education ~Utd demand a review of the entire proposal to start the SIT, Including Its presen ant -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 scienc~. ka~amkand, Vedic astrology: witchcraft, black magic, voodoo worship, flying saucers, flat earth theory and hu":lan sacnf1ce In their RSS shakhas (whrch 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 his own organisation and that they have been consistently absent In all the council meetings called so far resulting In the fact that no formal council meeting has been held 80 far due to lack of quorum, since the laat JNUSU electional 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 1 Yogic Sciences on which we have sharp differences with the JNUSU President. Under the JNUSU constitution, the general body of the students Is the 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. .

OPPORTUNISM+SECTARIANISM=ABSURDITY The AISA in our campus finds itself in a peculiar position. Driven by electoral opportunism to seekFriends, .

support from right-wing formations like the NSUI and the ABVP during last year's JNUSU elections, the AISA .

has been trying hard over the past year not to offend its new-found friends. One will search the walls of our .

university in vain for an AISA poster or pamphlet that is critical of the Congress's espousal of nee-liberal '.

economic policies, the NSUI's politics of money and muscle power or the RSS-BJP-ABVPs attempts to .

pursue its fascistic Hindutva agenda with increased aggressiveness. Instead, the AISA has joined these forces and the monopoly-controlled mainstream media to launch a campaign of lies and slander directed .

, against the organized Left. .

The AISA biggest point of criticism against the Left is its support to the UPA government. What is the .

s own position on this matter? Would it prefer a government run by the fascistic RSS-BJP? All we get .

from the AISA is the carefree answer: the CPI(ML) does not have any MPs in this Parliament. We would like.

AISA'to remind the AISA that this is not because of any lack of efforts on their part. The CPI(ML) (Liberation), to which the AISA owes allegiance, has long since quietly broken with the original Naxal position of declaring the Indian Parliament as a pigsty from which all true revolutionaries must stay away. In the last general .

elections too the CPI(ML)(Liberation) had put up candidates all across the country. That none of them could .

win is the strongest possible indictment of the ultra-Left's complete alienation from the people and its inability .

to carry forward the struggle for their rights. .. .

In sharp contrast, the Left Front has seen its struggles against communalism and nee-liberalism being .

and the organized Left which had taken the lead, even before the UPA government was formed, invindicated by the increased support it has received from the people in these elections. It was the Left Front .

demanding that the people's mandate against liberalization be respected and that there be a structural break .

in the sphere of economic policy. It was the organized Left which had taken the lead in mobilizing the people .

against the anti-people Budget presented by the UPA government. While the AISA was deep in its s sleep after the Budget was presented, the SFI had taken a lead in organizing an all-India .

'.

Kumbhakarn's anti-student policies in which a large number of students from JNU had .

convention against the governmentalso participated. While fighting against these policies, the Left is at the same time conscious of its responsibility of ensuring that the fascists ofthe RSS are not able to regain their hold on state power. .

The AISA is now speaking in one voice with the anti-Communists of the mainstream media in .

denigrating the achievements made by Left Front governments in states like West Bengal and Tripura. .

However, the most conclusive refutation of these lies has come from the people of these states themselves who have voted the Left to power with huge margins in successive assembly elections. Underlying this popular support are the ceaseless struggles by the Left to defend the rights and livelihood of the toiling .

masses. Building on the successful implementation of land reforms and the democratization of power to the poor to the Panchayati Raj institutions, Left Front governments have ensured that the lot of the common people has improved in terms of decreasing poverty and increasing employment an incomes at a time when .

like Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Karnataka which have become totally subservient to the IMF and the Worldinequalities have sharpened in the rest of the country as a result of the policies of liberalization. Unlike states .

Bank, the governments in th~se states have ensured that even when the policy framework imposed by , the .

Centre and the fiscal constraints have forced them to seek funds from FDI or international institutions the .

s rights, West Bengal and.

. .

interests of the working. people are fully defended. In terms of protecting people'. .

Tripura are among the very few states in our country where the draconian POTA was never imposed. .

.

Contrary to the canards spread by the AISA the Left Front has upheld the rights of the working people to .

.

protest and has stood up against legislative and judicial attempts to curb these rights. While the organized Left continues to fight against the anti~people politics of both the BJP and the .

Congress with the goal of taking our country on an egalitarian path of development, the ultra-Left sees the .

Left as its sole enemy against which it is willing to ally with any other force however reactionary. Thus while the AISA joins the ABVP and NSUI in JNU, the PWG joins the landlords of the Trinamool Congress of West Bengal in their attempts to reverse land reforms in that state by the force of arms. The justification-that the .

social fascistic'-is reminiscent of positions taken by the ultra-Left in its early days when it .

''social imperialist' Soviet.

organized Left is 'paper tiger' while the .

used to ally with US imperialism on the grounds that it was a .

Union was the real danger! Such an extreme sectarianism which completely disregards the real enemies of '.

the people in the struggle against those who do not meet their standards of purity' has seen the completely .

isolation of the ultra-Left in our country and its inability to increase its popular support. .

We appeal to the students of this campus to expose this sectarian politics and isolate opportunistic .

forces like the AISA in the struggle against the privatization, commercialization and communalization of .

Procrustean Bed* Awaits JNU Community .

Resist it through Historical Referendum on 2()th April .

Denigration of the wisdom of common students of the campus is unacceptable but understandable. ~1isplaced attempts to undertake spineless, anonymous and naive acts in the name of common students discredit their voice. This could be and should be avoided and resisted. Motivated and vitiated news reports .ic~. wcw;-l vioiate sacred canons of joumalism and appear to be part of a design of those political forces who find JNU·s 3Lature as an institution of eminence and stature an eyesore. .

If institutions like JNU are allowed to cave in to such tactics, it takes a colossal toll and abets "institutional crimes" like the one r..oted by the Delhi High Court, which referred to "the utterly indefensible conduct" of the present regime, terming it as akin t0 "the writ of a monarch in medieval times" "who could run unquestioned" ?nd 'vho "vas ''accountable to none''. Such a regime is indeed "disquieting'', the court observed. The Referendum is an occasion to undo the pre-planned assault and to retrieve JNU's honour. A large number of students in JNU have been denied the democ...atic right to participate in student elections so far, here is an opportunity undo the same. .

Student community of JNU of all shades must ponder over the ulterior motives that are manifest in the pattern of such acts and their reporting which appears as "paid news" to give it a bad name, in ::> ,...,... ~::ulated move to kill JNU in instal.lPlents. Disruptive actions and unruliness witnessed in the campus a while ago is unbecoming of students. It is a consequence of glaring ignorance about what constitutes a considered political intervention and an inability to see through of objective of su ch machinations. Miscreants of dubious hues may be forgiven for their flippancy; after all, they have been deprived of political education by the higher judiciary. This unprecedented Referendum is the submission by the student community of its public approval/disapproval of current state of affairs. It is also an exercise in political education. .

Notwithstanding one's academic pre-occupations, if one is a student of JNU and has nev~r ever participated in its election process. it is indeed a matter of regret for a life time. What will one tell the comjng generations about the vibrant political culture of JNU. If one has participated in it, the propos('i. Referendum on 20th April becomes c:.U the more significant for the ~-u student community. The present regime is anti-student, anLi-woman, anti-worker and anti-ern·ironment. It's a Referendum to change 1he rot in the present system lhat is brutally changing the landscape of the JNU both literally and figuratively. .

Tn 1ts megalomania, a psychopathological condition that is characterized by delu sional fantasies, the present regime has pre-decided the role and thoughts of the student con1munity on seminal issues of national importance, to be apolitical and expects them to act like an anti-politics machine. The present regime it acnlytes and beneficiaries want students to be of same shape and size. It v..rants them to be put on ProcrusLean bed*. Any attempt to reduce men to one standard, one \''ay of thinking, or one way of acting, is called placing them on Procrustes' bed, and the person who makes the attempt is called Procrustes. Procrustes was a robber of Attica, who placed all who fell into his hands upon an iron bed. If they were longer than the bed, he cut off the redundant part; if shorter, he stretched them till they fitted it. You know, for sure, who is this Procrustes in the .

JNU campus. .

This Referendum pro' 1des a historical opportunity to parttcipale in an elecLion process to resist unpudent efforts to fiddle with the JNU Act and Statutes against the wishes of the JNU communily. Over the last several years, vested interests ha~,,e dc\'eloped in the campus sGme of whom have been exposed; some others would be exposed if anu only if JNU gets a new regime. Referendum is an absolute inalienable right of the people to decide and determine the path and destiny of the Cniversity, lo choose anew and change its direction. This democratic process invites you to join hands with the student community and the larger JNU community is in a moment of crisis. All sane common students have a duty to protect JNU and its glorious heritage from the civil rights robbery, which was attempted recently by participating in the 2Qth April Referendum. .

.

I guess I'm on a bit of a rant this week, but I'm running with it, and I'll offer up one more thought in this thread tomorrow, before getting back to my regular mix of inspiration posts. And stuff on 'being unique.'

I can't help but notice the difference in the way that people are positioning tomorrow. Some offer up the hope of opportunity, while others share the threat of vengeance. The inspiration of ideas, not the threat of fear. The suggestion of potential vs the rhetoric denigration. I've never quite understood this - what is the purpose of threats and fear, other than the pursuit of one's own goals and power?

No doubt the future, and many of the trends that come with it, can certainly hurt many people. It involves a lot of changes to jobs, careers, companies, industries, skills, knowledge, and more. If you don't adapt to what it represents, it might not go well. But you should be inspired to change - not be threatened by someone if you don't! The fact is, every trend is both a threat and an opportunity. Disruptors recognize the former and minimize the latter!

So why would we carry an attitude of potential failure into our daily work or business activities? Why would we adopt a mindset that aligns us to failure? Why would we look at the day ahead with fear and trepidation rather than excitement and enthusiasm? And yet, that’s all too easy to do when it comes to the future and trends – because it’s the unknown world of potential upheaval that scares us - and what happens when we are fed a story of fear, not hope?

For a long time, I’ve realized that there are many in my audience who do not like the future at all – to them, it represents disruption, change, and challenge. It’s a threat to be feared. And yet, many others view it not in this negative way, but as an opportunity to be grabbed and potential to be shaped.

the peoples resentment against the proposed nuclear power plant in Jaitapur in Maharashtra. It is most unfortunate and condemnable that a so-called left government became the champion for the Tatas, the Jindals and other corporates, virtually handing over the pro-people agenda to a right-wing reactionary force like the TMC. If the TMC today is riding high on a slogan of ma-maati-manush, the CPI(M) has no one but itself to blame. And of course, the atrocious language and completely unacceptable sexist targeting of Mamata Banerjee (in the most reprehensible gender-insensitive manner possible) during the elections was just another indicator of how the CPI(M) has completely betrayed progressive, democratic communist credentials. .

CPI(M)s Slogan of Development .

Today, journalist P. Sainath, commenting on the verdict, has said that the West Bengal governments model of development (forcibly bringing in the car factory in Singur for instance) was a flawed model. He elaborated this argument, pointing out that subsidizing industry at the cost of the peasantry and forcibly evicting people from their land and source of livelihood cannot be termed as development. For years together, and especially since 2006, various well-wishers of the left movement in India, including several intellectuals in the CPI(M) itself, have been pointing this out. However, the CPI and the CPI(M) arrogantly and shamefully chose to ignore this advice. We have not forgotten how Brinda Karat famously suggested that the protesters against the state-sponsored massacre in Nandigram should be given the dum dum dawai treatment. Similarly, Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya defended the brutal Nandigram massacre by saying that the protestors had been paid back in the same coin. It is precisely this arrogance, this sheer contempt for peoples genuine demands, that received a telling punishment in the elections. Unfortunately for the CPI-CPI(M), the people of Bengal have decided to pay back Bhattacharya and the left front government. .

CPI(M)-Still In Denial .

It is unfortunate that even after the drubbing received yesterday, the CPI(M) refuses to acknowledge its huge mistakes, its unpardonable betrayal of left values and ideals. After yesterdays results, the Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) have issued a statement on the electoral results. Also, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya and Biman Bose have also issued a statement to the people of Bengal. In none of these statements are there any mention of forcible land acquisition, corporate land grab or state repression by the left front government on the peasants and the poor of Bengal. The CPI(M) might today claim that it will always stand by the working classes and peasants in the state. .

Comrade, was the massacre of peasants in Singur and Nandigram and the rape and murder of Tapasi Malik your idea of standing by the working classes of Bengal?! Even before 2006, before Singur and Nandigram, we saw a left Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya repeatedly denigrating the trade union movement, repeatedly claiming that the working class had to change its tactics in the neo-liberal era. Comrades, the people of Bengal have conveyed loud and clear what they think of CPI-CPI(M)s model of support to the working class! If the CPI-CPI(M) were at all serious about their commitment to the working class of Bengal, their post-verdict statements should at least have reflected on Singur, and Nandigram, on the abject surrender to neo-liberal policies in Bengal, on the West Bengal SEZ Act and the like. .

By all indications, the parties of the ruling classes and the dominant media are gunning for a fierce all-out campaign against the entire Left. This campaign must be resisted and defeated. And the best way to do this is by reviving the core issues and agenda that essentially defines a genuine Left movement both within West Bengal and beyond. The verdict as well as the unfolding dynamics across the country show that the questions of democracy, progressive rural reforms and peoples struggles remains as relevant as ever in this country, and it is the historic responsibility of the genuine, radical left movement of the country to carry forward the Left movement with renewed strength and resolve. .

The outbreak of war in Europe in August 1914 did not involve the United States directly. Americans expected to remain neutral in the struggle between Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy against Germany and its allies. The desire for neutrality was particularly strong in Wisconsin, With 25% of the population of Germanic extraction. But by 1917, a majority of Americans favored the cause of Great Britain and France, and President Woodrow Wilson accepted the need to defeat Germany.

The wartime period was stressful for Wisconsin. Some Americans vilified Wisconsinites as being pro-German. Superpatriots committed outrages against those suspected of "disloyalty." German culture was denigrated.

Despite such tensions, Wisconsin citizens oversubscribed to their Liberty Loan quotas and responded enthusiastically to the call to arms. Over 122,000 entered military service, of whom 15,266 served in the Wisconsin National Guard, which became the Thirty-Second Division. By war's end on November 11, 1918, almost all of the 1,800 Wisconsinites killed in action and fully one third of the 6,300 wounded were members of the Thirty-Second or "Red Arrow" Division, whose veterans earned over 800 medals for valor.

...

Reject Attempts to Target JNUSU President ! . Reverse Price Hike .

In spite of the JNUSU's opposition to the price hikes in the dhabas and canteens, the Administration has gone.

ahead with imposing the hikes in prices. Such a hike in rates will put an undue burden on students, and must be.

reversed. .

.

In the CDC meeting dated February 7, when the proposal of price hike for certain items was moved, the JNUSU.

President opposed this move, and added that since the quality and hygiene of dhabas is in such pathetic.

.

shape, It was the hygiene and quality that needed upgrading, rather than prices. As a result, the CDC set up a.

Sub-Committee, including karamchari leaders and the JNUSU President, for an urgent review of hygiene and.

quality standards. However, the Administration went ahead with the price hikes, and the moment this came to light,.

the JNUSU President opposed it in a protest letter on the day of the next CDC Meeting on 17th March (see JNUSU.

.

notice dated March 17). In the CDC Meeting, the JNUSU President as well as JNUSU's CDC Representative (who.

however refused to sign a joint letter with the President), strongly demanded a review of the price hikes. As a result.

of this, the matter is being taken up for discussion in the CDC Meeting of 18th March. The need of the hour is to.

oppose the price hike unitedly and reverse it. SFI, however, true to its habit, is too obsessed with trying to prove.

the "dubious role of the JNUSU President", rather than targetting the dubious role of the Administration..

CDC In the Domain of Public Debate.

Friends, before AISA's tenure in the JNUSU, the role ofCDC as well as JNUSU representatives in it was.

never allowed to become a relevant agenda for the student community ofthe campus. Did any previous SF l-Ied.

JNUSUs in the past several years, ever inform the student community about CDC decisions? Did students ever get.

to know when CDC periodically approved a price hike or to whom CDC allotted dhabas or canteens or shops?.

When rents for shops were hiked by previous COGs, attended by representatives of SF l-Ied JNUSUs, were students.

.

ever informed about these increases in rents? It is because ofthe student community.

's sustained questioning.

of the CDC decisions during the anti-Nestle movement (in which AISA and the AISA-Ied JNUSU played a.

leading role) that the proceedings ofthe CDC are now a matter of lively public debate..

.

Slandering JNUSU President: SFI's Favourite Garne .

The same SFI, whose JNUSU leaders brought in the corporate Nestle secretively and silently, in connivance.

with the CDC, and defended that dangerous decision tooth and nail, is now busy mud-slinging at the JNUSU.

President, despite her categorical, repeated, written opposition to the price hikes!.

Attempts by SFI to malign the JNUSU President on this issue is a part of SFI.

.

's old habit of baseless mud-.

slinging and sectarian one-upmanship. We would like to point out that in this semester, the SFI has made it a habit.

to denigrate and tarnish the role of the JNUSU President. The SFI, in leaflet after leaflet this semester, accused the.

.

AI SA-led JNUSU of "doing nothing" to pursue the issues of students' elected representation in academic bodies,.

book bank facilities, enhancement of MCM scholarship, etc... However, the Book Bank facilities did become.

.

operational, and the Academic Counci l actually took a decision in favour of students' elected representaion in.

academic bodies as well as extension ofMCM to MPhil/Mtech students, and approved newacademic programmes.

in North East Studies and Studies in Discrimination and Exclusion. Ifthese demands had not been met by the AC,.

SFI would have blamed iton the AISA-Ied JNUSU. Nowthatthe demaf'\Ps have been achieved, the SFI promptly.

claimed these to be achievements oftheir previous Union alone II! We would like to ask the SFI: HOW COME.

ALL THEACHIEVEMENTSAREALWAYSYOURS,ANDALLABUSESAREALWAYS FORAISA ?!.

In spite ofsystematically pursuing the students' demands, the JNUSU President, who is the only office.

bearerfrom AISA in the JNUSU, is the constant target forvilification and non-cooperation by SFI. Last year,.

when she was in the capacity of GS in the JNUSU, the SFI did its utmost to isolate her role, and claim that AISA.

had no share in all the agitations or achievements-to the extent that she was prevented even from signing a.

leaflet on a common agenda like Women's Day! We advise the SFI to shed its childish sectarianism and stop.

disrupting common issues of struggle. .

Students' Demands Must Be Honoured .

The CDC must reverse the price hikes at dhabas and canteens, and ensure the standards of quality and.

hygiene as well. Further, the CDC must honourthe UGBM mandate and set up a 24x7 dhaba without further.

delay as a replacement for the Nestle Outlet. Given that exams are approaching, the absence of a 24x7 dhaba is.

proving to be a serious inconvenience, especially for the students residing in nearby hostels in that area..

The National Accreditation Regulatory Authority for Higher Educational Institutions Bill 2010: This Bill proposes to make accreditation compulsory. It may be that fund cuts can follow in case an institution fails to achieve sufficient credits. However, the central government will have the power to offer exemptions. Private or otherwise influential players can therefore secure such exemption, which is an open invitation to graft and corruption. .

Higher education is being privatised in the name of ridding it of problems like corruption and capitation fees and ensuring higher standards. However, the telecom scam is a reminder that privatisation and greed for profit go hand-in-hand with corruption. The US-backed agenda for Indias higher education will not only further exclude the poor and underprivileged, it will increase the scale of chaos and corruption in education manifold. .

An Agenda for Democratising the Campus, Defending and Expanding Our Rights .

· Fighting adverse service conditions and bureaucratisation .

In line with neoliberal agenda to corporatise higher education, the DU Administration is hell bent on policing and denigrating the teaching community by attempting to impose a corporate culture with biometric smart cards and compulsory attendance registers. .

The pretext of 6th pay commission has been used to curtail hard-earned promotional opportunities through imposition of arbitrary bureaucratic service conditions and illogical point systems that benefits neither teaching nor research. .

These moves must be strongly resisted to defend the autonomy and dignity of the entire academic space. .

· Rights of new and ad-hoc teachers must be defended .

The AGPs at the initial stages must be upgraded. It is a shame that DU, which employs adhoc teachers on such a large scale to bear a major burden of the teaching load, refuses to extend them the due rights and benefits. The services of adhoc teachers must be duly recognised towards promotion and maternity leave benefits be extended to ad-hoc teachers. .

Discrimination against librarians, other academic staff and system programmers must end and the long-standing demand of parity with the teaching community must be ensured. .

The Government must be pressurised to allow around 400 teachers left under CPF scheme to opt for GPF scheme as their post retirement benefit stands seriously compromised. Also the teachers under NPS (after 2004) must be ensured a steady pension. .

· Strict Implementation of Reservation in admissions and appointments .

Roster system for SC/ST, OBC and PH reservations in teaching posts must be transparently and strictly adhered to. .

Clear guidelines for fulfilment of SC/ST, OBC and PH reservations in student admissions, as per constitutional provisions must be laid down, and there must be an end to the arbitrary procedures used to undermine 27% OBC reservations over the past 3 years. .

· Rights and Facilities for the Differently-Abled .

All necessary infrastructural facilities must be created for differently-abled teachers, students and staff both in terms of computers, software packages, reading materials, reading assistance as well as assistance for evaluation of scripts by teachers, ramps and sound indicators on the campus.

judiciary, the rapists crime was not that he brutally assaulted his victims body and dignity; but merely that he did so to a woman who did not legally belong to him! The nurse, in her reply to her rapists offer to marry her, asked how she could accept as her husband, the man who has handicapped my very sense of being, more than my physical self and termed the marriage offer as a second rape, an attempt to further humiliate, insult and denigrate my dignity. Her spirit and clarity should shame the judiciary; it highlights the fact that our judiciary habitually views rape as a crime against patriarchal property, rather than as an assault on womens sense of being. This case was also a stark reminder of the status of women within the marriage institution itself. A daughter is considered a fathers property; marriage is a transfer of this property to the husband. A woman has no right to deny her husband the full use of her body, which is his rightful property (recall that rape within marriage is yet to be recognised as a crime by our laws). Rape damages the fathers property; so the rapist must either pay compensation, or accept the soiled goods himself. It is this ideology that underwrites our judiciarys attitude towards rape. This habit of associating rape with violation of honour betrays the unsaid notion that those women who lack honour (read chastity), cannot by definition be raped: thus the infamous Supreme Court judgement in the 1980s Mathura rape case, which acquitted policemen of custodial rape on grounds that the victim was a loose woman, shares the same anti-woman ideology as the Shiv Sena. Bravo for the young nurse who defied judicial pressure to marry her rapist. Bravo for the large number of women who spontaneously turned up in the Delhi courtroom to offer solidarity to the nurse, to assure her that she needed no redemptive stamp of legitimacy from her rapist. Bravo too for the women of Nagpur who expressed their collective outrage by lynching the rapist in the courtroom. In a situation where Courts and the police heap fresh humiliations on victims of rape, it is such women whose courage redeems and asserts womens sense of self and dignity. .
