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. Also they .

PRESS RELEASE .

.

Date: 14-01-05 .

We take strong exception to the fact that a section of the press and certain student organizations in campus are trying to attribute the individual opinion expressed by the JNUSU President regarding the President of India Dr A.P.J.Abdul Kalam to the entire JNUSU Council. The undersigned office-bearers of the JNUSU hold the President of India, who is also the Visitor of our university, in very high esteem. We do not endorse any opinion which denigrates his supreme Constitutional ij position, whatever be our differences with him. We would also like to state ~· J that a quote attributed to the Vice-President of the Students' Union in a certain English language newspaper was a complete distortion of her .

statement. .

The programme was organized by the JNU Administration and the modalities of the Programme were not discussed with us. The undersigned office-bearers were not formally consulted by the JNU Administration at any stage for the presentation of the bouquet to the President of India. The JNUSU President informed the undersigned office-bearers about her decision to not give the bouquet after she had already communicated it to the Vice-Chancellor. Therefore the question of taking a collective position by the JNUSU ofiice-bearers on this issue do not arise. .

The representatives of the Students' Union of different Schools raised certain issues in the form of a letter to the Visitor of our University. In that appeal, the JNUSU urged upon the Visitor of the University to· address the genuine concerns of the student community pertair.ting to the .

problem of financial constraints faced by the students. .

Along with this the problem of inadequate research materials were also raised demanding more online journals and more computers with Internet facilities for the students and other issues. .

Besides these, there was no other position that the JNUSU office-bearers or other members of the Council decided collectively. .

Friends, It is extremely shameful and shocking to see the extent to which AISA has tried to heap .

slander and malice on SFI to create a smokescreen over the absence and negligence of the AISA affiliated JNUSU President in the campaign for reservations that has happened over the past few days. The following should help in clearing the air and expose AISA's desperate .

All India Students Association (AISA) 16. 4.05 .-....

Unite to Resist Price Hike and Ensure Quality and Hygiene at Dhabas and Canteens !Demand 24x7 Dhaba Without Delay ! 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 goneahead with imposing the hikes in prices. Such a hike in rates will put an undue burden on students. and must bereversed. In the CDC meeting dated February 7, when the proposal of price hike for certain items was moved. the J NUSUPresident opposed this move, and added that since the quality and hygiene of dhabas is in such patheticshape, it was the hygiene and quality that needed upgrading, rather than prices. As a result. the CDC set up aSub-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 171n March (see JNUSUnotice dated March 17). In the CDC Meeting, the JNUSU President as well as JNUSU's CDC Representative (whohowever refused to sign a joint letter with the President), strongly demanded a review of the price hikes. As a resultof this, the matter is being taken up for discussion in the CDC Meeting of 18lh March. The need of the hour is tooppose the price hike unitedly and reverse it. SF I, however, true to its habit, is too obsessed with trying to provethe "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 of CDC as well as JNUSU representatives in it wasneverallowed to become a relevant agenda forthe student community ofthe campus. Did any previous SFl-IedJNUSUs in the past several years, ever inform the student community about CDC decisions? Did students ever getto 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 CDCs, attended by representatives of SF l-Ied JNUSUs, were studentsever informed about these increases in rents? It is because ofthe student community's sustained questioningof the CDC decisions during the anti-Nestle movement (in which AISA and the AISA-Ied JNUSU played aleading role) that the proceedings ofthe CDC are now a matter oflively 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 hercategorical, 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.

AISA-Ied 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 Council actually took a decision in favour of students' elected representaion in.

academic bodies as well as extension of MCM to MPhii/Mtech students, and approved newacademic programmes.

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

SFI would have blamed it on the AISA-Ied JNUSU. Nowthat the demands have been achieved, the SFI promptly.

claimed these to be achievements of their previous Union alone!!! We would like to ask the SF I: HOW COME.

ALL THE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE ALWAYS YOURS, AND ALL ABUSES ARE ALWAYS FOR AISA ?!.

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

bearer from AISA in the JNUSU, is the constanttarget for vilification and non-cooperation by SF I. 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..

overrating of potential of the rich peasantry as allies of the working class in democratic revolution with dubbing them as co-sharers in state power and targets of democratic revolution! .

This confusion is also visible regarding their assessment of the role of the middle peasant. Their Agrarian Resolution describes them as vacillating allies. Their understanding is that the middle peasant will vacillate between the rich peasants and kulaks on one side and the agricultural labourers and small peasants on the other. The same resolution has however, also stated that, .... majority of the poor and middle peasants are trapped in subsistence or near subsistence farming.... The broad mass of poor and middle peasantry, apart from groaning under the yoke of semi feudal remnants, are at the receiving end of the expanding forces of capitalism, viz, these new landlords and kulaks and are oppressed by these classes. The question legitimately arises that why would the middle peasant ground down in such poverty and exploitation, much like the small peasants, vacillate between the agricultural workers and small peasants on one side and the rich peasants on the other? The M-L Liberations assessment in fact amounts to jumbling together of the middle peasants role in Socialist Revolution with that in People's Democratic Revolution. The experience of different revolutions shows that middle peasants are reliable allies of the working class in the stage of democratic revolution. It is in the stage of socialist revolution that they vacillate between the chief target of revolution in the countryside i.e. rich peasants on one side and the rural proletariat and small peasants on the other. .

As regards role in democratic revolution of classes other than the working class and peasantry, the General Programme of the CPI (M-L) Liberation has the following prescription to offer: Small and medium capitalists and bourgeois intellectuals are vacillating and unstable allies of the democratic revolution. This formulation does not reveal any dynamic understanding of the role of the non-big bourgeoisie vis-à-vis both monopoly and imperialism. The changes engendered by neo-liberal policies in these sections of the capitalist class find no mention. .

There is no assessment at all about the role of the urban and rural middle classes. Who they are, what impact liberalisation has had on them, whether differentiation among them has grown due to neo-liberal policies, what role their different strata will play in democratic revolution all these are matters of no concern to the M-L Liberation. Mention is made only of middle class intellectuals who are mechanically dubbed as vacillating and unstable allies of the revolution. This undermines the potential of their progressive sections and does violence to the Leninist understanding of the role of intellectuals in backward, developing societies. .

Method of Transition .

Different tactics including participation in elections, extra-parliamentary struggle, utilisation of possibilities of forming provincial governments etc. are envisaged in the process of achieving democratic revolution by the ML-Liberation. It concedes the possibility of peaceful transition in exceptional circumstances but deems this to be unlikely. The abandonment of the line of individual annihilation propagated by old time Naxalism and attempts at involving the masses rather than armed squads of committed revolutionaries are positive. .

.

Tactical Line .

Blind Animosity Towards C.P.I. (M) .

.

The hallmark of the CPI (M-L) Liberations tactical line is its overt anti-CPI (M) thrust. They continuously call CPI .

(M) a social democratic party. After doing this they invoke the long abandoned thesis of the 6th Congress of the Communist International that dubs social democrats as social fascists to somehow provide theoretical justification for their blind animosity towards the CPI (M). Their cadres are taught that it is not possible for their party and movement to advance unless they mount a continuous attack on the CPI (M) and mass organisations led by it. This approach finds reflection in joint movements and activities. Several examples of this were there right through the 1990s when the M-L Liberation led mass organisations tried to misuse platforms like NPMO to settle scores with CPI (M). .

They consider the West Bengal Left Front Government as an enemy and place it on the same footing as state governments led by bourgeois parties. Slander against the LF Government is a major plank of their politics. They make every effort to denigrate the historic land reforms achieved through long and arduous struggles of the Bengal peasantry led by the All India Kisan Sabha, the sacrifices of countless martyrs and the pro-kisan policies of the LF Government. Thus, their 7th Congress Pol-Org Report states that, Even in a state like West Bengal, the total area of redistributed ceiling-surplus land amounts to only 8% of the total cultivable land in the state. The fact that ceiling surplus land distributed in West Bengal amounts to almost 20% of the total such land distributed in the country has no meaning for them! Their Policy Resolution on Agrarian Question (2001) is marked by gross deceit on the issue of tenancy. Thus they state that, "Though tenancy has been banned in many states (it is legal in West Bengal), it is widely prevalent on the sly." The reference to Bengal is motivated to somehow show that the Left Front Govt. is even more anti-tenant than other state governments. They know that the Bargadari Act in West Bengal, under which over 15 lakh tenants have been registered, provides tenants such guarantees against eviction by landlords as exist nowhere else in the country. Yet they indulge in this slander. The same resolution also states that, .

q . UNITE AGAINST THE POLITICS OF HATRED! . 21 .08.2002 FriendS: .

The Election Commission deserves the highest praise from all the secular and democratic people of our country for bringing to an halt, at least for the time being, the Sangh Giroh's dangerous designs in Gujarat. The Gujarat carnage -involving violence against the minority community on a scale not seen since the days of Partition -took place with the active connivance and support of the state administration under the leadership of Chief Minister Narendra Modi. After having presided over the state-sponsored genocide, the BJP is now hoping to convert it into electoral gains through early polls. .

What the people of Gujarat think of the Narendra Modi government had been quite clear after the panchayat polls and assembly by-elections in which the BJP had been thoroughly routed. However given the present situation in the state -hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes and an atmosphere of fear and intimidation still being prevalent with the perpetrators of the riots going unpunished-a free and fair elections would hardly have been possible. And that was what the BJP was banking on. .

Frustrated in their attempt, the RSS-BJP is now trying to denigrate the institution of the EC, with the BJP even making official statements attributing a political bias to it. Now, the government has decided to make a Presidential reference to the Supreme Court. This new found respect for the law comes from a political formation which was openly hurling defiance at the apex court on the Ayodhya issue a few months back and it is just another attempt to obfuscate the issue. .

While the upright stand taken against the Sangh Giroh's fascistic designs by institutions like the NHRC and the EC gives cause for optimism, the struggle for democracy and secularism in our country cannot be won without popular mobilizations. As a part of this effort the JNUSU is organizing a public meeting tomorrow on the Gujarat elections. We would like to invite all members of the student community to this meeting. .

Participate in Large Numbers in Tonight's Ut:;BM! 6. 9.10 .

Support the Efforts at Expediting the JNUSU Election ProcE!SS and the Struggle for Defending the JNUSU Constitution Against the Lyngdoh Recotnmencfations! .

Resist All Negative Campaigns-Unite to Demand Immediate Holding of .

AC/BoS/GSCASH Elections! .

Ever since the Supreme Court stayed the JNUSU elections in 2008, tl1e stuaent community has been engaged in protracted legal and political battle to safeguard the JNUSU constitution against the Lyngdoh Comm1ttee recommendations. And in the.Past few years, we have seen how the JNU administr3tion l1as eagerly made full use of the lack of elected student representation, by using every decision-making fora in J NU to push through its anti-student pollc1es At tonight's UGBM, we appeal to the student community to participate in large numbers and vote decisively for expediting JNUSU election, strengthening the ongoing struggle to dEtfend the JNUSU constitution, and immediate holding of AC/BoS/GSCASH elections. .

, In the absence of student representation, 1t has become the standard practice of the JNtJ administration to promote del1berate confusions and mislead JNU's statutory bodies on crucial issues. The most ~Jiaring example of this is of course the shameful manner in which the JNU administration tried its level best to mi ;inform and manipulate the Academic Council on the issue of OBC reservations for students and SC/ST reservc1tions in faculty posts. The functioning of c;scASH too has been hampered in the absence of elected student representation. It is therefore high time that we reclaim the right of student representation in the AC/BoS/GSCASH and transform them into sites of struggle. .

In the past few days. we have seen the SFI launch a completely baseless tirade aga1nst AI SA's proposal of immediate AC/BoS/GSCASH electrons. We have been facing the brunt of a lack of elected student representation; the issue of JNUSU elections is nght now tied to the result of negotiations with the Solicitor General and to the whims and fanc1es of the state .

Let us ask: .

.

At this JUncture, when we DO have a chance of sending 39 elected representat1vE·s to the AC/BoS/GSCASH, why is the SFI absurdly suggesting that we bind the AC/BoS/GSCASH ek~cticms TOO by the VERY SAME STRINGS that unfortunately tie the JNUSU elections? .

.

.

Why should JNU students willingly and voluntarily forgo and delay student representation in JNU's highest decision-making body when NO roadblocks exist? Whose pur~1ose il; served by saying that we should not conduct the AC/BoS/GSCASH elections unlll we can also resolve the isSIJe of JNUSU elect1ons? .

.

.

What is the agenda behind SFI's vicious campaign that denigrates student representation in statutory bodies, including the Academic Council which is the highest decision-making body ira JNU? Aren't such attempts on the part of any student organisation to devalue the importance of "student representation in AC/BoS". of benefit ONLY to the administration which eagerly awaits any oppgrturtity to scuttle all democratic student rights? .

.

.

Who does it benefit if students forego/delay their right to ele<:t student representatives to AC/BoS/GSCASH? Is it not the Administration -who gets a free hand to use these bodies to pass a range of anti-student measures, keeping students in the dark. deliberately excluding sludents' democratic op1nion, and mrsleading members of these decision-making bod1es? .

.

.

Why this unnecessary and illogical 'competition and contradiction' between JNUSU and AC/BoS/GSCASH? If student representatron to AC/BoS is really as ineffective and worthless as SFI claims, if student representation in AC/BoS really undermines JNUSU, why did SFI participat13 in the ,INUSU-Ied struggle to achieve this representatron in 2005?! .

.

.

Isn't opposition to student representation in JNU's statutory bodies, therefore, nothing but another instance of SFI's habitual blind anti-AISAism, with little concern for logic or students' interest? .

.

.

AISA appeals to the student community to stand 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. .

We also appeal to the student community to reJect the negative campaign against AC/EioS/GSCASH elections and give a massive mandate for holding AC/BoS/GSCASH elections immediately in tonight's UGBM. .

From the description accompanying this artwork at the Victoria and Albert Museum: "Loosely inspired by Ovid, this group derives from Rodin's great unfinished project, the Gates of Hell, and also from his illustrations for a volume of poems by Baudelaire. Rodin gave this plaster to the poet W.E. Henley, who championed his work in Britain. Critics denigrated Rodin's more erotic sculptures, calling them 'fantasies', but sculptors found them exciting and liberating."

We strongly condemn such referendum, which only represents a microscopic view that belongs to left lobby. JNU has around 8051 students registered on .

the electoral list, whereas the number of participant in such so-called .

referendums do·es not exceed a negligible ·size. Thus, such referendum does not represent the whole of JNU community. .

Further, unlike the JNUSU elections, which is conducted by an independent .

Election Commission, such so-called referendums are a tool in the hands of Leftists. Neither their methodology nor results can be relied upon! .

While we strongly support fairness and justice in the case of sexual harassment, we condemn the denigration and vilification of the accused, which goes agS~inst the principle of natural justice that deems everyone innocent until p-roven guilty, while the JNUSU and other Left bodies of JNU deem otherwise. .

We urge the student's community not to fall in the trap of propagandists, who are using the institution of GSCASH for scoring votes in the upcoming election. We also urge the GSCASH to ensure a free and fair trial and submit.

ABVP Goons Are Out On A Rampage Again !.

.

A gang of ABVP goons have been routinely indulging in communal sloganeering un-.

der the pretext of `enjoying' cricket match, and in hurling abusive words and communal.

taunts targeted at minorities..

.

A section of the hostel administration has always chosen to overlook and protect the.

culprits. Recently, one of the goons, Sudhanshu, had been barging into the morning.

`Sehri' and consuming the counted food items meant for the fasting Muslim students ob-.

serving Roza. When he was requested to refrain from doing so, he retaliated yesterdat.

evening by first brutally thrashing a senior Phd student, Iqbal Zia and then leaving him.

latched in his room..

.

Not content with this, Sudhanshu threatened to beat up Iqbal once again, and that.

too in the presence of the JNU security officer, wardens and JNUSU General Secretary..

Under massive student pressure, the hostel administration was forced to declare Sud-.

hanshu out-of-bounds of the hostel last evening itself. In spite of this order, Sudhanshu.

made a reappearance at 9 pm, forced himself into the hostel. The entire act of his as-.

sault and subsequent threats was enacted under the encouragement of ABVP leaders.

and activists..

.

It is high time that the systematic communal and criminal activities of ABVP in Lohit.

Hostel as well as the indulgence extended to them by a section of the hostel adminis-.

tration be robustly resisted. Such acts on the part of ABVP not only meant to vitiate the.

campus atmosphere but are also targeted at abusing and insulting the minority students.

in JNU..

.

Lumpenism of ABVP-JPF-YFE meant to denigrate and abuse sections of the student.

community have also been soft peddled by the JNU administration. One has not for-.

gotten how the JNU administration never punished the several lumpen activities of JPF.

in the Paschimabad area, and also the open violence indulged in by ABVP during the.

meeting addressed by SAR Geelani..

.

We call upon the JNU students to unite and resolutely ensure that Sudhanshu.

is suspended immediately and the strictest punishment be meted out to the cul-.

prit and communal lumpenism inside Lohit Hostel be stopped..

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. .

We strongly condemn the attack by a mob on the Pune office of Suhas Palshikar, one of the authors of the textbook. Political leaders should stop orchestrating such violence, that smack of the right-wing assaults on dissenting voices. Debate on educational content is welcome, but cannot be dealt with through physical attacks. There is an urgent need to view the matter at hand in the light of reasoned debate. The note below is our stand on, and contribution to, this debate. .

On the one hand presence of the 1949 cartoon by noted cartoonist Shankar in the NCERT textbook, 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 .

The JNU student community has played a crucial role in the struggle for the restoration of the JNUSU Elections and the JNUSU Constitution.

Given the present situation and the backdrop where no elected JNUSU has existed for the last three years, the SFI believes that the best option is to conduct the JNUSU Elections as per the new interim arrangement. Any other option would amount to further delaying JNUSU Elections or not havinq it at all. .

Any concrete step towards conducting the JNUSU Elections would require an endorsement of the guidelines laid down by the Court from a UGBM. The SFI appeals to the student community to support the conduct of the J NUSU Elections as per the Supreme Court's order in the UGBM, which would be held on 9.01.2012. The newly elected JNUSU and all future unions should be mandated by the UGBM to carry forward the struggle for full restoration of the JNUSU Constitution and utilize every possible .

opportunity for the same. .

It is unfortunate that the DSU has once again started a malicious campaign against the conduct of JNUSU Elections. Rather than raving and ranting against the position of SFI and others in favour of conducting the JNUSU Elections now, DSU and its allies must clarify what concrete alternative exists before the student community today? Their vacuous rhetoric cannot conceal the real intent behind their opposition, which is to postpone the conduct of JNUSU 'selections forever and have a JNUSU-Iess student movement in JNU. That may suit DSUanarchist and adventurist politics but will be inimical to the interests of the broader student community. Narrow minded sectarianism of the DSU is preventing it from placing the larger interests of the students above its partisan political interests. This is hardly surprising from an outfit which supports and glorifies the Indian Maoists, who routinely resort to mindless .

assassinations and violence and denigrate democracy. .

DSU has also displayed remarkable hypocrisy during the past two years, having first opposed the dialogue with the Amicus-Curiae, ther. shamelessly participating in the ,egotiations and subsequently equating the Joint Struggle Committee with the pro-Lyngdoh YFE at a time when the JSC was trying hard to pressurize the JNU administration for taking a position in favour or granting the exemptions suggested by the Amicus in his petition.

through the reading-lists prescribed by you all. When it comes to dissenting the man who is held accountable for all.

this, and in the only forum we were going to get, you expected us to bury our heads in the sand like that fabled ostrich..

.

In these difficult times when sovereignty of nations is under tremendous attack by the forces like Bush & Blair, the first.

thing a repressive regime tries to quash is the Right to Protest. An extension of this is found in the appeal, which we.

witnessed. This not only created an undemocratic precedent but also vitiated the atmosphere of protests that followed. A.

section of the student community were silenced through this directive..

.

The Right to Protest as the lynchpin of any democratic structure is something that has come about through a hard earned.

battle and at a great cost. This campus has had a glorious heritage of protesting against tyrants in the positions of power..

This is the same JNU which stood arm in arm against a totalitarian Indira Gandhi and she was not allowed to enter this.

campus even four years after her attempts to eclipse Indian democracy. We feel a sense of pride being taught by the stu-.

dents of that generation. Why then were we being prevented through these kinds of anticipatory appeals from protesting.

against the PM in an occasion, which was presented to us as a rare opportunity for lodging a peaceful and yet strong.

dissent against his policies? This, we think is even more pertinent as these policies are still being pursued by this very PM..

.

But now, there is a gnawing confusion in us these days confronted with this double-speak. This is a very grave issue for.

us. We appeal to all the teachers to please come forward with a reply and guide us through these testing time..

.

This `appeal' notwithstanding, there were peaceful protests, but the whole act was vandalised by.

some lumpens. We feel this appeal, in effect, gave these lumpens of NSUI ABVP/JPF the legitimacy to.

disrupt and sabotage the whole agenda. Moreover, the fact that certain teachers denigrated and ridiculed.

the act of showing black flags to the PM in the public meeting which followed (15.11.05), and that a few.

even went onto justify the violence perpetuated on the peaceful protesters, forces us to ask these questions.

from you all. In this meeting, one teacher took forward the tone of chastising to new levels and cautioned.

the students with consequences since the teachers are the ones we have to fall back upon for grades, term.

papers etc. In these times, we feel perplexed and wonder if our names should go in this pamphlet, but then.

we will!.

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.

On Deprivation Points for Backward Minorities .

The University has agreed to form a committee to ascertain the legal/social position regarding the issue of provision of deprivation points to religious minorities. In the coming days, the JNUSU will have to carry forward the struggle to integrate the Ranganath Mishra Commission recommendations in the Admission Policy of the University. The Ranganath Mishra Commission, to recall, had observed that positive discrimination on the ground of caste or religion coupled with other grounds such as social and educational backwardness is constitutionally permissible and, therefore, under a given circumstance it may be possible to treat a caste or religious group as a class. The Commission had argued that Since the minorities especially the Muslims are very much underrepresented, and sometimes wholly unrepresented, in government employment, we recommend that they should be regarded as backward in this respect within the meaning of that term as used in Article 16 (4) of the Constitution. The student community will also have to remain vigilant against formulations such as if society is divided on the basis of religion, we will provide reservation on the basis of religion (put forward by the President of SFI-JNU), which would become fodder to majoritarian communal forces, which see the demand for deprivation points as minority appeasement (ABVP pamphlet dated 29.10.2012). .

.

The Balance of Political Forces since 2007 Remains Unchanged .

The developments since 2007 in the campus (which included, but were not confined to, the clampdown on student union elections) have meant a shift in the balance of political forces in favour of the administration, exemplified by the sheer volume of anti-student moves on its part during the last five years. The course and outcome of the agitation shows that this objective situation, whereby the hand of the administration has been strengthened at the cost of the students movement, has not been reversed. The JNUSU leadership, through speeches and pamphlets, has been trying to pacify the students by talking about in principle acceptance from the administration, seeing the outcome of the agitation as a step forward, substantial advance etc, instead of engaging in a concrete review of the agitation. .

.

Sectarianism within JNUSU .

The course of the agitation has also brought out in the open the sectarian nature of the differences of opinion between the organisations leading the JNUSU. Instead of sincere attempts to preserve the struggling unity of the JNUSU, what came out in the open was a fight between the leading organisations regarding competing demands and priorities, with the student community remaining largely in the dark. Such differences of opinion among the organisations that lead the union should be settled in the JNUSU council or at the UGBM rather than allowing them to affect the much-required unity in the course of the agitation. The office-bearers of the JNUSU should also be conscious of the message that is conveyed by quarrelling among themselves in public in the midst of an important agitation. Such acts that denigrate the highest platform of the JNU students would serve only to strengthen the hands of the administration. .

SFI congratulates the student community of JNU for their participation in the agitation fought under the leadership of the JNUSU, and pledges to stand by the JNUSU in carrying our struggle forward to its logical conclusion. .

IMPLEMENT 27% OBC RESERVATION & 54% SEAT INCREASE FROM 2007-08!! .

DOWN WITH YFE FOR OPPOSING THE LAW OF THE LAND!! .

ISOLATE CASTEIST YFEH .

.

Friends, Date: 13..01-07 .

The OBC Reservation Bill has been passed by the Parliament, which is the highest sovereign body of the people of the country. However, a section of elites of the.country under the garb of Youth For (ln)Equality are extremely disgusted by the smooth pas~age of the OBC Reservation Bill in the Parliament. In a most outrageous and shameless manner, they have used the platform of JNUSU to attack the JNUSU President and the entire policy of OBC reservation . The very fact that aBC-reservation bill has been smoothly and unanimously passed by both houses of Parliament reflects the democratic consensus in the country on the principle of social justice enshrined .

in the constitution of India. The rare . unanimity, acroaa political lines, on this issue has completely Isolated the formation called Youth For (ln)Equallty. This Isolation and political irrelevance of the Youth For (ln)Equality has completely frustrated them. In their frustration, the YFE has completely lost all pretensions of believing in democratic norms and institutions .

in the country. .

The Constitution of India is one of the most revered constitutions in the world because of its rich and steadfast commitment to the principles of Equality, Fraternity, Democracy, Secularism and Social Justice. All these ideals have been enshrined in the constitution and promoted by the .

Parliamentary democracy in our country, which has given voices to the voiceless, albeit to a limited extent. The recent passing of the OBC Reservation Bill in Parliament, is yet another exposition where the marginalized sections of the population have asserted their rights through the Parliament. .

To oppose OBC reservation after the passage of the Bill Is tantamount to oppose the law of the land. The fact that the YFE Is still campaigning against this policy, even after the enactment of the Bill proves their total disregard for democracy and the Parliament of our country. Through their opposition to the OBC reservation Act, they are questioning the collective will of ·the people of India. We warn them against any attempt to denigrate the Parliament and other democratic institutions in our country. It is shameful that the YFE is using the JNUSU latform for .

servin its casteist ends that too launch a vicious attack on the Parliament.illll .

While the YFE is hell bent upon scuttling the process of implementing 27% OBC reservation and 54% seat increase in the campus, it is extremely unfortunate, that the JNU Administration has not till date announced its policies in this regard. Neither has the Administration initiated any broader dialogue within the University community on this issue. This dilly-dally approach on the part of the Administration is only providing space and legitimacy for the YFE's campaign. We demand that the Administration must immediately announce its plans in this regard and take all necessary steps to ensure 27% OBC reservation and 54% seat increase from the next academic session. .

In these circumstances, it is highly commendable that the JNUSU President and Joint Secretary has initiated the process of discussion on this issue within the student community by callingfor an Open Meeting on this issue. We warn the YFE against any malicious campaign against the JNUSU office-bearers who are only trying to uphold the law of the land in our university. We appeal to the student community to rally behind the JNUSU In future struggles aimed at ensuring that 27% OBC reservation and 54% seat Increase is Implemented in our campus. We also appeal to the students to participate In large numbers In tomorrow's Open Meeting at 6:00pm, to deliberate on this Issue. .

It is unfortunate that the DSU has once again started a malicious campaign ·against the conduct of JNUSU .

Elections. Rather than raving and ranting against the position of SFI and others in favour of conducting the .

JNUSU Elections now, DSU and its allies must clarify what concrete alternative exists before the student .

community today? Their vacuous rhetoric cannot conceal the real intent behind their opposition, which is to .

postpone the conduct of JNUSU elections forever and have aJNUSU-Iess student movement in JNU. That may .

suit DSU1S anarchist and adventurist politics but will be inimical to the interests of the broader student .

community. Narrow minded sectarianism of the OSU is preventing it from placing the larger interests of the .

the Indian Maoists, who routinely resort to mindless assassinations and violence and denigrate democracy. .

These divisive and nonsensical positions adopted by the DSU have dovetailed with that of the YFE, which has .

two sides of the same coin; both are saboteurs as far as the conduct of JNUSU elections is concerned. .

This resolve for restoration of the JNUSU Elections as per the JNUSU Constitution must be preserved .

this struggle to its logical culmination. Today, there is a need for forging a broad consensus in favour of .

RSS-VHPs Communal Hate Mongerers Try to Barge into JNU Indulge in Open Hate Mongering and Incitement at JNUs North Gate!! .

AISA condemns in the strongest possible manner the RSS-VHPs attempts to spread communal frenzy in JNU. Today, under the pretext of a protest in the context of the ongoing debate in JNU on eating beef and pork, several VHP-RSS activists assembled at the North Gate of JNU at around 11 am and held a session of provocative hate-speeches for several hours, disrupting the traffic. During the long hate-speech session, several speakers indulged in the most condemnable hate speech. Speaker after speaker made highly communal and inflammatory speeches loaded with the choices of abuses against religious minorities. Open threats of the worst violence against minorities were repeatedly made, and highly derogatory and abusive language was used. Not just this, extremely communal, dangerous and divisive literature was openly distributed during the meeting. This literature was full of insults against Christianity and other religions. For instance, a booklet published by the Dharm Rakshak Shri Dara Sena titled Yeshu Mein Shaitan Hai was distributed. As the name itself suggests, the booklet is aimed at propagating falsehoods and an anti-minority frenzy, by deliberately insulting and denigrating religious minorities. .

It is extremely shameful that all this happened in full public view, right in front of our universitys gate. Given the provocative nature of the protest, security forces of the North Gate had a hard time controlling the situation. This is not the first time communal right-wing forces have indulged in such tactics. Time and again we have seen them using any excuse to perpetrate violence against religious minorities. Campaigns against alleged illegal immigrants, against forced conversions, against inter-religion marriages are staple diet for such forces. Inside JNU, the ABVP specialises in such communal hate mongering. Throughout the recently conducted JNUSU election process, we saw the right-wing forces at work routinely engaging in hooliganism against women and minority students. Even on the evening of the Presidential Debate, a booklet ostensibly opposing beef eating, but actually targeting minorities was distributed in JNU hostels. It is now absolutely clear that communal forces affiliated to the Sangh Parivar including elements within the campus are together using the debate on Beef and Pork to vitiate the atmosphere in JNU. This is nothing but an organised hate campaign with a divisive political agenda. Communal fascist forces routinely use culture and religion as excuses to spread division, violence and hate in society. They use the excuse of Valentines day to indulge in violence and moral policing, they try to impose dress codes, they molest women in pubs. Such dangerous campaigns cannot be tolerated, and have to be robustly resisted. Moreover, such divisive and communal campaigns have to be dealt with an iron hand by the authorities. Given the well established linkages of elements in the campus with RSS-VHP and other Sangh Parivar forces, who are working to vitiate the atmosphere in JNU, we demand that the JNU administration take up this issue in all seriousness with the Delhi Police and other concerned authorities, so that such blatantly communal, divisive and unconstitutional acts are not allowed. .

The JNU administration should take responsibly of ensuring punishment to those who organised todays protest at the JNU North Gate. .

22 I 04 I 2003 Friends, .

The AB\TP takes serious note of the deliberate fracas created by certain lumpen and pugnacious elements during the public tall< organized by the JNU History Fontm on the life and work ofV. D. Savarkar in the Periyar mess. .

Two ofthe residents ofPeriyar namely Arshad and Khalid, who had a peg too much,.

, .

deliberately tried to disrupt the aforesaid talk by their fundamentalist behavior. As soon as the meeting began, Arshad, who was heavily drunk, started making absurd and provocative comments. He was time and again warned to immediately stop his obscenities but he did not relent. Thereafter, he was joined by another Periyar resident .

. .

one Khalid Akhtar, and the two went on to make the most nonsense two-some. While the organizers were patiently trying to pacify them, they started threatening not only the .

, .

organizers but also the participants. Further, with utmost impunity and audacity, they began abusing the llindu community as a whole. The two, along with another anti-social ....,, element, Sumel Singh Sidhu, attacked the Hindu community in the choicest and cheapest terms, which were so extremely denigrating that they cannot even be mentioned here. The two miscreants viz Khalid and Arshad raised anti-Hindu and communal slogans deliberately hitting at the Hindu religious sentiments and religious tenets of sensitive -' ' significance in a bid to provoke communal flare-up in the campus exposing their .

. ~ ..

.'. fundamentalist and destructive nature. .

' .

The JNU campus should be ashamed of 1tselffor breeding such fundamentalists in the name ofsecularism. The miscreants could afford such an audacity ofopenly declaring war on a particular religion as they are aware of the fact that belonging to the minority community bestows upon them immunity from any stringent punishment, for their "secular", Marxist mentors cannot afford a cut into their Muslim vote banlc .

The leftist-fanatics on the campus have b~omethe godfathers of fundameqtalism. For the pseudo-secularist leftists of the campus fanaticism is another breed of "secularism". .

The ABVP raises serious concern over this most deplorable state of affairs and warns the campus ofthe coming days in which the campus may be turned into a Madarsa and a terrorist training camp .We demand immediate and stringent disciplinary action against the above-mentioned miscreants. .

The ABVP further warns such communal elements as Arshad, Khalid and Sumel Singh in the most direct terms. Any such misdemeanor on their part in the future would be thoroughly dealt with and they will have to face grave consequences. .

The ABVP once again warns the student community about the deteriorating environment of the campus due to the anti-national activities carried on by lumpens in collusion and with the tacit support ofthe leftists, and demands the immediate expulsion ofArshad, Sumel Singh Sidhu and Khalid Akhtar. .

rhis issue. It did not give a call even for a token action of support to J!'JUSU, yet .

the administration has tried to project JNUTA as partner of JNUSU. It has been spoken by Vice Chancellor at various forums that JNUTA is just 'a handful of .

and large number of teachers are with him. Vice Chancellor also claimedteachers' .

that there is no bar on dissent in JNU. But the way JNUTA President was told to .

quit as JNUTA President in order to be appointed as Centre chairman, which was due to him because of his seniority, and which, in an unprecedented action of the administration, was denied to him, as he did not succumb to administration .

pressure, shows the level of their 'tolerance' of dissent. Letter by JNUTA office bearers to VC on 28rn June and, prior to appointment of Chairperson CIL and protest letter by JNUTA President on 3ro July, after his seniority was bypassed, are reproduced in the bulletin. By this unprecedented action, the intention of administration is to browbeat not only an individual, but a representative and .

elected body of faculty. .

The fact of the matter is that this administration is totally intolerant of any .

.

view different from administration's. The way JNU Staff Association leaders were .

.

suspended; JNUSU has been dealt with and now JNUTA has been targeted, show .

the shape of things to come. This also needs to be kept in mind that the way large .

amount of University funds are being recklessly spent, without bothering about the .

.

basic requirements of faculty, students or staff, like need of new faculty houses, .

maintenance of existing houses and hostels, library requirements another academic .

requirements of faculty and students etc., present JNU administration does not .

.

want to be questioned on it. Since organizations like JNUTA, JNUSA, JNUOA or .

JNUSU can question it, they need to be silenced by creating an atmosphere of .

.

terror, which can now be felt among non teaching staff--officers and employees .

both, if one has a sensitivity to feel. Friends this JNUTA team might have shortcomings as all human beings have, .

but it can not be faulted on transparency, whatever has been done by this JNUTA team has always been put on for public scrutiny. JNUTA webpage has all the records on it and so have JNUTA bulletins. This bulletin carries faculty responses-.

of appreciation as well as of criticism. I have been forwarding messages from our .

.

esteemed members through group maiI to all other members and now those .

messages are presented here. As JNUTA President been charged with acting .

.

arbitrarily, brief response to this charge is included here. Let us assure you that .

JNUTA team has no 'hidden' agenda and it acts on the advice of its EC and GBM. As .

.

the GBM is likely to be held after reopening of University and after completion of we appeal to attend the GBM in large numbers and give guidanceadmission processI .

to your team. Please be conscious about the attempts of administration to weaken .

.

your own body-JNUTA by denigrating it. This would not only affect the dignity of .

.

it would also affect your own dignity as teacher and thinker. ItJNUTA as bodyI may even lead to controlling your freedom of expression as well. We promise to follow your advice in letter and spirit. .
