The Indian Republic today is faced with a multi-faceted crisis. The economy is headed towards doom with therupee witnessing a free fall and a severe slowdown afflicting industry and agriculture. Even as employmentsituation deteriorates rapidly, inflation stubbornly persists, eating away the real earnings of the working people. Totop it all, there is the burgeoning external sector deficit which has made India vulnerable to the kind of crisiswitnessed by South East Asia and Latin America in the earlier decades. This precarious economic situation is aresult of the two decades long pursuit of neoliberal free market policies by the Indian state, under the aegis of theCongress, BJP and other ruling class parties. .
Democracy has suffered steady degeneration, with the _present Congress regime at the-centre setting new recordsin corporate ioot and plunder of resourc-es through m~ga scams like 2G, CWG, KG gas, Coalgate etc. Land scamsunder the Congress governments in Maharashtra,._Haryana and Rajasthan or the mining scam by the Bellarybrothers under the erstwhile BJP government in Kamataka-have exposed the extent of the·rot. The large scale .
fraud on the people by chit funds like Saradha in West Bengal, death of children due to poisoning of mid-day mealsin Bihar or the recent persecution of lAS officer Durga Nagpal by the UP government ·at the behest of the sandmafia, show how little the regional parties differ from the Congress and BJP, when it comes to serving vestedinterests. --".
On the eve of the Lok Sabha elections, people are being ·offered with an empty choice between a Rahul Gandhi,who has nothing to his credit but for his dynastic link, and Narendra Modi,· whose track record in Gujarat vis-a-visthe ethnic cleansing of Muslim minorities as well as his brazen pro-corporate agenda goes against the very idea ofa secular, pluralistic and democratic India. The emptiness of this choice is symptomatic of a political crisis. .
Alongside the economic and political crisis, there.is .a social crisis reflected in the increasing level of reactionaryviolence against the oppressed and vulnerable sections of society. Atrocities against women, especially youngwomen. have risen alanningly. Despite th.e_significant intervention of the JNU-students in the agitation against theDelhi gang rape last December, the fact that an incident of the kind that happened within our campus on August 31could happen in _JNU, reminds us of gravity of gender violence in our society. There is a patriarchal b~cklashagainst the changing status quo. .
-·Oppressed sections of society like the Oalits and Muslims continue to bear the brunt of atrocities and state.
repression: From the case of llavarasan in Tamil Nadu, who had to die for marrying outside his caste to the 20-yearold dalit girl in Haryana's Jind who was raped and murdered a week ago while on h~r way to appear in anexamination, the state continues to protect and shield the casteist perpetratorS. Due to the prevalent biases of thestate machinery, hundreds of innocent Muslim youth across the country have been wrongfully arrested in terrorcases and charged under draconian provisions, like in the Malegaon and Mecca Masjid blast cases -which werethe handiwork of the saffron terror outfits. While some of these young people eventually get acquitted, theycontinue to live a life of insecurity and stigma without any state support Some like Khalid Mujahid of UP are killedin police custody. .
. In this milieu of an economic, political and social crisis, the masses are left in loneliness. The way out cannot lie inhopelessness and cynicism. Nor can it lie in passively electing the lesser evil into power. Change can come only.
when people are on the move, with a progressive, democrati<t and transfonnative agenda. It is-this vision of changethrough popular movements and struggles to which the Democratic .Students' Federation remains committed. The \day is not far .when our own lndignados, our own occupiers will stonn (utyens Delhi and shudder the foundations of.
this crisis-ridden Republic... ·.
