The students, movement of JNU has strived for democratisation of education and the campus space from its inception in the early seventies. The democratic ethos of the student movement has inspired generations of students to swim against the tide and to challenge the status-quo. It is the JNU students' movement that has ensured that students from oppressed and marginalised sections of the society-be it from oppressed castes and tribes, religious and national minorities, women, labouring classes, and so on-avail the opportunities of public-funded and subsidised higher education of this university. The true embodiment of this democratic spirit is the Constitution ofJNU Students' Union which is the product as well as the guiding force of the students' movement over the last four decades. Reflecting "this. the Preamble of the JNUSU Constitution mandates the following aims and objectives for the JNU students' union and the students, movement it has. led, .
(1) The Union shall strive to live up to the important role students have to play in the development and progress of our people. (2) The Union shall endeavour to make our academic courses relevant to the needs of our society and meet the expectations our people have from us. (3) The Union shall endeavour to democratise the structure of decision-making in the University in order to be able to effectively strive for relevance in our education (4) The Union shall promote and safeguard the genuine interests of the student community, and link it up with the democratic movement in the country, including struggles for gender equality. .
JNU's students' movement has been at crossroads ever since the Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations were Imposed on the JNUSU in 2008 and elections accord~ng to this Constitution were stalled. It was clear to the student community of the campus that in the garb of controlling money and muscle power. Lyngdoh meant to curb our right to un1onise ar.d to freely ~lect our representattves with.out any administrative interference, to silence m1litant and assertive students' politics, to suppress criticality of thought and freedom of speech, thus to facilitate the move to discourage socially relevant education and research, to curtail the process of democratisation of education by restricting .
ucational opportunities to only the few privileged and dominant sections of the society Nor is it a secret that Lyngdoh guidelines seek to .
.mml"\tc the society's dominant ideologies in education -be it brahmanism and casteism, Hindu majoritarianism in the name of 'national integration', individualism and careerism. Lyngdoh in essence is apenal instrument in the hands of the Indian state to push-through its nee-liberal policies -the first and foremost being privatisation and commercialisation of higher education. Taking cue from the reports of Birta-Ambani and the Knowledge Commission, Lyngdoh envisages universities like JNU to become 'world class' training centres for ~human resource development'. These guidelines are also the precursors to a plethora of anti-student laws on higher education which the Indian state is going to impose on the student community in the near future As the mechanism of depolittcisrng campuses, criminalising students' politics, promoting brahminical education and facilitating administrative interference, Lyngdoh becornes synonymous with Market, Manu and Meritocracy that stands for a blend of feudal, decadent and ehist s:,siem of education All these factors inherent in the highly objectionable .
clauses and provisions of these guidelines prompted the JNU s'.udent community to resrst Lyngdoh for the last four years. .
However, we also recognise that the struggle to defend the students' movement of JNU and to restore elections as per the JNUSU Constitution has encountered a serious setback. The JNUSU Constitution which has ensured the autonomy and independence of the students' union and guided the progressive students' movement of the campus is on the verge of being discarded. The Joint Struggle Committee-which was established by the very first UGBM against Lyngdoh in 2008 with the mandate to restore JNUSU elections according to its constitution-has been turned into a means to facilitate Lyngdoh. As aresun, the JSC has lost its role and credibility as a platform to resist and defeat Lyngdoh. Thus, the acceptance of Lyngdoh as the model for JNUSU elections and the dismantling of the JNUSU Constitution have brought anew challenge before the JNU students' movement. .
But the struggle is far from over. The need is to unite and strengthen the struggle for rejecting Lyngdoh in toto. The primary .
av1vuv'' in campuses like JNU has now become that of between Lyngdoh and the student community. At a time when all democratic .
atforms established by the students including the JNUSU, the UGBM, the JSC, etc., are under subversion and attack from within and .
outside, we must build solidarities with a renewed pledge to carry forward the progressive studenfs movement of JNU. The effort of various .
forces within campus that are in favour of Lyngdoh, is to instil a sense of defeat among the students by slowly eating away the radical .
studenfs opposition against it. They are 'mobilising, to demobilise; to depoliticise. We therefore feel the necessity of a platfOJTn that can play a .
leading role in bringing together all the students who have resolutely stood against the imposition of Lyngdoh and opposed those opportunistic .
forces within the student community which have tacitly or openly advocated these guidelines. This platform will intervene in all possible .
spaces and utilise all available means to resist the assault of Lyngdoh and its larger agenda-privatisation, meritocracy and brahminism in .
education. .
We, the students of JNU, therefore resolve to organise ourselves through the platform 'Struggle Committee against .
Lyngdoh, Privatisat.lon and Brahmanism' to carry forward this struggle and to restore JNUSU according to the JNUSU Constitution. .
This platform of struggle will defend our hard-won democratic space, basic rights and measures of social ju~tice-from .
reservations and deprivation points to scholarships and subsidised education. When there is a concerted attempt to spread .
cynicism by projecting Lyngdoh as a fait-accompli, when the aggression of privatlsation and meritocracy i~ bejng portrayed to us .
as inevitable, this Struggle Committee will enthuse the student community with a new hope of vlctor.y in our coliective endeavour. .

Neil Ciotola took part in the Pilgrimage to the Alamo Monday, April 11 at 4 p.m. Since 1925, the Daughters of the Alamo have led this time-honored tradition to pay homage to the defenders of the fateful garrison.
A solemn procession of various civic organizations, patriotic groups and military units and commands silently carry wreaths six blocks from the Municipal Auditorium and lay them to rest in front of the Alamo. A voice calls out the names of the defenders who gave their lives for Texas independence.
Lt. Gen. Guy Swan, commanding general of U.S. Army North, gave remarks and the ceremony ended with taps.
