Reassert the Vision of A Socially-Inclusive, Democratic, Elect AISA to JNUSU! join .

What should be the character and content of the JNUSU :-.
On the 13111 of this month, we will be voting to elect the Students' Union for the coming year. What should be the character and contentofthe JNUSU in these times? As the JNUSU elections approach, it's importantto recall the true spiritand commitment .
thatwe seek in a Union that represents the students' voice. We need a Union that can defend students' rights, resistthe neoliberal assault on education, and wrest students' facilities.
It's quite simple really. .
from the Administration and the Government. We need a Union that has the clarity and commitment to speak out without hesitation againstevery violation ofpeople's liberties .
and draconian crackdown by the State on any pretext, on the right to dissent. .
We need a Union committed to social justice-that has a vision ofconstantly widening JNU's doors to ensure that the deprived .
and marginalised can access the University, and moreover, can have access to the help they need to remain in the University .
.
and get the best from it: such as hostels, fellowships for economically deprived students, and a barrier-free campus forthe .
.
differentlyabled. .
In our caste-ridden society, virtually all educational institutions are witness to attempts to circumvent or subvert caste-based .
.
deprivation points and OBC reservations in the face ofvery devious attempts to subvertthese measures. Disproportionate.
.
reservations. Discrimination often takes subtle rather than obvious forms. JNU has had SUs in the past that have defended .
viva weightage was exposed by the 2012 JNUSU as another measure used in a discriminatory way. We need a Union committed .
.
to struggling to ensure lowering of the viva weightage. .
The Union would have to recognise that gender discrimination and violence do not miraculously disappear as soon as we enter .
JNU's gates. Rather, as we are reminded by the recent terrible incident of violence on our own campus, JNU is and can be .
different only as long as we are committed to constantly battling patriarchy, and consciously creating an atmosphere where .
.
women can be free from the fear of violence in any form. .
.
We know how defending women's rights and democracy is hardest in the most intimate relationships. Similarly, on a campus, .
defending students' rights is hardestand mostchallenging when itcomes to the relations with facultywhohave powerover .
.
theiracademic career: theses, lab allotments, grading and marking, and so on. Establishing democraticground rules with .
.
safeguards against-violations is a m~stin student-teacher re1~nships. It is truethat JNU.hasgenerallybacta..tradition_of .
solidarity and dialogue between faculty and students. But to defend that tradition. it is all the more important not to take it for .
granted-but to establish ways in which to address and correct the many violations that have crept in. .
On a day-to-day basis, the Union has much to do. The JNUSU functions by assigning tasks to its Councillors, who serve on a interests on many fronts-the Library, the EOO, Placement Cell, CDC and so on. variety of committees to defend students' Contract workers in JNU look forward to the JNUSU and students and faculty to ensure that they get their legally mandated .
wages. Ensuring this is a painstaking, regular job that mostly takes place behind the scenes. .
Many people's movements count on the JNUSU for support and solidarity in many ways.At such a time. we really can't afford the .
JNUSU to be one that can't offer unstinting support for the struggles at Koodankulam, at Jagatsinghpur, at Lucknow or Batla .
.
House in Delhi, at Telangana or Gorkhaland. .
.
Of course, there will be battles that may take time to win. Struggles may be protracted. But we need a Union that is transparent .
.
and democratic in its functioning-a Union that we can trust to struggle with all its might, without compromise or hesitation. .
.
These are, then, broadly, the questions on which a JNUSU election is fought. But in the elections, and in the political trends on .
campus, there are some who seek to take away from this central focus. In this election, the NSUI, SFI, AISF and DSF. are all .
.
seeking to pose as champions of 1Campus issues,' claiming falsely thatthe JNUSU dominated by AISA has ignored these. .
.
They are helped by the media that projects the myth of JNU as a place where 'campus issues' take a back seat to 'national/ .
.
international' issues. .
This myth is laughable, ofcourse. The DUSU next door, domina~ed by NSUI orABVPyear after year. has no record of any struggle .
bad course under FYUP-figure in theiragenda, election campaign is reduced to lavish parties and money power, drowning out.

or achievement of students' rights, no genuine student issue-high fees. absence of hostel and MCM, transport, classroom or .
any serious political questions. It is the JNUSU, with its consistent principled stand on all issues of significance, and it .
commitmentto join people's movements in resisting anti-people policies, which has also successfully defended students' .
rights and won many students' facilities. It is the JNUSU w,ich gives a detailed account of these issues and struggles on .
.
students' and people's rights, at the end of every year to students, who put the report to vote. .
The NSUI, studentwing ofthe Congress, is striving this year to replace the democratic discourse ofJNUSU elections with a .
.
typical ruling class discourse of brokerage. 'Ourparentparty has power, and we've gotmoney, and ifJNU students makethe .

Comrades Of SFI - When Communal Common Sense Within .
Your Party Is The Enemy, Is It Not A Crime To Defend It? .
.
.
The recent heinous attack on college lecturer T.T. Joseph, masterminded by the PFI, was abarbaric crime that must be unequivocally condemned in the strongest terms. But can it provide an occasion to combat one kind of fundamentalist offensive with another or to bol-ster communal myths as the ruling CPI(M) government in Kerala seems intent on doing? .
Speaking to reporters at a press conference in Delhi, Kerala Chief Minister V.S.Achutanandan is quoted as saying that the PFI was trying to multiply Muslim numbers in the state and Islamise Kerala by influencing youth of other religions and convert-ing them by giving money, marrying them to Muslim women and thus producing kids of the community (Times of India report of July 26, 2010). .
VS remarks have provided immediate fodder to the communal propaganda of the SanghParivar. Predictably, the ABVP has gladly pounced on this statement of VS and has broughtout a poster congratulating CPIM-SFI and calling upon them to join its cause that of com-munal demonisation of Muslims! .
In response to the ABVP poster, the SFI has offered a defence: they said that the CMsremarks did not pertain to the Muslim community at large but only to fundamentalist andviolent activities of groups like the PFI which are a minority within the Muslim community.The CM himself has offered much the same explanation on the floor of the Assembly, whilestanding by his remarks the very next day. The SFI, even in this defence, admits that VS re-ferred to the PFIs so-called attempts to lure people into conversion. .
Let us accept the CPM-SFIs defence that VS remarks were targeted at a fundamentalistgroup and not at the entire Muslim community. Even so, his remarks smack of RSS-BJP spon-sored communal stereotypes. No one would object if he had condemned the barbaric act byPFI and harshly attacked their violent activities. But why did he refer to conversion and population increase as so-called communal activities of the PFI? In CPIM-SFIs eyes, is conversion a crime? Doesnt the BJP-RSS similarly accuse Christian and Muslims groups of luring people through money into conversion? Is the accusation of multi-plying numbers not a favourite piece of communal myth-making by the RSS? Why is SFI silent on VS remarks about the supposed PFI ploy of population increase? .
The SFI says that the TOI falsely compares VS remarks to love jehad theories. It is truethat the love jehad theory spread by the Sangh Parivar and supported even by the Keralaand Karnataka High Courts mainly pertains to accusations that Muslim youth are marryingHindu women in order to convert the latter and increase population. Whereas VS in his re-marks says the PFI is converting non-Muslim youth (presumably male) and marrying them off to Muslim women in order to produce kids of the community. So, it is true that VS did not refer to love jehad in so many words. But in spirit, his remarks are very much in line with the love jehad bogey. As the TOI story correctly points out, the Kerala High Court in August 2009 asked the state police to probe if there was an organised jehadi racket work-.
