is ~till prevalent within the ~?UI proh!b~ting i.t from taking nn~ P<?sition on the issue of <?BC reserva~on..we challenge the NSUI to take a concrete poslt10n on this tssue Jnstead of hoodwinking the student commuruty through Jts cnminal silence. EXPOSE THE PRO_PO~:E~TS OF NO MANDAL _NO ' KAMAN_DAL: While th~ right-wing forces in this campus aided by the RSS-ABVP-JPF 1S divtding the student .communtty on caste lines, .the AISA 1n yesterday's pamphlet going by its utterly sectru:ian character chose to attack the SFI mstead of these forces. This completely exposes the anti-left politics of AlSA in this campus. While the AISA claiming to be at the forefront of pro-reservation protests, we would challenge the AISA to answer these simple questions: .

.

Every left organization in this campus was born in the context of a progressive movement in our country. The AISF was born at the height of the anti-colonial movement, the SFI was born in the context of anti-imperialist movement du1ing the Vietnan: war and again_st the ~emi-fas_cist terror unleashed br the Congress in ~e 1970s. AISA is however an exception to this. It was born~.the 90s dunng the two most .reactionary movements m the country, one against reservation and the other for building the Ram temple at Ayodhya. SFI was the only srudent organization which openly supported the Manda.! recommendation. AISA's slogan at that time was 'No Mandai No Kamandal' through ~hich. it .mo~ilized the most rabidly castcist sections of the studen~ commu~i~y including history sheeters like RaJ T1war.1 who later became a from ABVP. Now that same AISA 1s sermoruztng on the issue of rese.rvacions!l .

.

.

In 1999, immediately after the de bate on Progressive Admission Policy (PAP), a significant section of the AISA activists and leaders left AlSA since influential leadership in AISA did not support 27°/o reservation for OBCs. Has AISA forgotten this bitter truth? .

.

.

During the JNUSU elections of 2004, A.rvind , an AISA activist who was their SIS panel in-charge harassed a dalit ~tudent of SIS who ~as also an ~SAcan~idate on cast~ lines. Why has not AISA taken any action against its activist who had abused 1ts O'\vn Councillor cand1datc on caste lines? .

.

.

Last year~s Vice-Presidential candidate of AISA, Kanika Singh, rnisbehaved and insulted a faculty mem ber of CSSS with an o'rert caste connotations in front of the whole class. 'What brand of revolutionary politics is this? .

.

.

In the course of the ongoing debate on reservations for OBCs, the JNUSU, organized a Public Meeting, ·a day long convention and a demonstration at Janta.r mantar. In all these activities of the JNUSU, the participation ofAISA did not cross three, one less than the four letters in AISA. So much for their seriousness on the issue of OBC .

.

.

.

reservation. , .

WHERE ARE THE AISA LEAPERS AND THE JNUSU PRESIDENT? .

.

Maintaining her earlier record, JNUSU President is again absent from campus when such an important issue of national importance is being thoroughly debated in the campus. Even after all the incident of violence took place., she did not deem it fit to come back to the campus to clarify her position. She did not even inform the students of her una.vailabiliry beforehand. It is only when her organization decided to sit for a Hunger Strike, she chose to send a fax to the student .

community saying that she is busy with her academic commitments in Bangalore. It has become habitual on the part of JNUSU President to communicate with the students who have elected her to the coveted post through media or fax. We would also like to ask whether her academic commitment is more worthwhile than that of other office bearers and other political activists of the campus? Do the students of the campus who are fighting for the cause of social justice and reservation do not have any academic commitJ.nent? Such crass assertions of careerism do not befit aJNUSU President. It is the tradition of JNUSU Presidents to uphold d1e interests of the students and the people of the country above all individual interests. The present JNUSU President is doing dishonour lo the other JNUSU Presidents who have played and still playing exemplary role .in left politics and for the advancement of the people by citing her narrow interests as an excuse for being absent from campus on such an important issue. Shame!! [n order to hide the embarrassment of the JNUSU President's absence, the AISA has started a Hunger Strike in the campus. Both these Hunger Strikes are completely irrelevant in JNU since rhe decision rests with the Government and not the JNU Administration. On the other hand this is nothing but ero ding the authority and legitimacy of the JNUSU, unfortunately taking place at the hands of those who are leading the JNUSU. .

\YJe are however waiting for an other set of fax from the AlSA leaders Awadesh Tripat:h.i and Sandeep Singh regarding their academic or other commitments who have disappeared from campus since the morning of 19th may, the day Youth for (In)Equality organized its March. AISA's notice proclaiming their Exposill'e tour explicitly mentions that Sandeep Singh can be contacted till 25th may for the tour. However, he along with Awadhcsh vanished from campus since the morning of 19th May. The disappearance of the entire senior leadership of AISA during this issue is to facilitate their alliance with the reactionary sections of the campus like the JPF, which they had done last year. This is in continuation with their politics in West Bengal where the celebrated naxil leader Ashim Chatterjee contested elections from T.cinamool dus year. This only .

exposes the bankruptcy of the naxal brand of politics in the country. AISA's tirades against the left in West Bengal continues in this issue too. The comments ascribed to Com. Biman Bose quoted from the Telegraph are misrepresented and inco.rrect. Com. Bose had only articulated the CPI(M)'s position that seats should also be increased while implementing the reservation for OBCs. AISA behaving as agents of the botttgeois mecfut is propagating the incorrect quote ascribed to Com. Biman Bose. In the Assembly elections in Bengal, the Left under the leadership of Com. Bose has achieved a historic victory '.vith the conunon people in Bengal, pa.rticulacly from the deprived sections, voting overwhelmingly for the Left. AISA's accusations against the Left in Bengal are nothing but a me.re echo of the slander campaign of the Trinatnool Congress and the media jn West Bengal. The Left has always been at the forefront of the struggles for social justice aimed at an e~tlitarian India. The issue of reservation and spending 6°/o of GDP on highcr education is a part of the CMP of the present UPA governtnent on the insistence of the left forces. Even in 1989-90; it was the Left supported Government ofV.P. Singh which implemented the Mandai Commission report. Even now it is the pressll!'e from the left and many other constirucnts of the uPA that cotnpelled the Congress led government to in1plement 27o/o OBC reservation without dilution. Instead of attacking the left, AISA should focus its energy on bringing back the JNUSU President to rhe campus. We appeal to the student con1mun.ity to expose the casteist politics ofRSS-ABVP-JPF and the opportunist politics ofNSUl and AlSA .

Initiatives and achievements at the School level .

Fact-findin·g team to Vidarbha: As the agrarian crisis continues, unde~ the lea~ers~ip of SSS Councillors, a fact-finding team was organized to Vidarbha between 21-29 May to examme agranan Indebtedness and government policies that have led to innumerable farmer suicides and left the region destitute and helpless. The twelve-memb~r team visited three tehslls of Pusad, Mahagaon, and Arni 1n Yavatmal D1strict. The reason for the su1c1des are rooted 1n the deadly cocktail of systematic withdrawal of government support, decreasing subsidtes. Increasing costs of production, repeated crop failure, all of wh1ch are adding to a vtcious cycle of Indebtedness. More shameful and disturbing is the fact that the government whose agrarian pol1c1es are to blame is putting the blame on the farmers by alleging farmers' "psychologicalu problems, -"addictions", and even alleged "laziness"! Mere political maneuvers in terms of packages or waiving loans will not yield results unless governments fundamentally change the1r approach of preferential treatment to corporates at the cost of the peasants and the agricultural sector .

SSS Debates: Intervening in the Burning Questions of our times: As councillors 1n SSS, we hold that it 1s our responsibility as thinking students to quest1on the prevailtng commonsense of our ttmes. Instead of allowmg academics to be an exercise of manufacturing consent, it is mperative to inteNene and ensure the l1nk between academics and political engagement. .

The beginning of 2008 saw a rash of cases of violence against women in several metros A public meeting Beyond the Headlines: Combating Sexual Harassment in the City' was organized to discuss ways of dealing with the forms of sexual harassment that recur in cities. In the wake of a continued offens1ve by the communal fascist forces, a public lecture by Prof Harbans Mukhia was organized on "India's Past· Communal Myth Maktng and Histoncal Reality" to expose distortions In academic writtng as well as the agendas that feed them. A 2-day-lecture senes was held by Prof Amit Bhaduri. a formidable voice against mainstream economic orthodoxy. entitled ·understandtng Pol1t1cs through the Lens of Unorthodox Economics". These lectures examined the relevance of economic theory in understanding contemporary debates as well as examining issues and definitions of growth and democracy .

Registration to Priya: The JNUSU office bearers and we as councilors made several inteNentions for ensuring registration to Priya, a student of CESP. Given the fact that she comes from a deprived background and suffered from illness. we argued that due consideration must be made by her guide and faculty members to relax the rules in her case. Initially, the faculty of CESP remained unresponsive to the 1ssue Eventually. due to consistent student pressure the faculty extended her registration so that she could get her synopsis conftrmed. .

Resolving demands of PH students: As Councilors of SSS, we have consistently raised the 1ssue of ensunng that this campus is equally accessible to Physically Challenged students Many of the 1ssues ra1sed in SSS 1n th1s regard were g1ven centre-stage priority by JNUSU: whether this be the construction of a ramp to access the DSA and Extm Bank Libraries. the installation of software rn the scl1ools for VH students, or the fixing and proper working of computers in the Helen Keller unit. Another initiative has been ensuring a pool of writers to aid VH students dunng exams. In each case, our understanding has been that these are rights that the un1vers1ty community must ensure and safeguard. .

Participation in the SSS Library Committee: As SSS Councilors we have worked closely wtth teachers and the SSS Library Committee to find solutions to the problems that exist in the facilities and functtoning of the Central Library It was as a result of these efforts that it became clear that there was a complete lack of transparency in the functioning of the Central library and that the working conditions were atrocious The demand for electroniC connectivity between the catalogues of the departmental libraries and the central library has been ra1sed by us and ts being followed at all the requisite levels. We have also circulated a requisition form among students so as to ensure that there is greater student involvement in the purchase of books for the library. .

Departmental Libraries: The issue of the departmental libraries was ratsed for the first t1me by us as co~nctlors and pursued with the Deans and the Chairpersons of various centres. SSS councilors intervened on the issue of the CHS OSA, protesting the underpayment of staff members there, as a result of which the staff member was hired on a new contract and the timing of the library was extended till 8 p.m. last semester W1th regard to the demand for Xerox facilities in departmental libraries, there have been some improvements tn this regard w1th CSRD allowing for Xeroxtng of materials, CSSS allowing limited Xeroxing, and CPS agreetng to have xeroxed textbooks and reqUired readings with the support of the student faculty committee While t11e issue of exlens1on of timtngs 1s sttll a pressmg one, as counc1lors we were able to ensure tt1at the ttming of the departmental llbranes was extended dunng the .
