Unite against the Vitriolic Communal Campaign of ABVP!! 1 the .

Friends, 18/09/08 ~e .

The SFI condemns in strongest possible·words the rabidly communal campaign that is being done by the ABVP in this campus after the Delhi Blasts, which took place on Saturday. In its third consecutive pamphlet since Sunday, the ABVP has once again come up with a venomous campaign against religious minorities in our country in the name of its so-called \var on terror". In an outrageous manner, .

h, .

ABVP's pamphlet dated 161h Sept. has individually targeted some fellow students who had brought out some releases condemning the Delhi Blasts and ABVP's communal pamphleteering. It is quite clear that this campaign is aimed at creating a communal polarization in the campus and strengthening the communal agenda of the Sangh Parivar in the country. ParanoiJ is being engineered in the country to push for the reinstatement of draconian laws like the TADA and POTA (imposed during the NOA's tenure) in the name of fighting terror. It is the responsibility of all secular-democratic forces in the country that a wider unity is built to defeat the communal designs of the right reactionary forces to whip up communal frenzy. Of course, there is no denying the fact that terrorism is a serious threat to the unity and stability of our country. .

The recent increase in the number of terrorist attacks in the last few months reflects serious lapses on the part of intelligence agencies and home ministry in the country. The UPA government, particularly the Union Home Minister has completely failed to take any corrective measures or evoke confidence among the masses. If anything, the insensitive and lame duck attitude of the government in dealing wrth the situation has only emboldened the communal-fascist campaign of the RSS-BJP which is targeting minorities and pushing for reinstating draconian detention laws like the POTA. The ABVP and BJP must answer to the people of this country that if POTA and TADA are the solution to terrorist attacks or only the BJP can deal with terrorism, then why did some of the worst terrorist attacks in India like the Parliament attack, Red Fort attack or Akshardham Temple attack in Gujarat take place during the NDA's tenure when all these laws were in place? The country has not forgotten how the NDA government made a mess of the JC-814 plane hijack's case and no one else but country's foreign minister Jaswant Singh himself took 3 terrorists to Afghanistan in return for the hijacked passengers. Perhaps the ABVP would also enlighten the student community that what was the reason for the shameful failure on part of the intelligence agencies in timely detecting the Pakistani intrusion in Kargil in 1999, under the visionary leadership of Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee? Had there been a timely detection of this intrusion, hundreds of soldiers would not have lost there lives in the Kargil war. So much for the BJP's anti-terror and nationalism rhetoric!! There is enough factual evidence to prove that the conviction rate for people booked under laws like TADA and POTA is abysmally low and these laws have been widely used to detain innocent Muslims without any documentary proof of them being involved in terrorist acts. What is needed to curb terrorism and prevent terrorist attacks is a well functioning intelligence and security .

t system. The National Security Advisor has himself admitted today that there were serious lapses on part of the intelligence .

Cc agencies in dealing with the terrorist activities. No TADA or POTA can prevent terrorist attacks if the intelligence agencies cannot get .

ac .

.

their acts together. The central investigative agency of the country CBI. which has been handling the investigation of such incidents,.

rn; .

displayed its 'efficiency' to the country in the Arushi murder case!! Political opportunism and. degeneration of the two main ruling parties.

ad1 .

BJP and the Congress, have reduced the intelligence and investigative agencies like the CBI as a tool to settle political scores with .

In J opponents. Strong pressure must be built to push for a strengthened internal security and intellrgence apparatus in the country. The UPA .

government must convene a Parliament session and present a report on this matter to the people. It is obvious that none of these.

.

stud .

comE concerns bother the RSS or the ABVP in this campus. Its only agenda is to whip up communal passions and gather political mileage. The .

mino1 SFI is under no illusions ·that the ultimate aim of both kinds of fundamentalist forces be it terrorist organizations like Indian Mujahideen or ad min communal fascist forces like the BJP and tile ABVP is l'o weaken the secular-democratic fabric of this country. Any democratic state must to the ensure that its citizens are assured of at least the right to safe livelihood. Justice must be delivered to the people who have been victims targetit of mindless violence, whether it is a terrorist attack or killings of innocent Muslims and Christians in Gujarat. Orissa or Karnataka. But as .

adminis people who celebrate the anti-imperialist and secular legacy in India we must ensure that neither terrorism nor Hindu Fascism is allowed to prevail over our secular-democratic ethos. The SFI calls upon the student community to defeat the communal fascist po:itics of the Sangh Giroh and strengthen our struggle against both communalism and terrorism. We appeal to the students ioin tonight's Protest Meeting followed by Effigy Burning against ABVP.'s rabid hate mongering and communal pamphleteering in large numbers. .

IntensifY the Fight against Privatisation of Campus .

.

The massive protest demonstration on February 3rd at the ad-block called py JNUSU has sent a clear message to the authoritarian JNU administration that its anti-student polides induding the ongoi"ng privatization drive in the: campus in the name of 'resource-generation' must immediately stop. Wl;:lile installing of electric met-ers in the rooms of Koena hostel, a sharp increase in the price of the JNU prospectus, renting of the PSR, making of OBC reservation conditional to 'availability of infrastructure', curtailment in dhaba timings etc. were some of th.e immediate demands, the students also collectively expressed their anger against bypassing of the student community in decision-ma~ing, and imposition of polides that go against the grain of JNU as a socially-sensitive and responsible institution. Taking full advantage of the supreme court's stay on JNUSU elections, the administration has Intensified its efforts to make JNU a corporate-friendly university, in the unfounded expectation that there will be no effective resistance from the students. The administration is introducing anti-student polices one after another in quick succession, and has once again challenged the student community to take up the responsibility of defending what JNU stands for: with a democratic, inclusive and socially responsible education that upholds the spirit of criticality and non-conformism in thought .

The intensification of the privatisation drive in the campus: The students' movement of JNU has fought attempts at privatisation and corporatisation ofcampus spaces In the past, the successful struggle against Nestle in 2004-05 and Tata funding in the School of Arts and Aesthetics in 2007 being recent examples. Past attempts at fee hike was ~lso fought and wc;m. However, this does not mean that the campus have remained .immune to the !larger policies of Liberalisation, Privatisation and imperialist Globalisation. For instance, crores of rupees are being invested by corporate houses in the science centres of JNU to facilitate market-oriented research. Highly expensive courses such as the Global Studies Programme in CSSS have been introduced which are sponsored by multinatjonals like BMW and Mackenzie. Fo"rd Foundatjon has provided funds for setting up and running the Centre for Law and Governance. Cerporates like Mahindra and others have come to JNU for recruitment, and curriculums of many centres have been changed to cater to the needs of the market. .

These are only a few examples from our campus how privatisation and corporatisation is being implemented in higher .

education. Today higher education remains accessible to only a few who can afford to pay hefty fees for technical .

courses in IITs, IIMs, engineering, medical and media institutes and so on, be it public or private. 'Merit' is not a .

criterion of admission for those who can pay large capitation fees and buy degrees in the market. Even in neighbouring .

.

DU colleges, the yearly fees have become highly prohibitive for a majority of the students from weak economic and .

soda I backgrounds. The fact that fees in JNU have remained low and thus affordable in some ways to the deprived .

classes, is because of the progressive students' movement which have struggled against the logic of the market to .

uphold a democratic and indusive education. With the onslaught of nee-liberal policies of the state, this too has come .

under attack. The days are not far when the administration will introduce a steep increase in the tuition fees and hostel .

.

rents etc. with the argument that the university needs to generate its own resources. The administration has tried to justify the electric meters in Koena hostel by arguing that most of the students get scholarships, and hence should bear .

a portion of the cost of education and fadlities they receive. .

Privatisation in the campus is taking place at many levels. Not only is the PSR being rented out or auditoriums made .

open for commercial use, even the essential services in the campus are also being made contractual whereby private .

companies such as Group 4 is in charge of campus security, Chase is providing library workers and lab assistants, .

Vayudoot is employing workers for gardening, garbage collection and electrical works, Gari.ma is running messes in .

Chandrabhaga, Lohit and Mahi-Mandvi hostels, and so on. Much like the students who come from economically and .

socially weaker sections of the society are being denied the right to higher education, the workers are also denied their .

.

basic work-related rights under the privatized regime, and are struggling to ensure their rights. .

Attempts to scuttle 27°/o OBC Reservation: The rights and opportunities of the marginalised sections to education .

in campuses like JNU are being further jeopardized by the scuttHng of OBC reservations even after it becoming the law .

.

of the land. Last year when after a protracted battle -both inside and outside the court-27°/o OBC reservation got a go .

ahead, the JNU administration subverted it by drastic seat cuts, and ensuring that a mere 9°/o sttJdents could take .

admission under the provisions of the act. Even though the administration assured that this year the full quota of 27o/o .

.

would be fulfil.led, it has been again made conditional to 'infrastructure'. Making the provision of 54°/o seat increase .

conditional on OBC reservation itself was a ploy to prolong and scuttle the implementation of reservation, and this year .

.

too the same logic of inability to increase seats have been used by administration. Whereas funds are in no short .

supply to be lavishly spent on needless extravagance in the name of 'campus beautification' and putting up of .

expensive gadgets and furniture all around, lack of funds is the excuse for not providing the necessary infrastructure to .

.

Expanding Democratic Student Representation in Decision-making bodies: Student representation in AC/BoS has to be ensured, the undemocratic grade point criteria has to be rejected and SFCs revitalised. .

Resisting Moral Policing and Autocratic Functioning of the JNU Administration: The unfortunate trend of unwarranted questioning and moral policing by the JNU security staff, the illogical restrictions on student movements, and the levying of illogical, arbitrary fines by hostel administrations for a range of misdemeanours needs to be resisted. .

Foreign students: The process of issuing degree to foreign students must be expedited, so that their career prospects elsewhere are not affected; a fixed time frame be given for conducting their Viva, democratising foreign students' Fee-Waiver Committee functioning; ensuring prompt reply to the applicants and enrolled students regarding acceptance in JNU; book borrowing facilities from the library for casual students; renovating, refurnishing and equipping of the FSA office; a properly functioning International Student Advisor's Office. .

Resist This Day-Light Robbery Of OBC Seats! .

.

Join United ProtestDemonstraliOD_at~~d Block on 15 July Tomorrow at 11 am .

.

As tile student community is well aware, the JNU administration has scuttled OBC reservations yet again this year by reinstating the Aditya Mukherjee committee's faulty cut-off criteria for OBC candidates. Despite the protracted debate that has happened in JNU over OBC reservations -where the Aditya Mukherjee Committee's recommendations were firmly rejected by the Academic Council, the Executive Council as well as the Dean's Committee -the administration chose to bring back the committee's faulty cut-off criteria on 12th July. According to the administration, this decision was taken because YFE's lawyer (Puneet Jain), along with a couple of other lawyers, had questioned the 'legality' of withdrawing the Aditya Mukherjee Committee's recommendations. .

Results for most BAIMA programmes for the 2010-2011 academic year in JNU have now been declared, and the results clearly point out a massive shortfall in OBC seats. In the MA programmes alone -barring two centres (CESP and EI·L) where results have not yet been declared -as many as 94 seats legally earmarked for OBC candidates have remained unfulfilled. thanks to the .faulty, illegal. illogical and casteist cut-off criteria that the JNU administration is hell-bent on following. This works out to lust 15.4% reservation for OBC candidates in the MA programmes, though JNU is legally bound to provide 27% OBC reservation this year. In the results declared for the BA programmes too, there is a shortfall of another 18 OBC seats and only 24% OBC reservation has been provided. .

In reverting back to the faulty cut-off criteria, the JNU administration has shamufully pandered to the casteist anti-reservation forces consisting of YFE and certain sections of the faculty and the administration. The JNU administration resorted to this shameful ploy at a time when the MPI1il vivas are taking place, and JUST ONE DAY before the BA/MA results were de.::lared. While the casteist administration is trying to justify its stand by pleading 'legal ambiguity', it is clear that the JNU administration has happily allowed itself to be 'threatened' by the mere opinion of a bunch of prejudiced lawyers representing patently anti-reservation forces. Nothing could be more shocking, and more demeaning for JNU's reputation of upholding social justice. .

Given the anti-reservation bias of the JNU administration, which has come to the fore in the past two years, it is clear that the administration was eagerly waiting for an opportunity to scuttle OBC reservations once more. And this opportunity was orchestrated by the administration in cahoots with the casteist YFE. Obviously, the administration was just wailing to be 'threatened' by a 'legal notice' so that it could once more bnng back the faulty cut-off criteria! And it now appears that the casteist anti-reservation lobby in JNU has discovered a 'magic wand' of 'legal ambiguity' in order to permanently scuttle OBC reservations in JNU. ~ .

The manner in which the OBC Reservation Act of 2006 has been implemented shows the extent of casteist bias prevalent in our society. To start with, OBC reservations came with a rider that the n~ber of .general category seats should not be reduced. OBC reservations could thus be implemented only with a 54% increase in seats. It is shocking that while the casteist, anti-reservation forces in the country have happily and enthusiastically cornered the additional money and resources available under the OBC Reservation Act. they have equally enthusiastically ensured. using their administrative positions in different institutions. that the legally mandated OBC seats remain unfulfilled, which can then be diverted to the general category as a double bonanza. These forces have thus shamefully robbed the backward sections of socjety of their legitimate rights, and cornered the benefits of a progressive law enacted in the name of social Justice! .

What we are witnessing in JNU is a prime example of this casteist attitude. Casteism is nothing but a century-old conspiracy to keep the stranglehold over resources, education and power in the hand of certain sections of society. The powers-that-be in the JNU administration -headed by a Vice Chancellor whose term has officially ended, ar~d run by people known to have strong casteist anti-reservation opinions -are completely unwilling to allow eligible OBC candidates from entering institutions of higher learning. This is morally and ethically despicable and legally indefensible. .

This criminal scuttling of social justice has to stop. AISA appeals to the student community to join in large numbers in .

the protest demonstration called by all organisations tomorrow (July 15) at the Ad Block from 11 am onwards, to .

oppose re-introduction of Aditya Mukherrjee Committee's casteist "cut-off" criteria and to demand that the Deans .

Committee's recommendations of June 171h be reinstated immediately. For the past two years, AJSA has consistently .

been raising the crucial issue of the faulty cut-off criteria. while no other organisation was willing to acknowledge and .

address this issue. It has taken a long time for these organisations to finally recognise the problem, and AISA believes that .

.

-.

this is a welcome development. The need of the hour is the broadest possible unity to ensure proper implementation of OBC .

reservations. This battle has to be fought to the finish. .

At a practjcal. day-to-day level, the absence of a gynaecologist at the health centre -a real problem for "omen·s .

health -reflects the Lack of seriousness towards women's health issues. especially \\hen there are other medical .

specialists available at the health centre. In addition, counselling services regarding sexuality and sexual health .

can remove many misconceptions about these issues. .

There are many areas in the campus that are frequented but are dark or poorly lit making them insecure. The .

presence of \Yomen security personnel can to an extent make a change for the women when reporting incidents of .

sexual assault and harassment. Sensitization programs need to be designed nnd extended to include ou r campus .

security. An effective system of crisis management by the GSCASH and the campus security sen icc that is both .

gender sensitive and prompt is needed. Finally. making GSCASH as transparent n body as possible by incrcas111g .

Godavari Mess 31.01.07( Today) i.30pm .

The 1mplicatjons of the Sachar Committee findings ought to be a JOlt to Indian democracy. The systemic backwardness, discrimination, neglect and exclusion towards the Mushm mmority is a telling comment on the weakness of lnd1an secularism. The Sangh Parivar's myth of 'Muslim appeasemenf stands revealed, and high degree of deprivation and discrimination faced by Muslims In states ruled by the so-called 'secular' formations, including Congress, RJD, SP and even CPI(M) also stands exposed. .

The Sachar Report records the daily battle the Muslims face with stereotypes and prejudices, and the deep scars thatcommunal violence leaves on this community. However, certain significant omissions and silences in the Sachar Report are dtsturbing. The Report finally tabled in Parliament ·failed to include the data on over-representation ofMuslims In prisons, though it recorded their gross under-representation in jobs and educational institutions. When the Sachar Committee had sought data from the military, the BJP had whipped up a frenzy, and the UPA Government succumbed to the communal pressure. The PMO had washed its hands offthe Committee .

then, and the Committee was not permitted to access data from the Armed Forces. It was also 'demoted' from a 'Prime Minister's High Level Committee' directly underthe PMO, to merely being under the Ministry of Minority Affairs The data on prisons and armed forces reveals the worst aspect of Muslim status-the fact that they face suspicion and persecution at the hands of the State. For such data to be suppressed under communal pressure is a matter of shame for the UPAGovernment. .

.

Among the Sachar Report's exposures, the most shocking and disappointing, perhaps, is the track-record of West Bengal, which has had a three-decade uninterrupted rule of the Left Front Government led by the CPI-CPI(M). Here, Muslims share In the population is on the higher side-25.2% (around a quarter of the State's population). Yet, it has one of the lowest shares of Muslims in Government employment: just 4.2%, and also the lowest percentage of Muslims In higher positions in State PSUs: a truly amazing zero percent! The percentage of Muslims employees in key positions in the state judiciary of West Bengal Is barely 5%. .

This data raises disturbing questions, because even though no outright communal violence occurred,justice for Muslims has not meant safeguards against discrimination nor the right to dignity, employment, education and economic progress. As a senior member of the Sachar Committee has commented, "States like West Bengal have provided physical security to Muslims or states like Biharand UP have politically empowered the backward .

castes, including Muslims, but this isn't translating to a level playing field when it comes to jobs oreconomic progress." .

In riots everywhere, we have seen how the economic bases of Muslim survival are the first to be attacked-be itthe shops IfAhmedabad or the weavers' looms of Mau. In States ruled by 'secular' and 'progressive' forces like the Congress. SP and CPI(M). such violence is not always brutal and physical -the economic bases of survival are attacked through systematic discrimination and denial instead. .

It 1s no surprise that the same Governments of Congress, SP, and even tl'le CPI(M) not only discriminate against Muslims tn the matter of jobs and judiciary -they also reinforce the "communal common sense" of hostility and suspicion against Muslims, branding them as "anti-national". The latest instance is that ofNandigram where, again. the primary basis of Muslim survival in the State -agnculture-IS being snatched away. Here, Muslim peasants protesting against eviction were branded as ''communal" by the ruling CPI(M). .

Today, the BJP is trying to whip up communal sentiment agatn st implementation of the Sachar Committee recommendations. rt remains to be seen whether the UPA Govt. succumbs to this pressure and condemns the Sachar recommendations to the fate met by the Gopal Singh Comm1ttee Report of 1983. .

The whole nat1on must, without bias, confront the find1ngs of the Sa char Report, and implement all its recommendations with an open mind In particular, we in JNU must take an extra 1n1t1ative to ensure that the Sachar Report's recommendations relating to education are streamlines and implemented. The Sachar report has recommended recognising Madarsa degrees for defence, civil and banking exams -In JNU too, we must make sure these degrees are recognised In the BA 1st year itself. Further, the Sachar Report has demanded a 1000 crore allocation for the Maulana Azad Education Foundation. This demand Is welcome and should be met by the Government without delay -but It Is Important that this allocation should be backed by a detailed, concrete plan, including scholarships for all Muslim students. The MHRD and UGC should come out with a scheme of scholarships for Muslim students on the lines of the Rajiv Gandhi scholarship for SC/ST students. .
