NENEl\1 MISAO for Student Representative, Gender Sensitization Com .
Against Sexual Harassment (GSCASH) .
.
Friends. .
The Gender Sensitization Cmrunittee Against Sexual Harassment (GSCASH) has been an institution 111 the JNU ' .
campus sine\.! 1999. Based on Supreme Court guidelines set out in Vishaka vs. State ofRc~jasthan. 19(}7 for the .
pre\ ention and deterrence of sexual harassment in the workplace, the GSCASH, as a body dealing '' ith cases or .
sexual violence, is rare in India. The autonomy of such a. space needs to be guarded while simultaneously .
.
strent,rthcning its punitive aspccf .
R EDRESS A!\'D GSCASH .::.. .
Har=:tssment happens in an em ironment \Yhere the complainant is vulnerable to the defendant" s hierarchical!) I .
superior position. Sexual harassment of women. for example, operates within a patriarchal order ''here pm\ cr .
.
' .
imbalaHces in favour of men operate all the time. Within such a social order a body dealing with sexuaI violence needs to be given enough power and authority to ensure that the laws and procedures guarantee justice and proper 1 punishment. .
There have been several examples of complaints lodged in the GSCASH where the punishment in no \\ay suited .
the crime. The limitations of a recommendatory body need to be recognised as those limitations determine the .
Jc, cl of JUStice that can be achieYed: Bear in mind, GSCASH cannot punish harassers: it can on!) recommend .
pumshment. the Administration has the final say regarding what punishment. if any, is actually inflicted! For .
exampk. in a recent case the complainant ended up leaving the can1pus. her life completely disrupted. "hi le the .
defendant remained on campus suffering only minor penalties. In addition, abuses of the Amicahlc: .)'ettlernent .
.
clause within GSCASH need to be curtailed. .
SENSITIZATION AND GSCASH .
In addition to redress, sensitization is also an important responsibility of GSCASH. However~ sensitization must .
be vie,ved within a larger context. The struggle for gender equality should not be limited to the intemalisation of .
.
respect for individual space: gender equality can only be achieved when the structures of power within ''hich \\e .
II\~ :-~r~ fundJment=:tll~ altered. Furthcm1ore, sensitization alone will not eliminate harassment. .
As J space to address gender issues at an institutional level, the functioning of the GSCASH. it can be argued. is .
largely ~ased on politi~s.: wh~reas, gender is polit~caL It is important to m~ke.this distinction.. . . 1 .
.
Gender tssues are pohttcal 1f only because patnarchy enforces and mamtams the boundanes of mascullmt~ and femininity and sexual identities. \Vithin JNU, where spaces for addressing these issues have been attach:d. the le\ el of gcnd~r insensitivity in campus is unacceptable. Similarly, the homophobia and the inadequate response to it by campus organisations have raised questions as to the progressive and political nature of the campus community. Gender repression does not operate in isolation; it intersects with other fom1s of exploitation in its ! anempt to subjugate very specific members of society. .
CAMPUS AGENDA .
At a practical, 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 when there arc other medical .
specialists available at the health centre. In addition, counselling services regarding sexuality and se~ual 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 \\Omen security personnel can to an extent make a change for the \Yomen when reporting incidents of .
se~ual assault and harassment. Sensitization programs need to be designed and extended to include our campus .
security. An effecti\'e system of crisis management by the GSCASH and the campus security sen ice that is both .
gender sensitive and prompt is needed. Finally. making GSCASH as transparent a body as possible by increasing .
1ts int~raction v>ith students .
.
These are some of the issues J intend to highlight in the coming year if elected to the GSCASH. Kind!~· support .
my campa1gn. .

Yours truly, Nenem Misao (PhD 34 semester, CSSS) .

notedJournalist, presently with Hard News .
The Iraq War waged by US-UK military forces introduced the concept of the 'embedded' reporter to the world. These reporters, who accompanied the US Army at every stage of the war, gave the Pentagon in Washington extraordinary control of war reports back home, and also allowed the military to quietly contain those journalists who wanted to report the war independently. A direct result of this embedded journalism: the myth of the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction' went on unchallenged for a long time in the mainstream US media. Civilian deaths, injuries and the chaos in the streets were carefully swept under the carpet, and the American people were told that the 'grateful' Iraqis really saw the invaders as their 'messiahs'! .
Embedded journalism might not exist in the same crude form in India. But the fact of the matter is that almost all the major newspapers and television channels are owned and controlled by huge corporate houses and more often than not function as th~ unofficial mouthpieces ofthe powers-that-be -whether it is the government and various state agencies or corporate houses. The media coverage of Parliament House attack in December 2001 (an event which even after so many years of 'investigation' raises more questions than answers) was ample proof of this. Within hours of the attack, all media channels and newspapers were faithfully parroting the Delhi Police's version of the event as 'incontrovertible evidence'. For instance. with a shameful disregard for facts or for unbiased reporting. DU Prof. SAR Geelani was subject to a public trial and immediately convicted by the media as a dreaded 'terrorist'. It took a long and sustained campaign to prove that there was not a scrap of evidence against Prof. Geelani (who was subsequently released). Prof. Geelani's ordeal is no exception. Almost immediately after every bomb blast, the media enthusiastically nails the 'culprits', who often tum out to be completely innocent. .
.
: The mainstream media's coverage of people's movements against displacement and corporate land grab, or of state-sponsored terror campaigns like the Salwa Judum in Chhattisgarh similarly reeks of a shameful bias. Take for instance the 'Operation Green Hunt'-the recent military offensive launched by the UPA government on the tribals living in the mineral-rich areas of the country. This offensive comes close on the heels of similar (and still continuing) Salwa Judum experiment in .
Chhattisgarh, which has been described as the 'biggest grab oftribal lands after Columbus' by nothing less than the 'Committee on State Agrarian Relations and Unfinished Task of Land Reforms' of the Ministry of Rural Development. Even after the Operation Green Hunt is clearly underway -with several arrests, detentions and deaths-ALL the major newspapers and media channels report (with practically NO skepticism) Home Minister Chidambaram's pathetic and shameful 'denial'! As facts on the ground challenge this 'denial', the mainstream media lets Chidambaram get away with blatant lies. .
.
Nor have we forgotten how many major newspapers (the Indian Express in particular) decided to practically run campaigns in favour of the Sardar Sarovar project and its corporate sponsors even while thousands of dam-displaced people thronged the streets of Delhi protesting against their displacement and non-existent 'rehabilitation' (compensation and rehabilitation for those displaced was incidentally mandated by a Supreme Court directive). Whenever there are massive protests in Delhi, and thousands of people arrive in the capital demanding justice, the'newspapers think it fit to report on the massive 'traffic jams' caused by the protesters, and the 'inconvenience' caused to .

The StudentsUnitedShallllwavsbeVlctorlousn Friends, We congratulate the student community on the successful agitation waged in SSS under the leadership of JNUSU-.
SSS. In the course of this 11 day long Relay Hunger Strike that was held outside SSS, a range of demands on the SSS Charter have been addressed. Several of our demands have been fulfilled and on others, concrete $teps have been taken which until the past week had remained mere promises. With progress on our demand for more computers being made today in a meeting with the Rector, we conclude our agitation on this note of success. A loud and clear message has been sent to the School and University authorities that they students of this mere assurances, promises and committees when it comes to their.
campus will not be satisfied with demands. .

Pr~vision of Better S~nita~ion Facilities: The administration has failed to provide clrJan and hygienic sanitation facili~iesfor the students. espec1ally In SSS-1. They are not disabled friendly due to lack of proper entrances and easily access1ble~ashrooms: Wo~en students are also facing difficulties due to unhygienic conditiom;. There should be provision for STdispensers In lad1es bathrooms and hand-wash and soaps, in general. This has to be addressed on an immediate basis..
.
Library lss~es: Despite the increase in the strength of students, the number of books available in the Central library h~sseen a dechne. In the Centre-specific libraries as well there is a shortage of books and other reading materials. There 1salso no provision of issuing and lending of books. In SSS there are students who come from various parts of the country.The administration should be sensitive in ensuring that students have access to books in regional languages to help them.
cope with the rigorous academic work in their initial days. Key reading materials should be made available in centre-specific libraries and their number of copies must be increased. M.Phil dissertation and PhD thesis should be madeaccessible to students in centre specific libraries. The timings of both, centre specific libraries and photocopy shop shouldbe extended. .
The Helen Keller Unit in the Central library is not adequately equipped to address the needs of the differently abledstudents. Books and reading material should be separately made available for them..
Computer Centre Facilities: There are not adequate computers at the school level. In certain centres such as CESP andCHS most computers do not work. Other centres like CPS and CSSS do not even have separated computer labs. This hasto be rectified and upgraded facilities should be made available. Permanent technical staff should be appointed for theregular maintenance and upkeep of these labs. The timings of the GIS lab in CSRD must be extended. Better and updateddata sources should be provided for all the students. Also, a scanner should be purchased for the School Computer Lab,which is easily accessible to students. .
The computer centres in SSS are not disabled friendly and software pertaining to their needs, like JAWS, must be installedimmediately. .
_.
Time Bound Completion-of SSS Annexure Building: With the increase in number of students in SSS there has not b~.
an adequate expansion of basic infrastructure. In the light of shortage of classrooms in SSS the annexure building hasl>be completed in a time bound manner and with a concrete deadline..
.
Academic Programmes: NIESP and POSE were initiated by the SFI-AISF councillors in 2005. However, regular coursesneed to be introduced to encourage students to undertake research in issues pertaining to the North-East and SociallyDiscriminated Groups. The Women Studies Programme should provide more courses. Furthermore, these programmes.
should be converted into full-fledged centres. Efforts to initiate a SSS level iournal should be strengthened by thecouncillors in consultation with the faculty and SFCs. .
Enhancing the Duration and Amount for Field Trips: The students of CSMCH and CHS have j,eir field trip expensesreimbursed through contingency. This practjce must be stopped and instead, separate funding should be provided. It isimportant that both the duration and amount granted for Field Trips be increased. ,. . .
Upgradation and Proper Maintenance of Common Room: SSS Common room has been lyir.g unuse:i for many years. ' It has to be renovated and opened for the students. Also, First-Aid box should be kept in order to deal with some medicalemergency. .
Ensure Transparent Dissemination of Information on Seminars, Exchange Programmes and MoUs:A permanentnotice board should be in place in both the SSS buildings to regularly update students about ongoing and upcomingseminars and conferences. At present there is no co-ordinated way of furnishing information with regard to exchangeprogrammes happening w1th different universities as well as the MoUs signed with them. There should be a provision ofpublicly displaying this information in different centres of SSS. .
Establishing a School-level Career Guidance Bureau: For the dissemination of relevant information with regard tointernships and placement opportunities available, a School-level Career Guidance Bureau has to be established..
Recording of Lectures and other provision for Differently Abled Student:-;: At prese1t, thr.rf is no uniformarrangement in place for recording lectures for the differently abled students. This provision has tcbe restored on a prioritybasis. The school should create a pool of volunteers for reading and writing for the differently abled studer.ts..
Display of Important Information: All the relevant information like different helpline numbers, GSCASH, numbers ofambulance, nearby hospitals, security officials, etc should be put on public display on the school as well as centre noticeboards. .

"Procedure followed by ....JNU and the stand of the ... Union of India (UOI) regardmg reservation for OBCs is thus declared to be bad ... The policy adopted by the ...UOI & JNU amounts to the Executive taking away what the legislature has gi11en to the OBCs. The same cannot be pemutted to happen. The Act cannot be permitted to be used as a mode of making more seats available to the General (Unreserved) category than before; that was not the intent of the Act... " .
-Delhi High Court judge Rajiv Sahai Endlaw, in his recent verdict on OBC reservations .
, .
Two days back. the Delhi High Court reaffirmed what the progressive sections of the entire JNU ~ommunity and beyond have been reiterating for the past two years: that JNU has been wilfully denying admission to several OBC students tt10ugh ils patently lllegaf, illcgical, casteist interpretation of the cut-off criterion for OBC students. thus scuttling the proper imple-mentation of the OBC Reservation Act. The verdict could not more explicit -it clearly accuses the JNU administra-tion as well as the MHRD for 'defeating the very purpose' of the Act. .
Today. JNU stands shamefully ind1cted by the Delhi Hrgh Court for scuttling soc1al JUStice. Nothing could be more appall1ng for an Institution that prides rtself for 1ts commitment to socral JUStice. The question now arises: who should take responsibilfty for making OBC reservations in JNU 'illusionary' (as the judge correctly put it)? .
The answer is crystal clear. Dunng the past two years. the student community has several times brought this issue to the notice of no less than the Vrce Chancellor of JNU Every single offrcial rn charge of the admrssions process in the JNU adminrstration rs well aware of the objections repeatedly raised by JNUSU and the student community. Several faculty members had written to the VC way back in 2009 when the admrssions for the academ1c year 2009-10 were still going on, appealing to him to take note and correct the gross anomalies and illegalitres inherent 1n JNU s admission process. Several tnt~llectuals from outsrde JNU -rncludrng P.S. ~.rishnan former advisor to the MHRD on OBC reservations, as well as c1vil nghts activist and lawyer late K. Balagopal -al!;o pointed out (as the HC verdict has done) that JNU's position was 'bad'. .
After proJonged deliberation. JNU highest decision-making body, the Academic Council (AC) on 18 March 20 10. de-cteled to reject the Aditya Mukherjee Committee's illegal cut-off criteria. The dean's committee too. on 171/J June 2010. decided to implement the correct cut-off criteria for OBC students in keeping with the AC's overwhelming verdict. .
Despite all these efforts, the JNU administration remained adamant. And on 12 July 2010, just two days before the results were to be declared, JNU adm1nistratron shockingly overturned the Dean's committee's correct decision and reinstated the faulty Ad1tya Mukherjee committee's recommendations It is all the more appalling that the JNU administra-tion v1illingly chose to heed the 'legal op1n1on' of a lawyer representing t11e well-known antr-reservationist YFEl As the HC judgement now shows, this 'legal opinion' was clearly spurious and untenable. As a result, this year. only 15.9 of the legally mandated 27% OBC reservations were Implemented 1n JNU. For example. for the MA programme in JNU, only ~6% OBC reservation was implemented. Overall, more than 300 OBC seats have shockingly remained unfulfilled and subsequently transferred to the general category this year. .
' .
Clearly, the JNU administration has been no mere spectator: it has calculatedly acted to subvert the decision-making process in the university, bypassing even the Academic Council. The ideologrcal, casteist pr_ejudices of tile administration were so strong that it was w1111ng to disregard every sane appeal and advice 1n HS single-minded agenda to scuttle implementation or OBC reservations. ll is hrgh lime now that those responsrble for these acts of commission with the criminal scuttling of social justice be held accountable. Can we afford to have at the helm of a 'premier' institute like JNU an administration which refuses to listen to logic, which is willing to do away with constitutional provisions, and which has no regard for its own decision-making bodies and processes? .
At this juncture, the progressive sections in JNU have to come together to ensure that the JNU administration .
fully immediately withdraws the faulty cut-off criterion for OBC candidates. The full impJication of the historic HC .
verdict will have to be realised in JNU, and the OBC students who were criminally denied admission for no fault .

Implementation of Charter of Demands.
Friends,.
The inordinate delay of the SSS administration in responding to the Charter of Demands that has been submitted.
SSS students. In order to resolve these demands, the JNUSU-SSS today held a Ptotest Delno in front to the Dean four months ago has exposed its laxity and callousness towards the genuine needs and grievances of.
of SSS following which over 600 signatures demanding the immediate fulfilment ofthe SSS Char+~~arnumbers..
were submitted to the Dean. We thank the student community for participating in today's demo in large.
We would like to inform the student community that there has been significant progress on two.
of the sss Demands where ithas been verbally assured:.
The Programme for North East Stud'es will start offering a course by the Winter Sen1ester ofthe.
coming academic year and has started taldng steps in this direction..
stated officially in his speech to JNU Court this year. .
.
An MA programme will be statted in the Centre for Philosophy which the Vice Chancellor has.
However, on other demands, there have been no positive responses. These demands include:.
Reglsbation for Priya; Priya is a Direct PhD student of CESP Vth Semester who has been denied regisbationby her Centre on the grounds that she did not submit her synopsis in time. However, a closer look at her case.
reveals that there are some genuine reasons why she was unable to do so. She was made to do two years of.
coursework by her guide, something which is unprecedented in the Centre and which did not allow her time to.
prepare her synopsis. After getting an extension of six months, her topic was changed which in efliect.
gave her a period oftwo-three months to prepare her synopsis, whereas every other student gets a.
period of two full years to prepare a synopsis. It is for these reasons in her case that the JNUSU·SSSdemands that she should be given registration to submit her synopsis (wt\ose presentation she has already made.
before the farulty) and continue with her Ph.D..
Computers; Whether it be computer rooms, libraries or printing, SSS students face obstades to their studies on.
every front. Computers are frequently out of order or are too few in number. Software for visually challenged.
installed in every public computer of SSS. .
students Is yet to be installed despite frequent assurances by the SSS authorities. Anti-virus software should be.
Ub£ades; Ubrary timings are in urgent need of extension in Centres like CSSS, CPS, CSMCH and.
ZHCES. In CHS, while the timings of the library have been extended, issuing Is not allowed altar 5.
pm which, in effect, negates the very purpose for which the library timings were extended. In CESP, the.
.
catalogue needs to be reorganised and a ramp should be constructed for physically handicapped students..
Printina and photocopying: The cost of printing at the cunent Rs. 2 per page is higher than even.
the market rate and should be reduced to 40p per page. Printing facility should be expanded In SSS and.
to 30 p per page. .
.
the computer rooms of SSS should each be equipped with a printer. The cost of photocopying should be reduced.
Agpdemic demands: Tool courses in order to bridge the gap between the BA curriculum and MA courses for.
incoming students should be started and reactivated where they are defunct. Remedial classes In English.
should be immediately started in CSMCH and should also be held in each Centre. The Programme for.
Women's Studies and the Programme for Studies In Discrimination and Exdusion should be made full fledged.
centres. Atool course In software/data analysis should be offered in SSS..
Judging from the response of the SSS Dean, JNUSU-SSS has decided that the time has come tD.
increase pressure on the SSS administration. Towards the aim of fulfilling the entire SSS Chaa er ofDemands, the JNUSU-SSS Is undertaking a relay hunger strike starting from tonight In ftont ofSSS.
n. We appeal to the student community to rally behind the JNUSU·SSS in the struggle for achievtng the Charter.
of Demands. .

Dr. B. R. Ambedka r exp rcssed his views on I in gu isti c states at the time of form ation of A ndh ra State. (i) He believed that .
the pride in people's language, race and culture would become a hurdle in unifying India. His primary suspicion was that .
it may lead to "insubordination" resulting in the prospect of chaos and disorder. (ii) The other fear of Dr. B.R. .
Ambedkar was that each state will have·its own language which may become an obstacle for a Central Judiciary when it .
is invoked to rectify the mistake of provisional courts. However, on the positive side, he believed that the concept of .
Linguistic Provinces ·would I ead to "social homogeneity", which he presupposes as a condition for the "effective .
.
While commenting on language as the basis for reorganization of states, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar said "the.
functioning of democracy". .
idea of linguistic province has nothing to do with the question of what should be its official language. By linguistic provinces, I mean a province which by the social compcsition of its population is homogenous and therefore, more suited for the realization of those social ends, which a democratic goverr.ment must ful ftll. !n my view, a Linguisti< Province has nothing to do with the language of the province. ln the scheme of Linguistic Provinces, language haS necessarily to play its part. But its part can be limited to the creation of the province, i.e., for the demarcation of the bound'aries of the province. There is no categorical imperauve in the scheme of Linguistic provinces, which compels .15 to make the language of the Province as its official language. Nor is 1t necessary for sustaining the cultural unity of tl" .
Provi nee, to rnak e the I an gua ge of the Provi nee its o1ftc i al.language ......" .
'Vie must not allow the Provincial language to become its ofliciai language even if it was natural that the provincial language should be the official language of the Province. There is no danger in creating Linguistic Provinces. Danger lies in creating linguistic provinces with the language of each province as its officiaUanguage. The latter would lead to the creation .of provincial nationalities. For the use of the previsional languages as official languages would lead to Provincial cultures to be isolated, crystallized, hardened and solidified. It would be fata to allow this to happen. To allow this is to allow the prc'linces to become independent nations, separate ii everything and thus open the road to the ruination of United India. In Linguistic Provinces without the language of the province being made its official language, the provincial culture would be fluid with a channel open for give and take. Under no circumstances, we must 21low the Linguistic Provinces to make their Provincial Languages their .
But Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's concrete proposal for the formati on of small states and his opposition to the.
official la nguages. model of linguistic states was expressed in 1953 in the context of the formation of the Telugu Linguistic State. He said, "in a state what would remain for the smaller comnmnities to look to? Can they hope to be elected to the legislature? Can they hope to maintain a place in the state ser,ice? Can they expect any attentioll to tlleir .
economic betterment? In these circumstances, the creation of linguistic state means the banding over of Swarai to .
a communal majority" (Time~ of India, April 23, 1953). .
On the burning issue of the time, i.e., formati on of Andhra State, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar opined: "Tak< Andhra 'there are two or three major communities spread over the linguisdc area. They are either Reddys or the Kammas and the Kaapus. They hold all the land, all the offices and all the businesses ...... " .
The experience of the 55 years of Telugu linguistic state is the proof of the co:o1pletc monopoly by the two domir.:ml Reddys and Kammas of the political power to the complete neg!ect of SCs, STs, OBCs and Minorities. The only anti· dote for this seems to be the restoration of er.;twhile Hyderabad State (Tdangana), .vhich existed as an autonomou!: f·;i''"·' .
