This is a photograph of the wallpaper behind the headboard of the bed in the room of the second hotel in which we stayed after TheWife completed her conference. Unfortunately, this was about the most appealing aspect as the place was all but impossible to find, the bathroom was lilliputian, and worst of all there was no air conditioning. Now you may think (as we did) that not having air conditioning in a hotel when your stay takes place in the middle of winter would not be that much of an issue-HA!! It didn't take long for the temperature to shoot up well past what we usually must endure here in Bangkok (with equal humidity). We ended up having to sleep with the window open

A competition for the Observer magazine. The brief was quite unexciting but its a £1000 prize. I doubt I will win but any excuse to do a comic...

ofspeedy disbursal ofRajiv Gandhi fellowshap in the fnce of inordinate delny. When the list was out, it was again the AISA office bearers in JNUSU who emphasised thatALLSC/ST research scholars must receive this fellowship, and meticulously collected names ofall those applicants whose names did not figure in this list, forced the Administration to send a fresh petition with these names to the UGC and ensured that several of these students were included in the selection list Again, SFI office bearers never even bothered to raise the issue. .

Rs3000 and Rs. 5000 Scholarships forM Phil PhD: It is AISA office bearers in JNUSU who had been insisting that gaven the .

relative freedom that academic institutions have to decide on the cut-off date for the beginning ofthis fellowship as well as the total number ofrecipients, INU should fix an early cut-off date so as to allow maximum number ofscholars to avail the fellowship. AI SA argued this on the basis of an important UGC communique dated 31 January to the JNU VC. SFI, neither had any clue of this communique not emphasised the issue as is evident from their various leaflets and memoranda until AISA forced them to include it in the joint Charter ofDemands. .

Empowerment and democratisation ofGSCASH and Equal Opportunity Office; ln thcAC meeting of23 November immediately after the newly-elected JNUSU took charge, AI SA's JNUSU office bearers submitted a detailed note to theAC which included the demands: "Co11stltute the proposed committee 10 strengthen and democratise the Equal Opportunity Office to effectively deliver justice in complaints ofcaste abuse/discrimination." tmtf "Immediately ratify the Rules and Procedures ofGSCASif as proposed by the Ghosh Committee. Improve the functioning ofGSCASH by takiug serious steps to expedite euquiries into complaitzts so as to e1tsure time-bound justice, and also to prevent intimidation or silencing ofcomplainants. JNUSU also demands tire expansion ofthe scope of GSCASH!or seek to set up otlter meclzanisms to tackle cases ofge11der violence, including domestic violence, and offer suitable support audjustice to victims ofgendered violence . ., Ever since, a sustained pressure finally forced the Administration to constitute a Committee to look into the process ofdemocratisation ofEOO while the EC meeting of II April finally ratified t.he Rupamanjari Ghosh committee's recommendations on Rules and Procedures ofGSCASH . .

Upholding the ri2ht to protest and the pro-student character ofJNUSU in the face ofan Administrative assault: When the JNUSU President and other leaders from SFI were justifying suspensions, dissociating from the student movement and associating with the Administration, peddling a Proctorial 'Enquiry' to victimise student activists, and scuttling a student-requisitioned UGBM, it was theAISA leadership in JNUSU which upheld the pro-student character oftheJNUSU.lt was the JNUSU VPand GS from AISA who held a protest march against the suspensions, held a protest march against the scuttling of the UGBM by the JNUSU President, and stood firmly in defence of the student community's demand for a UGBM. .

Against corporate land grab against SEZs, for peasant resistance and people's movements .

In the past few years, teams of AISA activists and JNUSU Councillors and Office bearers from AISA have vtsited various arenas of people's resistance-from movements against displacement from Kashipur and Kalinganagar, to Narmada Valley and Dadri, to movements against AFSPA in Manipur; police terror on Honda Workers in Gurgaon and assault on Dalit homes in Gohana, as well as struggles for implementation ofNREGA in Darbhanga, Bihar. SFI and its JNUSU office bearers were conspicuously absent from such expressions of student solidarity against land grab and draconian laws like AFSPA, anywhere in the country. .

Naturally, when the Left peasant masses at Singur and Nandigram waged a heroic struggle against corporate land grab and SEZs and showed the entire nation the way to defeat SEZs, AISA and JNUSU office bearers elected from AISA also visited Singur and stood in solidarity with the movement at Nandigram. On that day of the Nandigram massacre on March 14, in shock and sorrov., AISA leaders in JNUSU called a Condolence Meeting at night-that was joined by Left intellectuals, individuals and citizens from across the city. .

At this juncture, one can either be on the corporate side of the SEZ fence. or the side of th~ peasant movement. The vast mass of Left workers, intelligentsia including a huge number of those who have been close to the CPI(M) .as well as students ofJadavpur, Jamia. JNU and Presidency College, have all chosen the peasants' side. SFI leaders and its leadership in the JNUSU have shamefully chosen the corporate side, and the campus has seen them mocking the deaths of the peasants of Nandigram and their struggle as they not only boycotted the JNUSU programmes on Nandigram and SEZs, but jeered and heckled those lifelong leftist intellectuals and social activists--who had the courage to speak out against the massacre of the working poor in the name of bowing to corporates. .

Reject YFE's Agenda ofI neg uality and Casteism: The corporate world through the judiciary has ganged up to scuttle OBC reservations, and Youth for Equality is desperately attempting to make political capital of such efforts. But the A IS A's campaign or 34-day hunger strike in May-June last year, as well as the various efforts on part ofAlSA's JNUSU leadership has ensured that JNU as an institution has decided to implement 27°/o OBC reservations at one go without any delay or dilution. .

Defeat the communal and anti-woman ABVP: As the UPA Government's ' Human Mask' disintegrates, and people's resentment and anger surfaces, the Sangh Parivar and BJP is quick to make political gains w1th victories in various states and an intensified communal offensive: through its communal CD in UP polls, its campaign on Hindu wonten who marry Muslim men, the Vande Mataram controversy, the Gorakhpur riots, and the campaign against minority rights in the wake ofthe Sachar Report and the Allahabad HC's communal verdict. On all these occasions, it isAISAand AlSAalone which has challenged the Sangh's and ABVP's campaign head-on, with a series oftimely public meetings and other initiatives. .

In this re-election, we appeal to the students of JNU to ensure that the along with the communal and castcist elements, the defenders of corporate land grab, SEZs and state-cadre massacre too find no place in the JNUSU. We must ensure a complete and total defeat of the pro-corporate, anti-people forces of the SFI and it parent party CPI (M). .

Ensure a resolute victory for AISA councillor candidates in SSS and SIS and strengthen the JNUSI J .... ~ -.

up pro-student, pro-worker, and pro-people movements both inside and o'- " .
