Shrinking Public Spaces: Challenges of Contesting Common Sense .
Friends, In most campuses, as in most of our society, political spaces are full of intimidation and violence for women who choose to enter it. In the elections in neighbouring Jamia, for instance, there is not a single woman candidate. In JNU, on the other hand, we find women participating in the public space and in politics in relatively larger numbers. This is the result of the long history of Left and democratic activism, which has carved out a space where women have been able to shape political discourse and bring the issue of gender sensitivity to the political mainstream. However, there has also been a undercurrent of gendered rumour-mongering and sexually coloured myths about women activists of the Left: most students have heard the myths about women from radical Left groups being available, being willing for group sex, and so on. The recent intensification of this trend of gendered taunts and abuse against women in the public sphere should concern us deeply. Recall incidents where women who are political opponents are branded by right-wing forces as prostitutes, and where even a Left activist can publicly call a woman a bitch and tell her to behave yourself. .
Gendered Abuse As A Political Weapon .
What is the politics of gender abuse in political life? Gender abuse as a political weapon is the polite counterpart of rape as a political weapon: both are used to silence and punish women who are either political opponents, or belong to communities/parties who are the enemy. The landmark Vishaka Judgment against sexual harassment was, after all, an offshoot of the legal activism of feminist groups around the gang-rape case of the Dalit saathin Bhanwari Devi. Women activists had argued, then, that the rape of one saathin was preceded by repeated sexual harassment and sexual threats by powerful dominant caste leaders against many saathins. Had the sexual harassment been nipped in the bud and punished, the rape that followed could have been prevented. This is not to say that gendered abuse in JNU will literally lead to rape; it is only to point to the violence and hostility that underlie gendered comments and lewd or suggestive remarks against women activists. So gender abuse cannot be taken any less lightly than any incident of violence. .
Questions of Institutions, Collective Mobilisation and Action .
How can we combat such gendered abuse and prevent it from shrinking the political space for gender and womens participation in our campus? No doubt, through collective action of the student community. The question is, what shape should that collective action take, in order to mobilise the widest section of the campus and marginalise the anti-women forces and the right-wing discourse? It would be misplaced to argue that filing a complaint with GSCASH must mean that women must give up political mobilisation or collective action. But in JNU, isnt collective action more effective when it is not limited to a small handful of individuals? Slapping ones abuser may be the desirable and necessary on the public bus, where political mobilisation is not an option. Even on campus, a slap as a spontaneous reaction of a common woman student against a sexual harasser can be understood and defended. The problem arises when it is offered as the model of collective political action by political activists. For Left women activists, is it not far more urgent to campaign widely, to mobilise students in political actions to break the anti-woman common sense, and ensure punishment for sexual abusers, rather than emphasise retaliation by a small number of people? An act of retaliation is unfortunate not because it undermines institutions like GSCASH, but because it undermines and hampers wider and more participatory forms of political mobilisation and collective action, which the student movement in JNU has evolved over time. .
Stop Pitting Gender and Caste Against Each Other .
However, we must emphasise that while we may differ with personal retaliation as a form of protest, we must not allow the issue of gender abuse to be swept under the carpet. Some hard questions need to be answered. Last nights ABVP leaflet speaks about Ritesh as though he were a common Dalit student with no political affiliations. What is the truth? Ritesh is a member of the JPF, and is close to notorious lumpens like Siddarth Rai. Since his roommate Mrityunjay belongs to the DSU, arguments or even quarrels between them are hardly surprising. But gendered abuse directed against women activists is indefensible, as is the physical assault by Ritesh against his roommate, aided by Siddarth Rai and other JPF leaders. Ritesh has alleged casteist abuse and violence by the women activists who confronted him. Any allegation of caste abuse must be enquired into, and anyone found guilty must be punished. But it would be dangerous to allow the issue of caste to silence, obscure or justify the issue of gender abuse. .

Struggle is Resistance ! .
Intensify the struggle for Gender Justice! 08.04.2012 .
.
\Vith every instance of inequality towards women, with every case of unequal wages, with each lash of moral policing, with every diktat of regressive forces such as the Khap Panchayats and with the cry for freedom and justice in Kashmir and North East. we realize the need to intensify our struggle for gender rights in all spheres oflife. The inspiration to wage these battles comes frOI]l those .
whose lives and struggles stand as a witness of their commitment towards gender justice and equality. Soni Sori, Bhanwari Devi, .
Savitribai Phule, Manorama Devi, Rosa Luxemberg, Clara Zetkin, Simone De Beauvoir and many other women, some of whom we .
have never heard of as they were left out of the media gaze while the media was preoccupied with the Arushis and Jessicas, are a living reminder that gender 'sensitization' and awareness has to include in its arena the right to free speech and movement, education and equal opportunities. It has to do much beyond that ofstopping crime. It includes the need to create a space which is equal for all, a society that does not exclude against any individual on any grounds. .
And that is why the agenda of an institution like the GSCASH while primarily serving the role ofstopping gender harassment and promoting gender equality needs to be expanded towards creating a campus which treats all genders equally. A campus where the administration's gag orders asking for women to sign before entering men's hostels, questioning women walking in campus at what seems to them 'unearthly hours', requiring visitors' to sign in guest registers to even sit in the visitors room at girls' hostels, needs to be decisively defeated. We live in a campus wher·e discrimination occurs at taken for grantedissues at everyday level in the hostel mess with allocation of food to women and men differently, where .
segregation' takes place at co ed hostel mess and where there is blatant objectification of women in cultural nights, hostel nights and fresher's party when not only songs and dances but even comments and jokes are passed around as a sign of informality and friendliness. It needs no mention that even what is portrayed as culture today is being decided heavily by the market and the media where buying certain commodities and brand is seen as sophisticated taste. ' women are repeatedly chorused and where the patriarchal.
\Vhere the role of 'good.
obsession ofwomen being disciplined and in control are repeatedly legitimized. .
.
And hence in the campus and outside we need to challenge this dominanc~ posed by the market and the media and expose their elite ill-conceived logic (much like the ~ ·Time s poll' that included murderer Narender Modi's name as one of the most influential people, only to find that even an 'anonymous' got more votes than Modi!). We need to a struggle against elitism and patriarchy simultaneously. That·behind the fa~ade of our achievements we have failed to achieve something even as basic as sanitation facilities for workers who arc That there is no basic health care available for those who are prone to injury during.
constructing our hostels and classrooms. constru£tion activities and who have to juggle between household tasks, taking care of young unattended children and do heavy physical labour, all at the same time. While we are fighting to ensure minimum wages, we need to equally recognize and demand that .
both men and women are paid equal wages for equal hours of work. The role of the GSCASH thereby needs to stand committed with the struggles ofwomen ofall sections ofsociety whose myriad struggles are ultimately a fight for equaJity, justice and dignity. .
Tying all this together, I conceive GSCASH as a site ofstruggle in all arenas. The issues of representation of women in academics .
for instance the issue of deprivation points, the availability of health and sanitation facilities for all, equal access w hostel and .
campus spaces, strengthening of punishment for offenders, and ensuring privacy of the cases pending in GSCASH, having a Photostat machine in the GSCASH office to ensure confidentiality, all ofthis are on my agenda. I am contesting as an independent candidate, who does not have any organization affiliation, as I want GSCASH to be out of political clout, where organizations use .
GSCASH as a tool to settle political scores against each other, and where women are against used as a political weapon to settle other problems. In my opinion the GSCASH representative should be equally accessible to all without any organizational interests that the .
representative has to safeguard and protect. Similarly the privacy of the individual filing GSCASH should not be compromised either .
through infrastructural problems as lack of Photostat facility in the GSCASH office, or because ofthe complicatedness of the issue .
because of political stakes. To not compromise our struggle for gender just society we need to go beyond our own individual and partisan interests to make GSCASH a progressive, non biased and effective body. .

The only SEZ AISA was interested in opposing was the one in Nandigram, as if no more SEZs are being built or opposed in other slates today. Opposing Greenhunt has become unnecessary for the AISA today, because the Left Front government in West Bengal no longer exists. Like Mamata Banerjee, who once opposed the killing of Maoist leader Azad and late·r once in power ordered the killing of another Maoist leader Kishenji herself, AISA's posturing on "G reenhunt" too is highly opportunistic.

I only cried because I was happy she had no more pain and that all the things she showed me have helped me become the man I am today... So Remember when it's rough it's a silver lining in every cloud or in this case a life boat to conquer the waves. "Don't be thankful for everything but be thankful in everything".

Benjamin West - American, 1738 - 1820
The Battle of La Hogue, 1778
West Building, Main Floor — Gallery 61
We hover low over a body of choppy water in front of several rowboats filled to capacity with light-skinned men jostling and fighting each other amid larger wooden ships in this horizontal painting of a naval battle. The water transitions from tan and pale green near us to sage green in the background. A few of the men are bare-chested but most wear a wide range of colorful military uniforms or the full-sleeved shirts of sailors. A few vignettes within the bustling, action-filled boats draw our attention. For instance, at the center of the hubbub, two men wearing white shirts lean over the stern of a crowded boat, pulling two submerged men out of the water. Three other men float nearby, only their heads peeking above the water. In the same boat, another rescuer reaches for a man in the water, while yet another has pulled an unconscious or lifeless man into his arms. That rowboat bumps into several others filled with men weilding swords, long muskets, and perhaps spears. Much of the activity swirls around two men who stand in the boats to our right. One man wearing a fawn-brown uniform with gold embellishments, a white neck cloth, and a brown hat with red feathers brandishes a sword as he seizes the shirttails of a man wearing blue. The man in blue steps into another boat and clutches the mast as he raises his own sword up over his head. With eyes and mouth wide open, he looks over his shoulder toward the man in brown. Boats to our left are also filled with men but they sit in orderly rows. One man wearing a rust-orange suit and white plumed hat holds a sword in front of his body and raises his other pointer finger. A man blows a long horn behind the standing man. Other rowboats fill the space behind these, and surround three large wooden, ornately carved and decorated ships beyond. The carved insignia of the rightmost ship looms close to us along the right edge of the canvas; boats swarm around another ship in the distance at center; and flame and smoke billow from the ship to our left.
eventeen years after Benjamin West settled in England, a London newspaper's review of the 1780 Royal Academy exhibition stated that The Battle of La Hogue "exceeds all that ever came from Mr. West's pencil." In 1692, Louis XIV of France had mounted an ill-fated attempt to return James II, a fellow Catholic, to the throne of England. In response, Britain and her Protestant allies, the Dutch, massed their fleets and engaged the enemy for five days off the northern French coast near La Hogue. Benjamin West condensed the events of the long battle into one dramatic composition that, by employing much artistic or poetic license, is largely propaganda.
Standing in a boat at the left, for instance, Vice Admiral George Rooke embodies heroic command with his upright posture and raised sword. Yet, in order to survey the maneuvers, he undoubtedly gave orders from a distance. Beached in the center distance is the French flagship, the Royal Sun. Actually burned and sunk a few days before this encounter, the Royal Sun is here deliberately refloated -- only to be run against the cliffs so that West might symbolize the French defeat. This complex, multi-figured panorama is an excellent example of West's influential early style, and of the balanced designs and carefully blended brushwork of eighteenth-century neoclassicism.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC is a world-class art museum that displays one of the largest collections of masterpieces in the world including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and decorative arts from the 13th century to the present. The National Gallery of Art collection includes an extensive survey of works of American, British, Italian, Flemish, Spanish, Dutch, French and German art.

It is a separate entity and is supported by a combination of private and public funds. Admission is free. The museum offers a wide range of educational programs, lectures, guided tours, films, and concerts.
The original neoclassical building, the West Building includes European (13th-early 20th century) and American (18th-early 20th century) paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and temporary exhibitions. The National Gallery of Art was opened to the public in 1941 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The original collection of masterpieces was provided by Mellon, who was the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury and ambassador to Britain in the 1930s. Mellon collected European masterpieces and many of the Gallery’s original works were once owned by Catherine II of Russia and purchased in the early 1930s by Mellon from the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad.
The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, Samuel Henry Kress, Rush Harrison Kress, Peter Arrell Browne Widener, Joseph E. Widener, and Chester Dale. The Gallery's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, medals, and decorative arts traces the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas and the largest mobile created by Alexander Calder.
The NGA's collection galleries and Sculpture Garden display European and American paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Paintings in the permanent collection date from the Middle Ages to the present. The Italian Renaissance collection includes two panels from Duccio's Maesta, the tondo of the Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi, a Botticelli work on the same subject, Giorgione's Allendale Nativity, Giovanni Bellini's The Feast of the Gods, Ginevra de' Benci (the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas) and groups of works by Titian and Raphael.
The collections include paintings by many European masters, including a version of Saint Martin and the Beggar, by El Greco, and works by Matthias Grünewald, Cranach the Elder, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Eugène Delacroix, among others. The collection of sculpture and decorative arts includes such works as the Chalice of Abbot Suger of St-Denis and a collection of work by Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas. Other highlights of the permanent collection include the second of the two original sets of Thomas Cole's series of paintings titled The Voyage of Life, (the first set is at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, New York) and the original version of Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley (two other versions are in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Detroit Institute of Arts).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Gallery_of_Art
Andrew W. Mellon, who pledged both the resources to construct the National Gallery of Art as well as his high-quality art collection, is rightly known as the founder of the gallery. But his bequest numbered less than two hundred paintings and sculptures—not nearly enough to fill the gallery’s massive rooms. This, however, was a feature, not a failure of Mellon’s vision; he anticipated that the gallery eventually would be filled not only by his own collection, but also by additional donations from other private collectors. By design, then, it was both Andrew Mellon and those who followed his lead—among them, eight men and women known as the Founding Benefactors—to whom the gallery owes its premier reputation as a national art museum. At the gallery’s opening in 1941, President Roosevelt stated, “the dedication of this Gallery to a living past, and to a greater and more richly living future, is the measure of the earnestness of our intention that the freedom of the human spirit shall go on.”

The original neoclassical building, the West Building includes European (13th-early 20th century) and American (18th-early 20th century) paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and temporary exhibitions. The National Gallery of Art was opened to the public in 1941 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The original collection of masterpieces was provided by Mellon, who was the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury and ambassador to Britain in the 1930s. Mellon collected European masterpieces and many of the Gallery’s original works were once owned by Catherine II of Russia and purchased in the early 1930s by Mellon from the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad.
The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, Samuel Henry Kress, Rush Harrison Kress, Peter Arrell Browne Widener, Joseph E. Widener, and Chester Dale. The Gallery's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, medals, and decorative arts traces the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas and the largest mobile created by Alexander Calder.
The NGA's collection galleries and Sculpture Garden display European and American paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Paintings in the permanent collection date from the Middle Ages to the present. The Italian Renaissance collection includes two panels from Duccio's Maesta, the tondo of the Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi, a Botticelli work on the same subject, Giorgione's Allendale Nativity, Giovanni Bellini's The Feast of the Gods, Ginevra de' Benci (the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas) and groups of works by Titian and Raphael.
The collections include paintings by many European masters, including a version of Saint Martin and the Beggar, by El Greco, and works by Matthias Grünewald, Cranach the Elder, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Eugène Delacroix, among others. The collection of sculpture and decorative arts includes such works as the Chalice of Abbot Suger of St-Denis and a collection of work by Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas. Other highlights of the permanent collection include the second of the two original sets of Thomas Cole's series of paintings titled The Voyage of Life, (the first set is at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, New York) and the original version of Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley (two other versions are in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Detroit Institute of Arts).

Andrew W. Mellon, who pledged both the resources to construct the National Gallery of Art as well as his high-quality art collection, is rightly known as the founder of the gallery. But his bequest numbered less than two hundred paintings and sculptures—not nearly enough to fill the gallery’s massive rooms. This, however, was a feature, not a failure of Mellon’s vision; he anticipated that the gallery eventually would be filled not only by his own collection, but also by additional donations from other private collectors. By design, then, it was both Andrew Mellon and those who followed his lead—among them, eight men and women known as the Founding Benefactors—to whom the gallery owes its premier reputation as a national art museum. At the gallery’s opening in 1941, President Roosevelt stated, “the dedication of this Gallery to a living past, and to a greater and more richly living future, is the measure of the earnestness of our intention that the freedom of the human spirit shall go on.”

There would be more pictures like this, but I had to go look for the dog, who reappeared after 10 minutes or so, soaking wet and frightened, further down the ravine. Goodness knows what he was up to.
another instance where i don't think the band ever really had an official logo, so this is what my logo for Alter Ego would have looked like
