from the student and teacher community. Known literary figures like Arundhati Roy, Rajendra Yadav and Rameshwar Rai have joined us to explore the humanitarian notion of love and challenging the legitimacy of hate and social discrimination. .
AISA along with other democratic organizations have steadfastly resisted and protested against the repeated communally motivated vandalism and violence by ABVP in the campus targeting the History Department, public meetings and book exhibitions. .
Against Fee Hike and Commercialisation in Campus: The circular from the Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) dated 12 September 2009 came as an assault on student rights and the very idea of an affordable and quality education. Through the proclamation of 100 days reform, the MHRD has promised a revolutionary change in education policy. In keeping with these reforms, the central government has issued a circular calling for a mandatory 15% cut in budgetary allocations to Universities and higher learning. The circular even states that resources will not be provided for basic necessities like books, libraries, seminars, messes and laboratories! Universities and Colleges have been directed to increase student fees to meet these costs and extract user charges for hostels, electricity and water from students. It is evident that the intention of these reforms is to free the State from any responsibilities towards education and transfer it all into the hands of the private corporations. As a result, students from deprived backgrounds will now be deprived of education through this well-calculated move. These intentions are clearly reflected in the Right to Education Bill 2008 in its present form. In the wake of the fee hikes and fund-cuts in higher education, AISA organized a MASS HUNGER STRIKE on 27 28 October 2009, demanding roll back of hike in examination fees and increased utility charges and a genuine right to education. A signature campaign was also carried out in this regard, which saw commendable support from the student community. .
Fighting against the backdoor entry of foreign money into academics and supporting the struggle to overthrow the European study centre from the Sociology Department, AISA registered its protest along with other progressive forces in the campus. .
The increase in bus and metro fares in the past few months has been a major concern for students commuting on a daily basis in buses and metro. In this regard, AISA undertook a signature campaign, demanding the reduction of the fares and introduction of a students metro pass and validation of the bus passes in the private buses as well. As part of this campaign, AISA organized a demonstration, a road blockade and formation of a human chain in front of the Delhi University metro station. .
For Democratic Decision Making in the University: The implementation of the Semester system in Delhi University has been a matter of serious concern. The Vice-Chancellor of Delhi University has decided to implement the semester system from the academic session starting July 2010. This is a decision he has taken in spite of Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) unanimously opposing this move. The DUTA has pointed out the increased difficulties that the semester system would bring about without addressing current infrastructural problems. However, bypassing all opposition the Vice chancellor is bent upon to implement the semester system without considering the existing inconsistencies. Appealing to the student community and all democratic and progressive forces to come out against this undemocratic imposition of the semester system and to ensure quality and inclusive education in DU, AISA organized a Public meeting on 5 March 2010. An intensive discussion on the pros and cons of proposed framework of semester system ensued between students and members of the teaching fraternity. .
For a Democratic, Secular and Egalitarian India: During the last few years, AISA has undertaken numerous other campaigns on the level of the campus and society through public meetings, protests and demonstrations. When chauvinistic forces attacked north Indian students appearing for exams in Maharashtra or when Indian students were being racially targeted in Australia, it was AISA, which raised the banner of revolt. AISA has resolutely campaigned against the govt policy of SEZ, corporate grab of land and resources and forced eviction of peasants and tribals. When Israel launched attacks on Palestine, AISA protested against this imperialistic war. We launched a massive Chattra Adhikar Abhiyan against the virtual emergency imposed in campuses through the Lyngdoh Committee Recommendations. .
Ideology: .
All India Students Organisation (AISA) was formed in 1990. From the outset, it has defeated the communal politics in its bastions at Kumaon University, Allahabad University, and BHU. Opposing fee hikes, privatization and commercialisation of education; standing against communal hate mongering, patriarchy, caste atrocities, regional chauvinism, anti-people economic policies, working towards the basic rights of education and employment these are all central to the agenda of AISA. AISA emphasizes solidarity of the students movement with the struggles of the working class, especially with the revolutionary peasant struggles in our country. It integrates itself with all democratic movements of the Indian people. It is in keeping with these principles that AISAs leader and two-time president of JNUSU, Comrade Chandrasekhar went to work among the rural agrarian poor in Siwan in Bihar. There, the hired henchmen of the RJD MP Shahabuddin murdered him. We are committed to upholding the revolutionary inheritance of Bhagat Singh and comrade Chandrashekhar. .
All across the world today, students and young people are out on the streets agitating against anti-people economic policies and imperialist wars. They are saying, Another world is possible for our dreams. AISA is the name of one such revolutionary movement which has arisen in campuses throughout the country to struggle for A new country and a new world. .
AISA urges you to join its relentless struggle to fight for the rights of the students and for the people as a whole. Che Guevara writes: .
If you tremble with indignation at every .
injustice then you are a comrade of mine .

SOUTH INDIA - GANGAIKONDACHOLAPURAM
Gangaikondacholapuram, 70 km from Tanjavur (Tamil Nadu), is a former capital of the Chola Empire built by King Rajendra I around 1025 to commemorate his victory over the Palas of Bengal and the Ganga dynasties of the East.
Its name means ‘The city of the Chola who brought back the water of the Ganges’ and refers to the legend of its foundation: it is said to have been built to commemorate victories in Bengal, with Rajendra ordering the sacred water of the Ganges to be transported to his new capital, where he had a huge reservoir built to store it.
The city survived until the 13th century, when it was destroyed by the Pandyas of Mysore. Only the Bradishvara temple remains today.
The structure of the Bradishvara temple at Gangaikondacholapuram makes it one of the most emblematic of South Indian Dravidian architecture. It is one of the most complete temples of the Chola period, and its sculpture is also remarkable.
This architecture is characterised by very large temples with immense portal towers or Gopurams. The entrance portal, which in this case has lost its gopuram, is followed by a large statue of the bull Nandi, wearing a collar and facing the sanctuary, which is followed by a small Nandi, blackened by offerings.
The heart of the sanctuary, square in plan, is surmounted by a pyramid-shaped tower called the Vimana, with increasingly smaller storeys. Here, the sanctuary rises to a height of 52 m, with a base measuring 32 m on each side.
A remarkable monument.
