The objective ofthe Marxist praxis is to eliminate class hierarchies and the obstacles to human freedom. A.
system of exclusion and deprivation, as the one that we live in today, blocks human freedom and full emanripation.
of human capabilities. It does so not only by keep1ng the majority from resources and husy in earning only.
sustenance but most emphatically through hegemon ising the minds of people and making them accept the order as.
a just one. Class consciousness among the working class challenges class hierarchies through breaking the.
hegemony of system's logic) system's rule of the game. Knowledge is considered as enabling (in the context of.
Yarious sectional, local, and issue based campaigns) the development of class-consciousness i.e. the awareness of.
capitalist social relations and consequently the realization ofthe need to transform capitalism int.o socialism..
Marx differentiates between class membership and class consciousness. Social distinctions first take the.
form of ·classes' in capitalist society, because only in this case is membership of social groups determined solely.
by the ownership ofthe means ofproduction. In India the order ofcastes. historically, has been superimposed upon.
differences in the ownership of means of production. The system of property relations remains hidden behind thestructure of castes which harmonizes fairly v~.
:ell with the system of property relations only so long as landremained the most important means of production. But caste consciousness is fundamentally distinct from class.
conscipusness. Membership ofa caste is as a rule hereditary, and it is clearly apparent from the ascribed rights andprivileges or exclusion there from. Class membership, however. depends upon becoming aware ofone's positionwithin the production process. Hence it often remains concealed behind the caste system..
The emergence of class consciousness in the bourgeoisie and the proletariat is a consequence of the.
increasingly political struggle of the oppressed \\ ith the ruling classes of the previous system. Marx, however.recognizes the difficulties in the development of class consciousness posed by the existing norms and organization.
of the society wherein the oppressed classes by using their \'Oting rights to subjugate themselves to ruling elite.
instead of establishing themselves in a revolutionary way as the dominant class. The political mobilization alongthe caste lines in India can be seen in a similar \\·ay. .
The formation of class, as Marx has emphasized. is a typical phenomenon of capitalism. Therefore theprocess of formation ofclass must change with the changing nature ofcapitalism. Knowledge. in tOday·s politicaleconomy. has become as significant as labour po,,er in Marx·s analysis of capitalist society. Like labour pO\\·erknowledge too has a dual nature of being a commodity as well as a means of producing other commodities. In this.
-.
context the demand for reservation in institutes of higher education must be seen as a mobilization to become amember of the new working class. Today, those \\ ho are excluded from the higher education are ..unskilled" andthus not the part of'ne"" labour force' .
. The demand for reservation is a reflection ofthe understanding that they arepoor and excluded because they don't have access to education. Once they become the part of 'ne\\ labor force·they \\0uld realize that their misery is intrinsic to the political economy of capital. Only thr.n. tney would becomeaware of their class, which is hidden behind caste today. Therefore it is a historical moment for those im·oh·ed inclass politics. in whate\·er form, to support and associate themselves with not only this mobilization of differentcaste groups but any political mobilization based on various social fom1ations fighting for their rights and dignity.Also, they must engage in a dialogue with them to have them realize that the misery is intrinsic to the capitalism and nobody can escape from it unless there is a situation where there is no exclusior1, no oppression. Thereforewhat is needed today is solidarity with and among all those groups fighting for their rights and dignity be it dalit.
groups or women groups or displaced peopJe or so many others. .

Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union .
The JNUSU held a council meeting today (Sep 28, 2008). The schedule for the.
School GBMs was decided at this meeting. The schedule is as follows:.
.
Sep 30 .
SIT: 10 am SBT: 10am SIS: 11 am .
October 3 .
SLS:10am SES: 10 am Sanskrit Centre: 10 am SSS: 11 am .
October 6 .
SAA: 10am SPS: 10am SC&CS: 10.30 am SLL&CS: 11 am .
We request the councillors and the convenors of all the schools to cooperate and.
ensure that the process of conducting the GBMs and forming the JNU Election.
Committee is completed in due time. .
The schedule for the GBMs was finalised by the JNUSU office bearers after.
consultations with all convenors who were present at the council meeting, Other.
.
convenors present in JNU had also been telephonically consulted about the schedule..
Also the important festival dates have been kept in consideration. It is however.
unfortunate that a particular organization has chosen to raise baseless questions on.
the way the schedule was finalised. The process of election of the EC members for.
the next JNUSU elections, which can only be done through these annual GBMs,.
cannot be unrealistically postponed as desired by this organisation. .
.
The irony of the demand of this organisation that schedule of the annual SchoolGBMs be left to the convenors is heightened by the fact that the both of the twoSchool Convenors (SSS-convenor and the SAA-convenor), who belonged tothis organisation, have left the country for higher studies abroad. None ofthem had even bothered either to resign or inform the JNUSU council and the.
JNUSU President or even the JNU student community about their permanentleaving of the University. As a consequence, Convenor.
's Reports for SSS and.
SAA cannot be placed this year in the annual GBMs of these schools. Had the leaving.
of these convenor's been reported in time, then at least SSS, which has more than.
.
one Councillor, could have elected a new Convenor. Such disappearance of elected.
representatives without informing the student community is highly undemocraticand irresponsible and violative of JNUSU constitution. .
JNUSU is duty bound to complete the annual School GBMs where convenor.
's keeptheir reports and EC members are elected for next JNUSU election. JNUSU urges all.
councillors and convenor's to co-operate and ensure successful completion of theprocess. .

'RE TIONS' OR SELLING OUT.
OF JNUSU·CONSTITUTION.
.
20th September 2011 UG~M gave a resounding mandate rejectingLyngdoh in toto in any form. But according to ABVP, AISA, AISF, NUSI, SFIthat .UGBM was unconstitutional because it doesn't 'suit' their 'agenda' of bringing Lyngdoh. DemeaningJNUSU Constitution and students' community they walked off the UGBM. If they had the guts, they should.
have put their resolution after the debate and seek the mandate of the student community. But instead, theychose to run away as they knew the mood of the student community was to continue the UGBM. Rnally, theEC continued the UGBM as per the JNUSU Constitution..
Betraying student community has been the history of these renegades, the Lyngdoh supporters. It isnoteworthy that for some of these orga~izations Lyngdoh committee recommendations are 'progressive' . Itwould be a historical mistake to expect from these organizations, apologists of parliamentary democracy, to.
uphold JNUSU Constitution and fight against Lyngdoh. They cannot, as all these organizations are contesting.
elections under Lyngdoh in other universities..
True to their politics, bypassing the mandate of the last UGBM these organizations went ahead fornegotiations with Gopal Subramaniam and now claiming to have brought 'relaxations'. They are ready to.
conduct elections under these 'relaxations'. These much hyped relaxations are nothing but mere eyewash.
and a tool to spread confusion. It is an open invitation to the State (administration) to interfere in our campus,in our student union. It is a death warrant for the progressive student movement..
More so it is very clear that any relaxation calls for amendment in JNUSU Constitution, even if it is for.
an interim period. JNUSU Constitution gives full autonomy to the Election Committee, but if elections are heldwith these so called relaxations, the EC will not have that autonomy. Not only that but also there will be aGrievance Cell constituting administration, faculty and student.JNUSU Constitution does not have any clause that debar any student from contesting elections butelections under these 'relaxations' for the interim period definitely debar students on many grounds --'merit',age... Not only that no organization will be able to invite speakers from outside campus for its publicmeetings. Even the agenda of the public meetings must not be 'anti national'. Here it is noteworthy that forState people's movement which is waging war against casteism, communalism, patriarchy and other forms of.
repression is 'anti-national'. The people's struggle for their Jai-Jangal-,Zameen is 'anti-national', the fight of.
self determination of different nationalities is 'anti-natjonal' for the State. And if Lyngdoh comes, in the nameof curbing these 'anti-national' the voice of struggle, the voice of dissent, the voice of solidarity will berepressed. .
In this background, today's UGBM necessarily should have been an E-UGBM. This question wasraised within the Joint Struggle Committee, but it was bypassed and the call for an ordinary UGBM wasgiven. Since it was clear to these organizations that any interim elections under Lyngdoh will call foramendment in JNUSU Constitution, they are spreading confusion and hiding this fact from student.
community. They know that if students are made aware of this fact of tampering the JNUSU Constitution,they will vote against it. We appeal to the student community to be vigilant during the UGBM as theseorganizations in the leadership of AISA-SFI will try to sabotage the JNUSU Constitution. They will create.
confusions, rumors. We appeal all the progressive students to stand against any resolution that calls forelections under relaxation..
SFR declares that it will boycott any election held in Lyngdoh (fully or partiaJiy). We want elections, but.
under JNUSU Constitution. .
For us JNUSU is a site of struggle unlike parliamentary elections. And any.
deviations, be it in the form of 'relaxations' or elections under 'Joint Struggle Committee' is to undermine .ourUnion. It will be a betrayal with the revolutionary struggles we have led under the banner of JNUSU. It will bebetrayal with the martyrdom of Com. Nabeen Babu and Chanrdrashekhar. Reject Lyngdoh in toto, reject anypuppet and proxy union. Stand for JNUSU. Reclaim our union. Uphold JNUSU Constitution.SFR'S RESOLUTION FOR TODAY'S UGBM"This house upholds the 20th September 2011 UGBM mandate of rejecting Lyngdoh in toto andrejects any interim election under Lyngdoh with so called relaxations and appeals to initiate theprocess of JNUSU Elections under JNUSU Constitution" .

Sbangthen the Struggle for Students' Representation in JNU's Decision-Making Bodies!.
Unite For a Socially Sensitive and Democratic JNUI.
.
The ongoing agitation has forced the Administration toconcede several of the demands on theStudents' Charter: including those relatingtoenhanced library and sports facilities, aswell as adeadlineof 15 October for allotment of Lohit-Loni Hostel. and SR, TR. NR status forfreshers who are yet to get hostels. The VC has also committed to write a strong letter to the UGC demandingfundsfor enhancing the MCM.
amount. But despite this assurance, we must not relaxour pressure on thisissue until the MCMamount is actually enhanced..
However, the Administration has outright refused to concede the crucial demands ofstudent representationin AC, Board of Studies and.
Grievance Redressal Mechanism, and this is the main issue on which the JNUSU is continuing on an indefinite hunger strike..
Why Should Students Have Elected Representation in Decision-Making Bodies?.
The AcademicCouncllts the highestbody where policy-level decisionson all academic matters are taken. It is this body whtch dec1deswhat courses w111 be introduced, what ruleswill govern academics, and the fee structure of various courses.Itis students who studythe courses and syllabi;Rules and regulations affect students most;And ofcourse, students are the ones who pay fees.The University, after all, exists mainly forstudents.Why, then, shouldn't students have a say in deciding matters likecourses, rules and fees, which affectthem most?.
Student Representation in AC is Necessary to Oppose Commercialization and SaffronizationAt a time when privatization and commercialization threatens higher education in India, Universities are alwayslooking for ways to.
impose these policies on students. The AC is the place where proposals offee hikes, self-financed, highly priced courses andother.
formsof pnvatization will be introduced. Students' presence in the AC will ensure thatthe studentcommunity is not kept in the.
darkabout these proposals -so, the demand for student representation in AC etc... is in fact a demand forthe rightto inf~rmation..
But, more importantly, it is also ademand forthe rightto participation in decision-making.Student representatives can argue inthe AC against fee hikes and commercialized courses, thus making sure that the University cannot take such anti-student steps overruling.
students' opinions. .
In the past fewyears, we saw the threat of saffronization, too, knock at JNU's doors. The AC and Board of Studies are the bodies whereanysaffronized, communal orobscurantist Centre, orcourse of study will have to be passed in order to become a part of JNU curriculum. So,itis crucial thatstudent representatives voice theirvigilant resistance to anysuch saffronized courses in JNUmaking bodies. 's decision-.
Student Representation Is A Must For Unbiased Grievance Redressal.
Teachers, supervisors etc... have power over students. As aresult, students are at a disadvantage when faced with unfair marking,.
victimization, or harassment by teachers. Grievance Redressal can be effective and unbiased only when students too participate in theprocess. So. student representation in the Grievance Redressa! Committee is necessary if students' grievances arereally to getjustice.JNU Act Provides forStudentRepresentation in AC and 8oS,.
Why is the VC Scared of Restoring These Rights?.
The JNU Act of 1966, in Statutes 15 and 18, clearly provides for elected student representation in ACas well as Board of Studies..
Elections to AC were held in1974. However, these rights have been curtailed ever since the Emergency. In 1976, the JNU Actwas.
amended to exclude JNUSU representation in AC, but the provision for direct election of students to AC was retained,with theclause of.
minimum CGPA added. No elections to AC have been held since, though the student movement has demanded the removal of the CGPAclause and membership of JNUSU inAC, in addition to restoration of elected student representation..
Why is the VC bent on continuing this violation of the JNU Acr? Why is he scared of re-implementing the Statutes of the JNUAct, and.
restoring students' democratic rights of parucipation in decision-making?Clearly, student representation in AC and other bodies, will make itdifficultto introduce anti-student policies likecommercialization and privatization, and todeny studentsjustice incases ofvictimization. This is whythe VC wants toavoid.
it at all costs. And this why we muststruggle to restore these rights, notjustfor ourselves, butforfuture generations of.
students in this University. .
Friends, 9 students are on their second day of indefinite hunger strike, while a 10thhasjoined ittoday. Several common.
students are dailyjoining the relay hungerstrikein solidarity with the struggle.Yet, the Administration and VC have turned.
a blind eye to the students on hungerstrike..
"A big bang isneeded to make thedeaf hear''!.
Friends,with our participation intomorrow's massive protest demo at 3.00 pm at the Ad. Block,let usmake sure that the deaf Administration.
.
is forced to heed our voice. .
