When it comes to university choices, rather than focus on admissions trends, students would benefit if they interrogate institutional staff lists, biographies.
The South-regional round of the quiz was held at St Joseph’s College of Law, Bengaluru. As many as 75 teams participated from various colleges across south India.
It’s hard to build a house, run a business, or do anything without paying bribes. And yet, citizens’ anger about this open, unchecked corruption won’t erupt into Anna Hazare-type rallies.
As many as 21 policy reforms are under implementation following Invest Kerala Global Summit, as LDF govt works to change perception that the state is not conducive to businesses.
Amid continued concerns over cross-border terrorism, General Upendra Dwivedi further warned the neighbour that India will not show restraint if there is an Op Sindoor 2.0.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
Government was not alive about NRC while asking vote to prove that we are Indian or not now suddenly he statd about NRC wah it’s a just religious partiality
Question of a confused Bhakth?
Will the struggle or mass movement stop if NRC is withdrawn and CAA retained?
Or CAA is expected to withdraw?
Answer:
This fire is lit by Raavan onto Hanuman’s tail, which will burn Lanka first, then will invite Ram to defeat Raavan, then Ram will release Sita and takes her back home.
All students should join in the protest against CAA-NRC as many of their fellow Muslim students will be directly affected besides disturbing academic life of all students and future of India’s knowledge based economy. The CAA-NRC siamese twins, bills diabolical evil genius lies in what it does not mention specifically that Muslims need not apply. End effect of this will be like demonetization of citizenship…. stand in long line with documents and BJP govt will say you are not a citizens until you prove it otherwise. This may take decades until then you stay in detentions centers.
India’s freedom fighters fought for everyone’s birth rights and now Modi-Shah want to decide who is a citizen. Actions of Modi-Shah duopoly under the guidance of their ideological parents Hindu Mahasabha-RSS are like burning haystack to search a needle. Demonetization of currency notes to identficy black money lead to sending Indian economy to ICU and now demonetization of citizenship will lead to destroying Bharat, a civilizational state.
Very true. More and more people are daring to say this out loud. We need to now call for Shah’s resignation. The nation chose Modi – not Shah, but Shah has taken over and unleashed brutality.
India’s freedom fighters went to jail and died for freedom for all. Now BJP and other children of RSS, an organization that did not take part in freedoms struggle, want to murder soul of India. In the process also take citizenship of large number of people of India and thereby deny freedom this even Britisher’s did not do. This Modi &Shah govt is worse than colonial oppressive powers. Modi, Shah and RSS should remember even China couldn’t crush people’s movement in Hong Kong.
BG Tilak said “Freedom is my birthright and I shall have it!”. India’s new struggle is for “Freedom & citizenship are my birthright and I shall have it!”. Jai Hind!
It has happened before in India and elsewhere in the world, students being in the vanguard of change. I remember the late 60’s as a student in Calcutta – those were the days of Congress Raj – when young people, with idealism still not tainted by cynicism, took to the streets to protest against venality in our political system. Then again, how can we forget the student movement led by JP?
Most student movements are spontaneous, much like what we are witnessing today. It is a venting of frustration with a society that is not only suffocating their rightful aspirations but is patently unjust. It is a heady age when we shun compromises for the sake of a comfortably settled life. There is a raw energy fuelled by a deep sense of anger and anguish. Yet, if this anger is not channelized it will extinguish itself achieving very little.
So the question that comes to mind is what do the students want? Is it about CAA-NRC or some such issues, or does the frustration go deeper? Is it about our morally bankrupt power structure and ruling politics? Is it about an iniquitous society where the rich get richer with patronage while the poor are left to die? Is it is about an ossified nation run by merchants of hate peddling fake dreams? Is it about a bleak future where they will be forced to eke out a sub-optimal living in a modern day ghetto? If it is to bringing about a change then the youth needs to define that change and not succumb to some nebulous idealism. Once a goal is defined then it is that much easier to focus their energy onto the goal and pursue it relentlessly with sustained momentum. They need a leader who is not a usual suspect from one of our unscrupulous political parties but a true mentor and a reformer.
you are right Mr. Ghosh, 20’s is going to be the new 60’s – from the UK-Youth-quake in 2017 to the Greta-wave in 2019 to renewal of democratic conciousness in the USA, protests in Lebanon and Iraq, from JNU/Vemula to JMU/AMU and WAY-beyond, we have seen a beginning in the 10’s. 20’s will see all this mearge and a common fight emmerge: to save the world from the gravest threat – climate emmergency and at the same time to build a world worth saving. Jai Hind!
You are so right (not wing!) about climate change. Whenever I think of it I go into deep depression.
don’t be depressed, act! there is still time – but not much…
“Mr Yadav are you up to the challenge?” apparently he was! he got arrested. what about others here? who has marched and who has been detained or beaten?
Done and dusted. New socialist revolution to usher in the Marxist nirvana.
Of course. Just ask Jeremy Corbyn. And Hilary.
These leftist illiberal pseuds still dont get it.
Get ready for a crushing defeat at the hustings.
Hillary a leftist, commie? Great joke. World presently is going through a phase of islamophobia and extreme right orientation which is a result of deliberate propaganda by leaders of capitalism and weapon merchants to fill the void caused by end of cold war. This too shall pass and people may see through the game.
Actions and propaganda
Alas, Kanhaiya Kumar was the victim of such capitalist propaganda, losing by over 4 lakh votes — more than 40 JNUs.
Alcohol sells instantly, milk takes its time.
The movement does not need a name – it is spontaneous and it should stay that way. Loved the way everyone was reading the constitution – the Pathagadi guys were persecuted for writing it in stone, now a million voices will chant it. Even if the movement peters out now, we have seen the taboo against Modi-criticism broken, it is again respectable to be secular, again possible to be patriotic without being a Hindu-nationalist. The youth has reclaimed India from the clutches of Hindutva. Even IITians are out on the street, even Bollywood has dissenting voices. Proud to be Indian again. Jai Hind.
The writer does not seem to know the relatively recent history of student agitations. Between 1973 and 1975, students agitated against Indira Gandhi’s mis-governance, and uncontrolled inflation. Jaiprakash Narain in Bhiar and Morarji Desai in Gujarat took lead. These protests were not violent. Governments are generally at a loss when faced with peaceful protestors. The agitation spread throughout the country. In the meantime, Allahabad HC unseated Indira Gandhi and she used the occasion for imposing the infamous internal emergency on India. She gave us a taste of dictatorship, press sensor and police State. This agitation gave us political leaders like Arun Jaitley, Ravi Shankar Prasad, and even Lallu Prasad Yadav. In the criminalised state of present politics, I don’t think any future leader will emerge from these agitations.
Very difficult for bright students to get into politics and then rise. Consider the case of Kanhaiya Kumar. The RJD should have made space for him, given him a ticket. Compare his charisma to Tejaswi, Tej Pratap ki toh baat hi mat kijiye.
Could you please brief if not explain whats your definition of “bright” students? as per me one who bring a reasonable solution to an exiting problem he/she can be considered bright. Kanhaiya is just a charismatic speaker , nothing more. He is like Tejasvi surya from BJP who represent Bangalore south. He is nothing but a firebrand Hindutava speaker, nothing more. We need leaders who have ideas….no idea will be perfect…but someone has to come with reasonably good idea. Neither Left nor Right can produce such leaders. I can say Mr. Sachin Pilot is the only sensible leader as of now. Congress is in such a pathetic state because of tilting towards leftist ideology..it needs a leader who can make it a centre right again.
