Huge Anti-Modi Student Protests Across India

Haq's Musings: ‎Massive Anti-Modi Student Protests Spreading Fast Across India

Students across India are rallying against Modi government's attacks on academic freedoms. Massive protests were triggered when the Modi government arrested Kahaiya Kumar, the student union president at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).



Universities across India are ringing with the following slogans:

"Geelani bole azaadi, Afzal bole azaadi, jo tum na doge azaadi, toh chheen ke lenge azadi! (Geelani and Afzal demanded freedom. If freedom is denied, we will snatch it!)".

"Modi ka Hindutva nahin sahenge, Modi ke Brahmangiri nahin sahenge." (We will not tolerate Modi's Hindutva oppression. We reject upper caste Brahmin domination).

Geelani is the separatist leader demanding freedom of Jammu and Kashmir from illegal Indian occupation. Afzal refers to Afzal Guru who was executed by the Indian government on trumped charges of terrorism.

Students also chanted in memory of Ishrat Jahan, a 19-year-old Muslim woman who was gunned down in Gujarat in June 2004 when the current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ran the state as its chief minister. In September 2009, Ahmedabad metropolitan magistrate called encounter fake. CBI , India's federal investigating agency, did not find link between her and LeT as was alleged by Modi's government in Gujarat.

Afzal Guru was accused of carrying out an attack on Indian parliament in Dec, 2001. The Indian supreme court judgment acknowledged the evidence against Guru was circumstantial: "As is the case with most conspiracies, there is and could be no evidence amounting to criminal conspiracy." But then, it went on to say: "The incident, which resulted in heavy casualties, had shaken the entire nation, and the collective conscience of society will only be satisfied if capital punishment is awarded to the offender." This shameful Indian Supreme Court verdict to approve Guru's execution is a great miscarriage of justice with few precedents in legal annals.

Independent educators and academics in India feel they are under siege since Hindu Nationalist Prime Minister Modi ascended to power. A concerted move is underway in many states across India to Hinduize education. RSS ideologues are being given key positions in India's educational and cultural institutions to realize a Hindu Nationalist vision of India.


Last year, Modi's BJP appointed Gajendra Chauhan as head of Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). The staff and students protested the appointment describing Mr. Chauhan as grossly unqualified for the position. The Indian media have sharply criticized his work that includes films such as “Jungle Love,” “Vasna” (“Desire”), “Jungle Ka Beta” (“The Son of the Jungle”) and various other B-grade movies. Aljazeera reported that his main qualification appears to be his affiliation with the Hindu Nationalist BJP as national convener for culture, responsible for promoting “the party’s ideology through cultural activities,” as he put it in an interview with The Indian Express.

In the Aug. 13, 2015 issue of The New York Review of Books, the economist and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen described how the government pressured him to step down from his position as chancellor of the newly formed Nalanda University — most likely because of his criticism of Modi before the elections, according to Aljazeera.

According to the Aljazeeera report, Mr. Sen has listed the ways in which the government has interfered in the management of many academic institutions — the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay and the National Book Trust. It has proposed a bill that would give it direct control of the 13 Indian Institutes of Management. The caliber of two recent appointments is also alarmingly questionable: Lokesh Chandra, the newly selected head of the Indian Council of Cultural Relations, which oversees India’s cultural relations with other countries, has said Modi is an incarnation of God, and Yellapragada Sudershan Rao, the new head of the Indian Council of Historical Research, has praised the caste system.

Massive student protests in India are the culmination of growing resentment against attempts by the Modi government to curb academic and intellectual freedoms and reshape educational and cultural institutions and the Indian society at large.

Haq's Musings: ‎Massive Anti-Modi Student Protests Spreading Fast Across India

Wow What a great protest, In picture, 3 Mom aged fake students are protesting. I have never seen such a huge protest in my life.
 
sanghi terrorists are making prominent the issue of "separatists" and "bharat ki barbadi tak" to hide away the fact of these agitations beginning with calls for justice for the late rohith vemula... and those who glorify "bharat mata" should answer the families and friends of those 300,000 indian farmers who suicided between 1995 and 2015... and perhaps in manner of the "kya aapke toothpaste me namak hai??" advertisement, the sangh terrorists should suddenly appear in front of some indian who is about to be "honor killed" and push a mic in front of this soon-to-be-killed person, demanding that he/she sing the national anthem, and once it finishes let the family finish the victim finally.

no other country sees the scale of injustices, oppressions and atrocities that india does... and members should ask our indian tta, milspec, what he said to me about rohith vemula. :)

BS I have videos of ABVP leaders. Will search and put it when I RCH home. Hate working with mobile. The BJP are feeding the same BS they always did. Magical phenomenon of aunty national students. Who do you think leftists are man ? Most of them are the kind of pot smoking @$$holes say @Marxist was 7 years ago. If fact most of these idiots are in it coz looking intellectual makes it easier to get the girls. Of course the jokers won't admit it but anyone who expects a revolution from jnu is probably better off trying sanyas. And why wouldn't the BJP attack it? It is the most famous place with the name Nehru on it. Proving it anti national is proving Nehru anti national.


I have no doubts that's the case there too. Mashe, ithreem vrashamaya ee sthalangalilu oru divasam pularchakku yellam anti national slogan parayumbol chheeenga naariya BJP manam thanne.

Not a new or sudden phenomena JNU was a hub of anti national activities under the guise of Freedom of speech ,If you want I can give you a long list They celebrated Dantewada Massacre of security personals (Pitched battle over 'people's war' at JNU - Times of India ) ...Two Army officers who were kargil veterans was mercilessly beaten in an Urdu Mushaira in the JNU Delhi (29th April, 2000) For opposing Anti-India rants by Pak poets .there are numerous incidents like this ..do you find BJP's smell in these incidents also

Ithlellalam Sakhavu BJPyude cheenunariya Gandam aswadikundo ?

@Marxist @MilSpec attack on JNU is not controlled by BJP.... Very evident proof. The moment a party refuses to honor even the court is when it needs to be booted out.

So according to you that is JNU's justification to come out clean that since they got attacked, it was ok to shout break India slogans on cultural event?

Although attack was reaction.

Btw where is Rahul baba these days??:undecided:? hmmm..me thinks he is hiding his face in shame thinking, if only I had followed elder's advice :whistle:
He visited JNU to address desh ki awaz aka youth, jo hamesha ladti rahegi zulm ke khilaf. He also congratulated them for celebrating anti India day before going 2 minutes silence for Afzal Guru. :sarcastic:

Agitations began for Rohit Vemula - Interesting, I do not think that the organizer of event even mentioned Vemula on the flyers for the event, was the event not of "Judicial Kiling Of Afzal Guru and Maqbool Butt", But sure now that we are running out of moral space let's bring Rohit Vemula, farmer suicide, and other issues into the debate.

I have no problems with people hailing terrorists as heroes, if that is what they admire, and aspire to be, rest assured their result will be the same...

As far as Rohit Vemula is concerned, my comment has been very specific to you... by the nature of your commentary which is to attack strategic interest of India under the garb of "social issues", i repeat you are free to join him.
