What Aligarh Muslim University Needs

(Mohd Asim is Senior News Editor, NDTV 24x7)

The crude comment of the Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University that girls will attract more boys at the varsity's central library has created a lot of noise and fury. But we must thank the Vice Chancellor for this rather bad joke. It at least brought to the fore the serious issue of a section of girl students being denied use of a university facility for being, well, girls.

The issue is as old as the library itself. It is a legacy of the century gone. The central library, named after India's first education minister Maulana Azad, is out of bounds for under-graduate girls at the AMU. Ironically, the issue exploded on national media on the birth anniversary of Maulana Azad. The university's argument that these girls have a library of their own at the Women's College, which is about 3 km away from the main campus, is illogical.

During my years at the AMU as a student - from schooling to post graduation in 2004 - I saw girl students speak up against this gender-based discrimination. If lack of space is an argument for under-grad girls, then why not for under-grad boys? Let only students pursuing their post-graduation, men or women, use this library, one of the finest and biggest in Asia.

The real issue is the mindset of the administration, not "space" or "distraction". A separate college for girls till the undergraduate level and denying access to common facilities, restrict their ability to realise their full potential.

A woman professor at the AMU, who didn't wish to be identified, aptly said, "The students of the Women's College have to perform with the limited resources of the Women's College library, while their male counterparts have access to one of Asia's finest libraries. When women students are unable to access the facilities, services and knowledge structures that the institutional space of a university offers, such unequal access leads to differential learning outcomes and opportunities. Women's roles in participatory learning as well as in the democratic decision-making processes of the institution are compromised. Besides, their exclusion creates a general culture of inferiority in women. This weakens and dis-empowers women at vantage points of knowledge production, thereby reproducing the social knowledge of women's limitations and barriers for women. Their exclusion also creates a general culture of fear to speak. This systemic denial perpetuates a culture of silence and acquiescence."

This professor says her only hope today rests in Human Resource Development minister Smriti Irani, who has sought a report from the university.

The role of the HRD ministry is indeed pivotal and that brings me to a larger question of university administration. The most cruel joke that successive governments have played on AMU is appointing former Armymen and bureaucrats as Vice Chancellors. The current VC, Zameeruddin Shah, is also a retired Lt General, and at least two other top posts in the administration are today occupied by former faujis.

Why on earth should a fauji be sent to run an educational institution? Is there a shortage of good academicians? Why don't we hear of former Generals being deputed at DU or JNU?

Educational institutions should be spaces of debate, enquiry, exchange of ideas and harbingers of change. An ex-fauji or a retired babu on a post-retirement assignment cannot bring in new ideas. They only administer and rule. They curb free expression, embolden patriarchal tradition and play "safe".

Owing to the high-handed and status quoist approach of its administrators, the AMU is operating in inertia quite oblivious to the socio-economic changes in the nation. For any change to come to the university, the government must first change its policy of sending babus and faujis to administer it. Let good academics take over.

I think the problem is Hindusim in Indian Media. that extremism has always been a problem.

especially after Modi Terrorist becoming India PM, provocation seems to accelerate !



Hindusim is problem and all terrorists are hard core Islamic... your hate for non Muslim is well known..

Brother, this earth belong to all animals of all religion, Not only your Arabic manmade god or Indian god.. Please don't be Zombie, be human...

There is something major wrong with anyone who supports that Women should not be allowed to enter a Library. This is India, not Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, this will not be allowed.

no... in india too, esp. india, there are female groups who are anti-female... be that durga vahini or be that aasiya andrabi's "dukhtaraan e millat" burqas... remember that saying... "the worst enemy of a female is another female".

"Muslim university"

Aligarh Muslim University is as much muslim as Islamic state of Syria and Levant is Islamic .

Muslim in AMU's name is a legacy of era gone by ( if you ask which era google why Sir Syed Amhed Khan founded it ) .

AMU is open to all like other national universities .

You are wrong. The below excerpt is from AMU's site
As per the New Reservation Policy of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), 50% seats of 36 Professional courses (Mainly Post Graduate Courses) have been reserved for Muslim Candidates. The UPA Government has cited section 2(1) of AMU (Amendment) Act, 1981 and the provision of section 5(C) of the Act that empowers the University "to promote especially the educational and cultural advancement of the Muslims of India.” The
Reservation Policy will be applicable to 36 Different Professional courses most of which take admissions through Competitive Exams.

Aligarh Muslim University Reservation Policy AMU Muslim Reservation | Aligarh Muslim University: AMU All Help

More over much of their staff is Muslim as well.

The same is true for Jamia Millia Islamia University Delhi.
Recognizing Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) as a minority institution, the university administration has finally implemented the 50% reservation to Muslim students for admissions in all courses of the university from the academic session of 2011-12.

50% M reservation in the two institution is the handiwork of UPA govt.

Another thing outlawed outfits like SIMI was founded in AMU

The reports stem from controversial remarks made by Vice Chancellor (VC) Zameer Uddin Shah. The VC rejected a demand from students of the university's Women's College to use the central Maulana Azad Library, reportedly saying there would be "four times more boys" in the library if girls were allowed in. He added: "The issue is not of discipline, but of space. Our library is packed".
Shah's remarks sparked accusations of sexism from the media and government officials. He later claimed he was misquoted, and women were in fact allowed access to the library. Shah said only undergraduate students in the Women's College could not be accommodated due to "paucity of space". Students, including women, were also quick to respond to the accusations of gender discrimination, criticising the media for "biased" reporting.


The news says the issue is really of crowding in library.?

The central government allocates crores of funds including the 30 crores in 2012-2013 and 100 crores in 2013-14.

How much does it costs to build a library? few lakhs? maybe a crore?

So who eats up this fund?????? Thats the real question, this thread should focus upon, if we go by the article.

A citizen of country which was created for a single religion on the planet has the obvious right to malign Hinduism or Hindus by hook n crook and I don't doubt your religious duty as soldier of Islamic republic of Pakistan....
On topic-
Our stand remain unchanged....

when "operation majnoon" was conducted by lucknow police a few years ago, the police beating up couples in parks included female constables ( because by law, female police must be present to act against female "criminals" )... aren't mothers-in-law the first ones to seed poison against the bride ( in dowry crime cases )... aren't female neighbors the first ones to gossip cruelly about some female neighbor's dress or lifestyle... aren't mothers participant in "honor killing"... what about the case of the 2009 ram sena attack on amnesia night club and the attitude of now-former "national commission for women" member, nirmala sitaraman...

And how is "durga Vahini" anti female ?

what is their opinion on "love jihad" and night clubs??

So ? what is your point ? That man attacking women or man is ok but women attacking women somehow makes it "women is worst enemy of women" ? :lol:

what is their opinion on "love jihad" and night clubs??

How is this related to you calling "durga vahini" anti women ? First answer my question if you expect me to answer yours.
