CAMPUS POLITICS

The present campus scene has witnessed changes that is slowly washing away the political presence in the campus. This has made me think, whether politics is necessary in college or is it of harm.

Politics is a part of every citizen in this nation. The world's largest democracy is maybe the only nation that is truly gripped by politics and political changes.The youth represents the spirit of democracy and colleges are the field where it can be practiced. 
Politics in campus has awakened the social senses of the students and taught them to struggle, resist and fight.It has taught the youth to be brave ,be socially right and fight against injustice. The youth has the power to do it and politics forms an umbrella for them. The colleges in Kerala is seeing a slow withdrawal of political influence from campus life. some say politics has made the campus filthy. Bloodshed and dirty strikes create a gruesome atmosphere but i feel it is better to have it than not because without politics or a socially active environment, the college dies. The campus is simply buried alive because there is no moral obligation for his/her study and politics tries to bring it. The chance for students to be socially aware is withdrawn and the campus creates guinea pigs with ID cards around their necks as it is being done in some campuses. The students learn to become mere audience and in the future it will create socially dumb citizens who gulp down whatever given to them.
Politics here does not mean you need to be a Party member but it means you need to be spirited,aware and a social.

2012: Revolution and Resolution

New year posts are always delivered on the day or the next but this is not of that kind . it is just a thought...a thought that could spin in any ones head,an analysis of the happenings, what was the previous year about and what would the next year bring?

I would call 2011 the year of revolution. The year that awoke the sleeping minds of the middle.. when the 60s where the years of armed revolution under comrade Che, this was  a revolution that smelled jasmine.Similar to the way Che became a symbol of every angry but socially committed and spirited youth,the jasmine has become the symbol of peaceful unarmed struggle against despotism.No one imagined the Arabs could break the chains and unbolt the shackles apart.It happened and it happened big time...The fervor flowed through every nation in that region.The most impressive aspect of this revolution was that the fragrance even reached the capital of capitalism in the form of occupy wall street!..

Revolution is to revolve and by default it doesn't stop. we always feel we need to fight, struggle, create a revolution and then?? and then it is revolution again. It just doesn't stop with a mass parade or hunger strikes but it grows with every success it creates and that is why it is called REVOLUTION.

What will 2012 bring us? The world witnessed a great upheaval and the fragrance of the jasmine shouldn't die out. That should be the resolution of every social being in this world because history has shown us that there were great revolutionaries who created astounding changes in the world and then it was back to square one.The fervor dies out, the cry fades and sometimes it takes a cruel turn where the fighter of freedom becomes the hangman of freedom. Other times the revolution is hijacked. It is simply taken away, far away from the people and it is killed brutally ,never to wake up again.That is why we say revolution should revolves like the sun.


2012 would be a year that sees the first harvest after the seeds have been sown. will it be a success or will the fragrance of jasmine fade away ??
Hope we see the light of a just rule and hope we see a free world.The resolution for 2012 is revolution.The year of youth hopefully.
