CAMPUS POLITICS II

The Right Way

If we look at the campuses of today, most of them are politics free. i.e. no political influence is felt directly on the students and staff of the colleges . This has greatly influenced the reactive power as well as awareness among the youth of today. The campus should have politics or a democratic system that could firstly mold the minds of the students into a socially active one and secondly help in achieving the rights of the students as well as performing their duties. The self-managed colleges(not all) have taken out this system of politics from their campuses so that there can be a peaceful college life without any strikes, agitations and bloodshed. But this isn’t the real reason. The point behind it is that the  Colleges can run themselves without any hassles and could function without the questioning of the students if the students aren’t organized. This helps in bringing rules and regulations according to the whims of the college management without any resistance if needed. Hence the colleges may look like one with five star facilities with students achieving curricular gains but in reality the college gives nothing but money vending machines.

Social awareness and activism is born in the college days for most of the youth and this can be achieved by college politics which help in waking the active gene of the youth. The present educational scenario has created a myth that politics ruins student life and education as a whole but in reality good political life at college nurtures an all-round development that could help in serving the nation in the future. Here the conflict is between politics itself. It is between the bad politics played by people who don the face of not politicizing the campus but in reality play cruel politics behind the wall and people who genuinely and sincerely want to help the students and society. Politics doesn’t have pros and cons but it is the good politics which is the pro and bad politics is the con. The game of violent campus politics is a result of such subjugation and intolerance from the men who are against politicizing the campus.

Good politics would help in building the campus into a better one and could bring more activities and help in the wholesome development of students personality .student activities shouldn’t be controlled and it should be left to the students with the governance of the staff so that it could bring some color to the campus.

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.

The greatest Sacrifice: Imam Hussein(r.a)

Shahast Hussain, badshahast Hussain,
Deenast Hussain, deen-e panahast Hussain,
Sar dad, na dad dast, dar dast-e-yazid,
Haqa key binaey La ilaha ilallahast Hussain

... Husayn is the master, Husayn is the king,
Husayn is the symbol of faith, Husayn is the defender of faith,
He gave his life rather than allegiance to Yazid
Verily the foundation of La'illah illa-allah is Husayn.

The 10th of Muharram is a day that not only muslims but the entire humanity mourns since the day brought the great calamity, the tragic episode that painted the sky red. Imam Hussein(R.A) was brutally killed by ruthless evil hypocrite, Yazid. The beloved grandson of prophet Muhammad(SAWS) was killed by this despotic ruler and his army. It was a day of sacrifice. A revolutionary became a martyr. The Sunni world has often forgotten this event or maybe has given lesser significance but this event can never be forgotten since it was a fight against tyranny and Monarchy.

Imam Hussein(R.A) sacrificed his life to revive the muslim Ummah which was going into a slumber. The islamic system was getting tampered. It began with force from the rule of Muawiyyah and came out into the open with the appointment of his son Yazid. It was a treason since it violated the agreement between him and Imam Hassan(R.A).In reality the islamic system was slowly being bitten away, it was being trodden down .Imam Hussein(R.A) sensed it and this is why he stood up against the hypocrite Yazid. The Tragic episode would break you down. Ten days of suffering with women and children deprived of food and water brought them near death. Imam Hussein's son Ali(zain-ul-abideen) was on verge of death due to dehydration! The cruelty that the army committed towards the family was atrocious and can never be forgiven. Our prophet's family was humiliated in this tragic event!

Indeed Hussain(R.A) sacrificed his life for Islam. The sacrifice had certain objectives. It brought the Muslim Ummah back from a period of siesta.The Islamic system based on morality,justice and freedom was being replaced by oppressive monarchy.As Maulana Moudoodi(r.a) points out, the concept of God's sovereignty was being reduced to mere oral assent and thus the basic system was being slowly destroyed. Imam Hussein(R.A) sensed it and fought courageously against it. The principle of enjoining the right and forbidding what is wrong was neglected and these fundamentals were slowly being removed from the state. This martyrdom was against such evil changes.

The Brave Imam Hussain(R.A) fell a martyr in this struggle. It is a day of sorrow, and every muslim nay, every person in this world should engrave this sorrowful event in their hearts so that they never forget why Great Imam Hussein(R.A) became a martyr and why it is the greatest sacrifice.

rape demands death... a head chop

The verdict is out and thank god it is a well deserved one. The incident shook every person in the state of kerala sending shockwaves. A girl being raped and killed in a train journey....may her soul rest in peace
Such incidents happening in a public transport system is a disgrace. It sends an alarm to the authorities. He deserves a death sentence and i wish it could be more cruel.. a person with one hand could do a heinous crime like this , thank god he doesnt have both because he would be a satan.
he surely deserves the death sentence and i wish they had decapitation in this country for such dead cold guys.

eid mubarak to all

New waves

After a long break im back. the world spun so fast with a lot of things happening all around. The fruits of the arab spring are out fresh. The tunisian election was a major victory for the islamists in the region and hopes of new waves are on.

Rachid Ghanoushi

New Waves

The Tunisian elections got over and the results caused a bhoom! across the world, but the media which is fit with a silencer didnt take notice. An Islamist party winning the major share of seats was a revolutionary news indeed. It is for the first time after 7 years that this is happening.The Tunisian election gave the world a just result. It showed the world that people could democratize a land ruled by a dictator for more than 24 years. More importantly it showed that Democracy is not a system for governance according to western ideas and morals but it could take in any flavor of choice and the choice is of the people.

After a long fight , Ennahda(Renaissance Party) and its intellectual leader Rachid Ghanoushi have something to be proud of. They are creating a purely democratic government under islamic morals. But how does the world muslims look at it?
The western world fears a caliphate whereas the muslims are still suspicious, especially the hardliners. Ennahda has secured 41pc of the votes and  CPR(Congress for the Republic party) is in the 2nd spot with the Leftist party Etakkatul coming in third. The government is said to be formed in a few days and it would be an alliance between the three. Ennahdha has already put in their candidate for presidency, Hammad Jbeli. The government is a pure democratic one and would run Tunisia for its people. An Islamic state is out of question.

The Indian muslims see it as a triumph indeed but certain sections are suspicious and against it, saying that the party made them believe that it would bring an islamic state and now has betrayed them by announcing a democratic government. But the Irony of the matter is, these sections themselves have never tried to introduce an islamic system( Economic,governance etc) but on the other hand uphold pure western and unislamic ideology in the Political arena. When Egypt witnessed the revolution with the mass on the streets and the only organisation in full support of the movement being MB, the same sections of muslims said they too are dubious as they have also promised a democratic government. This duality in basic principle regarding governance and political issues are due to their regional animosity with the people who support the revolution and these parties with soul and blood. It is quite a shame that such regional differences could let them take BIG opinions on such matters.
