Student life

Students' Union

Main article:Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union

Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union or JNUSU is the university-wide representative body for students at the university. It is an elected body.

2008–2012 ban on student elections

On 24 October 2008 theSupreme Court of Indiastayed the JNU elections and banned the JNUSU for not complying with the recommendations of the Lyngdoh committee.[note 1][29]After a prolonged struggle and multi-party negotiations, the ban was lifted on 8 December 2011.[30]After a gap of more than four years, interim elections were scheduled again on 1 March 2012.[31]Following the election results declared on 3 March 2012,All India Students Association(AISA) candidates won all four central panel seats andSucheta De,the president of AISA became the president of JNUSU.[32]

International Student's Association

The International Student's Association (ISA) is an official Jawaharlal Nehru University body. It was instituted in 1985 with a view to promoting friendly relations and cultural exchange. The ISA has a constitution and elected executive, cultural, advisory and financial committees. All foreign students of JNU are also members of the FSA. The university has 133international students.[33]

Activism and controversy

The JNU is infused with an intensepolitical lifeon campus. Students that leave campus are said to acquire a "permanently changed outlook on life" as a result of student politics. The politicisation of campus life has led to a refusal to brush under the carpet social issues such asfeminism,minority rights,social and economic justice. All such issues are debated fiercely in formal and informal gatherings.[34]

A sign near the JNU administrative building after theDelhi High Courtruled that students cannot hold protests within a 100-meter periphery of the university's administrative block.[35][36][37][38]

The JNU student politics isleft-of-centreeven though, in recent years,right-wingstudent groups have also entered the field. Political involvement is "celebratory in spirit." Thestudent union electionsare preceded by days of debates and meetings, keeping all students involved. The JNU has the reputation of an "unruly bastion ofMarxistrevolution. "However, the student activists deny the charge, stating that the politics at JNU is issue-based and intellectual.[34]

The university is known for its alumni who now occupy important political andbureaucraticpositions (see Notable alumni below). In part, this is because of the prevalence ofCentre-leftstudent politics and the existence of a written constitution for the university to which notedCommunist Party of India (Marxist)leaderPrakash Karatcontributed exhaustively during his education at JNU.[39]

2010 Operation Green Hunt controversy

In 2010 a "JNU Forum Against War on People" was organised "to opposeOperation Green Huntlaunched by the government. "[40]According to theNSUInational general secretary, Shaikh Shahnawaz, the meeting was organised by the Democratic Students' Union (DSU) andAll India Students Association(AISA) to "celebrate thekilling of 76 CRPF personnelin Chhattisgarh. "[40]Shaikh Shahnawaz also stated that "they were even shouting slogans like 'India murdābāda, Māvavāda ziṃdābāda'."[40][note 2]NSUI and ABVP activists undertook a march against this meeting,[40]"which was seen as an attempt to support theNaxalitesand celebrate the massacre, "[43]after which the various parties clashed.[40]The organisers of the forum said that "the event had nothing to do with the killings in Dantewada".[44]

2015 opposition to saffronisation

In 2015, the JNU Students' Union and theAll India Students Associationobjected to efforts to create instruction on Indian culture. Opposition to such courses was on the basis that such instruction was an attempt tosaffroniseeducation.[45]Saffronisationrefers to right-wing efforts to glorify ancient Hindu culture. The proposed courses were successfully opposed and were, thus, "rolled back." A former student of JNU and a former student union member, Albeena Shakil, claimed thatBJPofficials in government were responsible for proposing the controversial courses.[46]

2015 Rainbow Walk

On 28 December 2014, the symbolic "Rainbow Tree" which stood forLGBTQ pridewas vandalised.[47]To counter the "growinghomophobia"on the campus, JNU Students' Union along with other queer groups like Anjuman and Dhanak, led a march on 9 January, called Rainbow Walk.[47]The march started from JNU's Ganga Dhaba and ended at the Rainbow Tree spot.[48]The protestors criticised the 2013 verdict of theSupreme Courtnullifying theDelhi High Courtorder reading downSection 377 of the IPC.[47]The campaign aimed at celebrating individual right tosexual freedomand identity.[47]The march was filled with songs and slogans; the students also painted a zebra crossing in rainbow colours and wrapped trees with rainbow coloured threads.[49]

2016 sedition controversy

Main article:2016 JNU sedition controversy

On 9 February, a cultural evening was organised by 10 students, formerly of the Democratic Students' Union (DSU), at the Sabarmati Dhaba, against the execution of2001 Indian Parliament attackconvictAfzal Guruand separatist leaderMaqbool Bhat,and for Kashmir's right to self-determination.[50]Slogans like "Pākistāna Zindābāda"(" Long live Pakistan "),"Kaśmīra kī āzādī taka jaṃga calegī, Bhārata kī barbādī taka jaṃga calegī"(" War will continue till Kashmir's freedom, war will continue till India's demolition ") were reportedly raised at the protest meet."[50][51]Protests by members ofABVPwere held at the University demanding expulsion of the student organisers.[52]

JNU administration ordered a "disciplinary" enquiry into the holding of the event despite denial of permission, saying any talk about country's disintegration cannot be "national".[53]The Delhi Police arrested the JNU Students' Union PresidentKanhaiya KumarandUmar Khalidon charges ofseditionand criminal conspiracy, under section 124 of theIndian Penal Codedating back to 1860.[54][55]

The arrest soon snowballed into a major political controversy, with several leaders of opposition parties visiting the JNU campus in solidarity with the students protesting against the police crackdown.[56]More than 500 academics from around the world, including JNU alumni, released a statement in support of the students.[57]In a separate statement, over 130 world-leading scholars includingNoam Chomsky,Orhan PamukandAkeel Bilgramicalled it a "shameful act of the Indian government" to invoke sedition laws formulated during colonial times to silence criticism.[58][59]The crisis was particularly concerning to some scholars studyingnationalism.[citation needed]On 25 March 2016, theGoogle Mapssearch for 'anti national' led users to JNU campus.[60]

Swami Vivekananda Statue

The Prime Minister of India,Narendra Modiinaugurated 151-inch tall statue ofSwami Vivekanandaon 151st Jayanti of Jainacharya Shree Vijay Vallabh Surishwer Ji Maharaj and referred as theStatue of Peacewhereas the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union protested outside the JNU campus and raised slogans such as ‘Uninvited Modi Go Back’, ‘Punish the perpetrators of January 5th attack’, ‘Save Public Education’ and ‘Unlock JNU’ among others.[61][62]

In November 2019, the yet-to-be inaugurated statue of Swami Vivekananda in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus was vandalised, with slogans against the BJP painted on the floor around the statue.[63][64][65]Students of the university, however, denied their involvement and termed it an act by some miscreants to discredit the JNU Students Union movement against the varsity administration against fee hike and hostel manual. A group of students later wiped off the slogans painted near the statue.[66]

Campus Violence

1981 46 days lockdown

JNU was shutdown for 46 days by Indian government in 1981 after violence by student unions linked to communist parties.[67]

2000 Army Officers Scuffle

In April 2000, two army officers who disturbed anIndo-Pakmushairaat the JNU campus were beaten up by agitated students.[68]The officers were angered byanti-war poemsrecited by twoPakistanipoets[68]and disrupted themuśāirā.[69]They were enraged at the recited lines of a poem by Urdu poetFahmida Riaztuma bhī bilkula hama jaise nikale( "It turned out you were just like us" ) and interpreted the lines as a criticism of India.[70]One of them started to shout anti-Pakistan slogans.[69]When the audience asked for silence. They were overpowered by security[70]and then beaten by students, though not seriously injured.[69][71]The Indian Army denied the charges and it was reported that the two army officers were admitted in hospitals.[72]A retired judge was appointed to probe the accusation.[73]

2019 protest and 2020 attack

Main article:Jawaharlal Nehru University attack

On 13 November 2019, the JNU administration raised the fees of the university.[74]Since 28 October 2019, some students of JNU had been protesting against the fee hike.[75][76][77][78]As a part of this protest, students boycotted the final semester examinations. After protests, the university partially rolled back by reducing fees only for students from families with extreme poverty (BPL category) who do not avail any scholarship. The move did not convince the students as there was no rollback in the fee hike for non-BPL category students neither for BPL students availing a scholarship.[79]To press the administration for a complete rollback of the increase in fees, JNUSU had continued the protests.[80][81][82]The semester registration with the revised fee was started by 1 January.

On 5 January 2020, a group of masked vandals entered the campus, destroyed property and beat up several people.[83][84]This included students and professors. This drew widespread condemnation from the public, with opposition parties, Bollywood celebrities and human rights activists expressing their concerns.[85]

2022 Resistance to ban on non-veg food

In April 2022, a group of students fromABVPattacked the canteen staff and students on serving non-vegetarian food. A clash between students in resistance to the efforts ofABVPto ban non-veg and several students were injured.[86]Delhi police registered an FIR against unidentifiedABVPstudents.[87]Netizencommented this as denial of freedom and a continuation of attack against Muslims in India.[88]
