The Rohingya Crisis, Suu Kyi’s Silence, and India’s Stand

By

We take a look at the Rohingyas’ history, the reason for their torture, Aung San Suu Kyi’s silence, India’s stand on the issue.

The Rohingyas are an Indo-Aryan tribe whose existence in the Indian subcontinent (before it disintegrated into Bangladesh and Myanmar) dates back to the 8th century. They have lived in the Rakhine state of Myanmar for most of their lives, and constitute mainly of Muslims and a small section of Hindus.

Most of the Rohingyas lived in the northern area of the Rakhine state, which used to be a sprawling land of hills, beaches, and fertile agriculture before the infamous 1962 Burmese coup d’état. Subsequently, in 1982 and then in the 2000s, the Burmese torture upon the Rohingyas continued. Ever since then, the government and some high-profile lawyers have tried hard to invalidate the Rohingyas’ existence by tampering with evidence.

The Rohingyas have suffered from ethno-nationalist bigotry at the hands of the Burmese military for decades because the military considers them as ‘Muslim intruders’ in the largely Buddhist Myanmar. Their taking the side of the British during World War II added fuel to the fire, as the Rakhine residents were pro-Japanese. Their houses were torched, women raped, and the minority tortured, which is why the United Nations (UN) has called it ‘a slow genocide’.

Aung San Suu Kyi is a revolutionary in Myanmar and the world applauds her for it. When we think of her, we think of complex concepts like resilience, peace, and patience. Her journey from Lady Shri Ram College (LSR) to winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 and to winning the general elections has inspired students, and reformed and reshaped the global political sphere. Her role in establishing democracy in the country has been imperative, but her role after being elected as the State Counsellor (de facto Prime Minister) has been nothing but disappointing.

The treatment of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar is loathsome, and Suu Kyi’s silence on the matter even more so. Silence from a leader with a platform to implement change, in this specific matter, is the worst crime against basic human rights. Along with this is the denial of well-documented evidence and obstruction of humanitarian aid. The UN has time and again called this section of the society as “the world’s most persecuted minority”, and this description has not changed since she took office.

Kiren Rijiju, the Minister for Home Affairs, has declared that the 40,000 Rohingyas distributed across Indian states will be deported. Neither Bangladesh nor India has the resources to harbour this community. The community also poses a threat on the safety frontier. The Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) allegedly has connections with Al-Qaeda, and lately, with ISIS too. These connections can spread like wildfire among the refugees in India and elsewhere. On the other hand, a community this vulnerable and oppressed, with hardly any country to turn to, is the responsibility of all better placed nations. In fact, the UN’s intervention has already failed to restore peace and order in the West so far as the rehabilitation of Syrian refugees is concerned. If the global community is not careful, the Rohingyas’ mass displacement could become an even greater crisis, this time plaguing the East. And then, the fault will lie squarely on these nations’ shoulders. The need of the hour is therefore for Myanmar to take its people back with peace and harmony, and for other nations to convince Myanmar regarding the same.

The Aftermath of Elections- Is there Room for Improvement?

By

Another edition of Delhi University Students’ Union(DUSU) elections gone by, another year’s campaigning done and dusted. What lies ahead is the vast aftermath of elections and the countless reforms the process is yet to witness.

DUSU elections are continuously undergoing some change. From the implementation of EVMs(Electronic Voter Machines) that replaced ballot boxes to the NOTA(None of The Above) option that was introduced last year, many issues have been rectified by the responsible authorities.

However, a slight cause of worry is the fact that out of the total votes for all four posts, NOTA votes increased by a staggering 60%, from 17,722 last year to 29,770 this year. The use of this option should be lauded, but to prevent NOTA votes from increasing next year too, we can improve and learn from foreign universities’ student body elections and draw parallels that stand relevant in the Indian scenario.

  1. Referendums can be held to solidify the constitution that governs DUSU elections.This procedure, complicated to understand but easier in practice, requires contesting suits to get signatures to put forward a question for a referendum on the ballot. If a threshold of signatories is reached, the referendum is conducted to make elections more student inclusive. If the question gets the support of 2/3rd of the voters with at least 10% voting in favour, the proposed amendment is passed and cannot be repealed by any authority. This gives voters the significant power to exercise their rights and influence legislation governing them. This model is actively followed at Harvard University.
  2. Unlike the case in India, in most University Government Bodies(UGB) in the U.S, candidates are not affiliated with any political party, either the Democrats or Republicans. There are, however, separate clubs and organisations that harbour their ideologies, regardless of which they still have no direct link with the parties. It is unlikely that the same model will ever be followed in the Indian scenario, but it provides an insightful snippet of thought for future elections.
  3. University officials are striving to make elections relevant to the digital age but still follow outdated mediums to do the same. Since Delhi University is an open university with colleges spread far and wide, for a candidate to reach out to the maximum number of students in limited time is an impossibility. Conducting university-wide debates in henceforth not possible, and not every college has the required infrastructure to accommodate all the students of its institution for the same. Candidates in foreign universities come up with websites meant specifically for their election campaigns. Following a similar digital route, candidates for DUSU elections can conduct live sessions, use chat boxes for live question-answer rounds and spread manifesto circulars on open social media platforms.

As much as political parties are despised during the time leading up to elections, many have pitched in reforms that could potentially bring revolutionary changes. The number of EVMs can be increased and mock runs of EVMs can be conducted, as the controversy of tampering always arises after elections are through. Audits could be conducted of the DUSU expenditure and the same published on a public portal to help interested students review the functioning of the outgoing DUSU panel. (Credits: NSUI and ABVP)

A plethora of similar suggestions have been pitched already, but very few implemented to keep up with the time. Most of the time there are administrative delays and faults that hinder path-breaking changes in the student electoral process. A certain degree of autonomy and accountability could go hand-in-hand to help voters and candidates exercise this opportunity and uphold the spirit of democracy.

Youth Unemployment: Increasing India’s Burden?

By

India’s population has around twenty-eight per cent people that are in the age group of fifteen to twenty-nine, comprising the labour force which has high rates of unemployment.

It should be noted that even though the economy of India is boosting, reports suggest that around thirty percent of India’s youth are unemployed as per the 2017 Economic Survey of India. According to the report even though the economy of India is boosting, the situation of job opportunities and employment is quite grim as the rate of employment has declined.

There are many factors contributing to its cause. One of the main reasons undoubtedly is the alarming increase in the population. The population of our country has exceeded the 1.2 billion mark and it should be one of our main concerns. The continued increase in our population will only worsen the situation for us. While talking about unemployment amongst the youth, it becomes necessary to discuss the issue of caste system present in our society. The stringent hierarchical order present in our society even today makes it difficult for youths of certain castes to practice the profession of their choice. In many places, they are denied jobs on the basis of the family in which they are born into. The practice of such a rigid caste system leaves a lot of the youth unemployed in our country.

Apart from this, it is necessary to talk about the mentality of the youth of the present India. Most of the youth find the prospect of working in small cities and villages not exciting and challenging enough. The glitter of big jobs in big cities enchants them. The competition in these cities is as it is very tough which makes finding jobs quite difficult. The educated youth prefers to struggle in big cities rather than continue with their ancestral work. There is a dire need to change this mentality and to make everyone realise that there is no work that is not dignified enough.

One of the main concerns is also a lack of proper Industrial and Technical Training. There are only a few institutions which offer a proper technical education in the country. Also, the cost of such an education is quite high rendering it impossible for many families to provide for this kind of education. India is a poor country and efforts should be made to make education accessible to people from across all the class.

Thus, it is important to find solutions to these problems. A system of vocational education should be introduced in our education system which would train people in the required skills and expertise. Apart from that, it is the need of the hour to control the population explosion of our country. Steps should be taken sincerely to educate everyone about combating such a complex problem.

Thus all the problems should be tackled to ensure that the youth of India receives employment as it is the future of our country. Unemployment will lead to a series of other problems like poverty, depression etc which would adversely affect the economic growth of our country.

Why NSS Is More Than Just a C.V. Enhancer and Clearance Slip

By

 NSS Day is celebrated across India on the 24th of September each year when we look at the functioning of NSS and deliberate why it’s much more than what it had been reduced to.

National Service Scheme was launched in 1969: Mahatma Gandhi’s birth centenary year, on 24th September in 37 universities with the aim to involve undergraduates for campus-community linkage. Till date, NSS has more than 3.2 million student volunteers on its roll spread over 298 universities. The University of Delhi came under the aegis of this program in the year it started as a nationwide campaign, in 1969 and has since received 14,500 volunteer enrolments annually.

Many colleges under DU include NSS as one of the compulsory societies that a student is required to choose from, along with NSO and NCC as other options. Those who opt for NSS have to ensure a minimum number of hours for clearance and certificates, the number depending college wise. Daulat Ram College, Miranda House, Jesus and Mary College are a few such examples. However, many colleges have digressed from this practice and have maintained NSS as a voluntary association.

DU Beat got in touch with two such colleges, Hindu College and Hansraj College to record their views. Sikha Jaiswal, President, NSS Hindu College was of the view that NSS shouldn’t be made compulsory and described examples of their initiatives. According to her, the value of community service can only be installed to a certain degree as only a select few people come forward out of thousands to volunteer for anything that requires extra efforts. She went on to describe that around 700-800 students applied this year, out of which they could select up to 300. This is in stark comparison to those colleges where the NSS roll is above 1500. Similarly, Tanuja, the head of NSS Hansraj College’s Education wing, Padhaku, said, “From my experience of being a part of NSS for 3 years, I have realised that social service can never be forced, it is a driving force induced from within. It requires toil and commitment, and more importantly the ability to empathize with others.”

The motto of NSS is “Not me, but you”, which aims to create a sense of selfless service and appreciation in the youth. If we keep associating NSS with clearance hours, we’re simply diluting its significance and restricting social outreach programs as a brownie point on the CV only. The Ministry of Health and Rural Development (MHRD) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, regularly issue program guidelines to the NSS Centre, albeit most of which are dull and need to be modified to engage the youth. To improve the functioning of NSS at grass-root levels, more funds need to be allotted and incentive programs need be introduced for top performing colleges or universities to give volunteers the appreciation they deserve.

School to College: A 360 degree turn

By

Newly out of the sheltered and cocooned environment of a school, falling into the uneven and harsh terrain of a college, often we find ourselves drawing outlandish parallels between the two institutions.

While the first to twelfth grades are even steps of a progressively heightening ladder, college is the tight rope that one is expected to walk on immediately thereafter. And the latter is a tough nut to crack. As students conditioned into adherence of the stringent school norms, the liberal atmosphere of a college can be both restrictive and intimidating for many of us, depending on how sensitive we are to the changing environs around us. As with any other species, adaptation is key for college newbies too.

Students step into the University with almost bizarre pre-conceived notions, picked up from either word-of-mouth or unintended dialogue, which is usually only unproductive blabber. Well, college is hardly the illusion it is made out to be. While there are some facts that do hold true, there are quite a few which are completely irrational.

From waking up at 6:00 AM to getting dressed for school at 8:00 AM, five days a week, to contemplating attendance for the first lecture thrice a week and deciding against it, finally giving up and going back to bed every single time, college life is a complete U-turn. The massive change which comes with some flexibility, though necessary for students engaged in other activities besides their core academics, can also be exploited. Unfortunately, as soon as a leeway if given in terms of attendance, everyone is content with not showing up for classes as and when convenient. But the contentment usually backfires by the time the semester examinations approach. By then, the ritualistic practice of running after professors for notes and internal marks begins automatically.

College allows for a certain degree of independence, both emotionally and physically, that a school restricts in many ways. Quite a lot of people move out for pursuing degrees in undergraduate courses, some even going abroad, which requires prior preparation on various levels. From finding an accommodation and evaluating comparative benefits of the same to managing finances and holding oneself responsible for one’s own safety, college requires a person to brave against all odds. And as daunting as it may sound, it is the only thing that can probably set a person free from the habit of overindulgence.

While school is a great breeding ground for the simulation of ideas, there is a lot of ‘spoon-feeding’ involved. Pre-formulated notions are fed to the students without inculcating in them a thirst for questioning those notions. College, in this regard, guarantees severe mental exercise on an individual level, on a daily basis. With myriad incidents occurring in campuses on a routine basis, a person is compelled to take notice and address the problems responsibly. It coerces you into thinking about these issues with a latent sense of detachment. With ongoing campus debates and protest rallies for everything from LGBTQ rights to indiscriminate hostel curfew, youngsters attempts to pose questions and challenge the diktat of the authorities.

A college, as mentioned above, instills in us a plethora of good dispositions. When in school, a student generally aims to strike the right balance between academics and extra curriculars and in many cases, the latter ceases to exist. But when in college, it is the world that you are competing with and the competition is relentless. Owing to the rat race that we all unintentionally enlist ourselves in, we pave way for ruthlessness. It is not so much the consideration of the grade point average in isolation as much as the cumulative assessment of an individual’s personality in various arenas of prominence that set him/her apart from a crowd.

With both having their fair share of importance, a school nurtures you into its cocoon, long enough for you to build yourself up from scratch. And a college acquaints you with everything that you need to have, to be well equipped in life.

Creating Suicide Awareness On World Suicide Prevention Day

By

September 10 is observed as the World Suicide Prevention Day. Suicide cases are on the rise in recent years due to reasons that need to be minimized to ensure good mental health.

On the day of September 10 organizations like World Health Organization (WHO) and International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) organize various events to promote and conduct activities for spreading more awareness about suicides. With the increasing number of suicide rates, let’s have a look at the leading causes leading to such tragedy:

  • Depression

There are over 350 million people who suffer from depression all across the world. Low self-esteem is a huge contributor. Everyone sets targets for themselves and failing to complete them can demoralize them and make them question themselves. Family issues are also undeniably a great cause for mental stress. Resorting to alcohol and other drugs seems as an easy solution to let go of the stress one undergoes. But again, that has disastrous effects which ultimately leads to addiction and contributes towards isolation from friends and family.

 

  • Peer Pressure

Peers fulfill an essential social requirement all of us have. But their impact can go wrong  at times. In a competitive environment, not being able to do what your peers do or not achieving something as good as your peers can inject a sense of low morale in oneself. The thought of not doing something worthwhile terrorizes the mind and harms mental health.

  • Cyber Bullying

Cyber bullying cases have intensified with the rise of the internet’s popularity where over 25% of the teens have reported to being repeatedly bullied over the internet. In recent times, there has been an outburst of suicidal cases due to a game called “The Blue Whale Challenge” which is targeting  teens. The challenges include tasks like carving a whale on your body and eventually, the last challenge of the game requires the person to commit suicide.

 

  • Relationship Issues

Being in a relationship is seen as a very normal part of our lives today. However, deep attachment to your partner and the inability to cope up with conflicts induce a great degree of pain that encourages self-harm and even suicide. Such cases make a person’s mind fragile and they are exposed to suicidal thoughts eventually resulting in committing suicide.

 

But amidst all the mental chaos, we must not forget that we have been blessed with the gift of life and that we should rejoice it. Talking to friends or family members can lessen our burden and also help us find solutions to any problems. Sports, games, music, debates etc. help us in keeping our minds healthy. Hanging out with friends or reading a book may help too. Doing social work helps one feel satisfied and fills one with joy. There are adequate ways to cope up and solve mental issues that trouble us. But we must face it and overcome such hurdles. So this September, let’s smile and spread smiles to let people know that we care.

The University of Delhi Issues a Stern Warning Against Littering

By

DU election office issues warning to the political parties against the littering of the campus and allows a deadline of 36 hours to get the campus cleaned or threatens consequences

With DUSU elections knocking at the door, the campus has been bombarded with posters and pamphlets. A large scale of littering and cavalcades of vehicles has been witnessed in and around the campus area. The entire campus- from walls to roads, from advertising spaces at bus shelters to market places – is covered with posters, pamphlets, and graffiti, mostly from candidates inviting students to “join them”. The university has already issued notifications and guidelines against littering but there is little adherence to the rules set.

Such campaigning from political parties has caused havoc on the campus and has been instrumental in being an obstacle for student activities. A lot of students expressed their resentment and concern over wastage of huge resources.

Waking up to this, The University of Delhi election office on Thursday issued a stern warning to the student groups indulging in littering and vandalising of the premises, asking them to clean the campus in 36 hours or face action.

“The DUSU election committee directs the stakeholders to immediately stop all these activities and remove the posters or banners and clean the defaced walls within 36 hours of this notification, failing which action will be taken as per the extant rules, including non-acceptance of candidature, cancellation of nominations or even countermanding of elections,” said a letter issued by Chief Election Officer (CEO) S.B. Babbar.

He acknowledged the state of the campus roads which are buried under campaign paraphernalia and defaced properties and called it a “gross violations of the code of conduct for DUSU elections, Lyngdoh Committee recommendations, and National Green Tribunal order”.

DUSU elections have been scheduled to be held on 12th of September. Parties are gearing up for the big time fight ahead. Although the groups will not announce their nominations before September 6, the entire campus, including the adjoining areas, is smeared with graffiti and posters bearing several possible candidates’ names.

Show Cause Notice to 11 KMC Students for ‘Protesting Without Informing the Hostel Warden.’

By

Eleven students of Kirori Mal College (KMC) were issued a show cause notice by the college authorities for protesting outside Maurice Nagar Police Station without ‘the knowledge of the hostel warden’.

On August 19, almost 50 to 60 students from KMC reached the Maurice Nagar Police Station after a fight broke out between two student groups who were contesting for the hostel elections. Students, meanwhile, claimed that the warden’s ‘inaction’ to stop the fight made them approach the police. Only 11 out of the 50-60 students have been served  notices and were asked to explain, “Why should your admission to the hostel not be terminated due to your misconduct?”

One of the students claimed,” After a fight between two student groups, we called our warden. He was out and would not be able to address the issue that very moment. So we went to the police demanding action.” The matter has already gone to the proctorial committee.

The recently elected hostel President, Prabhat Kumar, who has also received the show cause notice, alleged that only students from UP and Bihar were served notices, sparing other people from other places who were also at the station.  Kumar said, “If this is not discrimination, then what is it?”

The officiating principal of KMC, Dinesh Khattar said,” The students did not approach the authorities and instead went to the police which affects the image of the college. ” He asked the students to tell the names of the other involved students before the proctorial committee, saying, “All will be treated equally”. The inquiry committee will now look into the matter and recommend necessary action.

NSUI Demand Process Reforms in Upcoming DUSU Elections

By

NSUI recently organised a press briefing where they proposed a set of changes that should be made in the DUSU elections. The elections are scheduled to take place on 12 September this year.

With the Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) elections nearing day after day, parties are gearing up to win as many seats in the office bearing positions. The National Students Union of India (NSUI), organized a press briefing on 24 August where they proposed a set of electoral reforms which they wanted to see in the upcoming elections that are scheduled on 12 September this year.

It is no secret that the DUSU elections have witnessed a low turnout of students over the past few years. And in order to encourage student participation, NSUI have proposed these changes that are as follows:


ID CARDS: The eligible students should be provided with ID cards at least one week prior to the day of polls. And if the students are not provided with ID cards, government recognised ID cards should be accepted along with the admission/fee slip.

POLLING AGENTS: Just like the Election Commission of India (ECI) has put in place a system of polling agents for transparent elections, such polling agents should be placed for every candidate contesting the elections.

MOCK EVM DRILLS: Similar to the elections conducted by the State and Central Election Commission, a mock drill of these Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) should be conducted in front of polling agents to check whether the machines are functioning or not.

USE OF VVPAT MACHINES: Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) machines should be used in the DUSU elections and at least 5% of the machine polling should be cross checked with the paper trail.

REGULATED COUNTING OF VOTES: Increased transparency should be done through EVM-wise counting in front of the candidates/polling agents. EVMs can be mixed to ensure the anonymity of results.

DECENTRALIZED CONTROL ROOMS: Decentralized Control Rooms should be allotted that shall be manned by the representatives of Election Commission for prompt redressal of grievances from the date of notification of election till the voting day.

INCREASED VOTING TIME: The duration for voting should be increased for the convenience of students living far off. The morning shift should take place from 8 am- 1 pm while the evening shift should take place from 2pm-7pm. This shall result in greater turnout and provide greater legitimacy to the winners.

ALTERATION IN SECURITY: The Excessive presence of police on campus during elections should be avoided as it intimidates the voters, especially first-year students. Also, excessive barricades affect voters turn out since students need to cover longer distances on foot.

PROVISION FOR RECOUNTING: A provision for recounting/repolling in the colleges should be made where substantive allegations of unfair polling are made.

It will be interesting to see if these changes are adopted or not. Also, NSUI proposes that the changes notified should be intimated to all colleges, prominently displayed in colleges and a copy of it should be given to all the candidates.

What You Need to Know About DUSU

By

The Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections are given a lot of coverage at the national level and are impossible to miss for students bombarded with campaigning. But what is their relevance?

The Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) election is either a very fascinating or deeply disheartening exercise, depending on how wary you are of student politics at this point. Irrespective of your state of mind regarding this wonderful mechanism of giving students a voice or this total waste of time and resources, some basic information about the whole thing is essential. What is it about these elections that students’ choices routinely make national headlines? What does DUSU election entail?

DUSU refers to an organisation comprising elected members from affiliated Delhi University colleges. Colleges like St. Stephen’s and Lady Shri Ram College for Women are part of the few who aren’t affiliated to the DUSU.  According to the DUSU Constitution, one of its objectives is to “promote a spirit of oneness among the students of the University of Delhi”; along with promoting a sense of service towards the state and harmonious relations among the students. Its panel consists of the posts of President, Secretary, Vice-President, and Joint Secretary, with President and Secretary being the prime posts. It can also organise events like blood donation camps, debates, competitions, lecture series, and even publish journals. But perhaps DUSU’s most important function is that of meeting, discussing and making representations to the University authorities on matters concerning the common students.

Problems regarding college infrastructure and policies are dealt with by the means of the college unions most of the time. Where DUSU becomes instrumental is in being a representation of the students and reflecting their needs and demands. The Council for 2015-16 had, for example, staged long protests outside the Vice-Chancellor’s office upon the issue of mass failing of B.Comm students in the examinations held in May-June, 2017.  This session’s outgoing council has, however, been quite driven by politics. The Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP)-majority Council led a “Tiranga march” this year in response to the protests against the Ramjas College violence where President Amit Tanwar said, “I urge all of you, that if such an anti-national incident occurs in your college, give these Communists a fitting reply and throw them out”. In such a context, having a panel of DUSU council that accurately forwards the views of the majority of the students rather than be governed by vested interests is necessary for ensuring a safe, harmonious campus.

Delhi University is also known for bringing a sort of “mini-India” together with people coming from various social, economic, and, the point of interest for national political parties-geographical backgrounds. It is the biggest central university of the country, situated in the national capital, and its election results are seen as a bellwether for where the national political winds are blowing. The 2014 DUSU elections results, for one, reflected the national mood when all 4 posts were swept away by the  ABVP.

The DUSU elections are also a gateway to politics as a career. The current Minister of Finance, Arun Jaitley and Minister of Sports & Youth Affairs, Vijay Goel have both been presidents of the DUSU as young ABVP leaders. Aam Aadmi Party leader, Alka Lamba has also been a former president of National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) and so has Congress leader, Ajay Maken.

So the next time you are confused upon seeing student parties spend a lot of time, effort, and freebies on securing votes, understand that it’s not you, it’s them. Specifically, their long-term goals of securing even greater power.
