The open and intimidating interference in the university campus has been
the major part of the strategy of RSS combine since Modi Sarkar has come to
power. After IIT Madras, Hyderabad Central University, JNU, now Delhi
University is the target. On the pretext that Umar Khalid, has been invited
for a Seminar; ABVP went on rampage in DU; this led to violence in the
campus. The additional factor which has revealed the nature of their
offensive is the way Harmehar Kaur, the daughter of a martyr, has been
trolled for standing up for peace and liberal values, for opposing the high
handed tactics of ABVP in the campus. In response to her face book post,
right from Kiran Rijuju the minister, to top cricketer Virendra Sehvag and
hoard of others descended to criticize the young student. She received
series of threats on the social media, including murder and rape. How women
are made a special target for dissent became obvious in this case. We carry
two memorandums on the issue of violation of Academic freedom through
violence on the campuses.
One young poet Hussain Hydri came out with a touching poem on being a
Hindustani Muslim. This was broadcast on the national TV. It showed the
dilemmas, multiple identities and problems faced by a Muslim. It touched
the hearts of all sensitive souls. On the back of this three other Muslim
poets came out with their anguish of being an Indian Muslim. All their
pains, sufferings, the treatment being meted out to them in society, the
attitude of state, their being targeted as the culprits in blast cases,
their marginalization in society, the biases prevalent against them are
reflected in these poems. Needs lot of introspection!
