Their protest has been peaceful, laden with music and humor. The students, on their part, have shown restraint. It is the Vice Chancellor, not the students, who need to understand what ‘decorum’ and ‘discipline’ in a university mean. Instead, to please their political masters in the Trinamool Congress Party, they tried to shield the actual reign of thuggery that they preside over in the campus of Jadavpur University. Had the vice chancellor and the university authorities wanted, they could have dealt with the matter with promptness, sensitivity and intelligence. What they do not realize is that young people today, especially in the wake of the turbulence that took hold of young people in the aftermath of the 16 December rape in Delhi, will simply not take such a provocation (and prevarication on instances of sexual assault in a university by the authorities and the police are a provocation) lying down. A call by the Trinamool Cchatra Parishad (Trinamool Student Council) and other Trinamool front organization for a counter-demonstration in Kolkata in support of the Vice Chancellor of Jadavpur University means that the Trinamool Congress and the Government of West Bengal actually want to raise the stakes in this confrontation. What this means is that basically, Partha Chatterjee is threatening to unleash TMCP cadre and allied goons on to the students of Jadavpur and elsewhere in West Bengal in order to ‘restore normalcy’ in the education sector in the state. Partha Chatterjee, Trinamool Congress Leader and Education Minister, Government of West Bengal They have voiced their protest and now they should go back to their classes” We are requesting them (students of JU) to resume the classes and not waste their academic year by this movement. “I won’t be responsible if members of Chhatra Parishad, professors and others who want normalcy in the education sector also launch a movement of their own. The state’s education minister, Partha Chatterjee has actually said that. They are squarely responsible for the mess Jadavpur University is in by actually protecting (with their inaction) those who molested and assaulted a young woman student and her friend some days ago.The Chief Minister of West Bengal has dismissed the entire episode as a ‘chhoto ghotona’ ( an insignificant event). Why are the students in Jadavpur, and their friends elsewhere, so angry? What makes so many young people set aside studying, parental worries, anxieties about jobs, the endless distractions of mindless entertainment, the orchestrated frenzy of consumerism to do with the coming ‘Durga Puja’, and inclement weather - to come and stand by each other? And to realize that they may be in this, together, not just for one turbulent night, or for one rainy afternoon, but for the long haul?įirst of all, We need to understand that by their actions, the University Vice Chancellor and the Authorities in Government who stand by him are the primary provocation for this outburst of rage. The #Hokkolorob hasthag (‘Let There Be Clamour’ - ripping off a famous song by the Bangladeshi singer Arnab) spreading everywhere embodies the acrid yet fragrant air of the last few days. In the past few days, there have been also been protests in solidarity, in Delhi (at JNU, Banga Bhavan and Jantar Mantar), at IIT Chennai, IIT Mumbai and IIT Kharagpur, Pondicherry, Hyderabad and in Bangalore. There were students, ex students, professors, students from Presidency University, and many other colleges in Kolkata and the neighbourhood, there were many ordinary citizens, some who had never been university students, and many who had stopped being university students a long time ago. #HOKKOLOROB by Avyc n babi.More then one hundred thousand students and their friends (according to Kolkata Police estimates) defied the rain to walk in protest on September 20 against the assault on Jadavpur University by Kolkata Police, backed by an insensitive University Vice Chancellor and a cynical state government.
