Re: [IAC#RG] TREAT STUDENT POLITICIAN AS POLITICIAN AND NOT AS STUDENT

Dear All

          Kerala has seen the pitiable way the so called 'student politicians' took the state to total collapse in all spheres of public life. They practiced indiscipline throughout their academic days and never ventured to spent time to grasp anything needed for a ruler or administrator. They are not patient enough to listen any topic having concern with the ruling class. They are not eligible or not able to concieve ideas required for a ruler as they never practiced in the areas of patient listening or understanding by readings as they were never experienced such positive thinkings required for an able ruler/administrator. From early childhood days they nurture and practice indiscipline and anarchical attitudes so much so they could cut only sorry figures as rulers and administrators. Ofcourse the medias of all kinds gives ample nourishments to make the students as politicians of the future. This is a tragedy this country faces as on today. The best ruler/administrator of the state was late Sri. Karunakaran and Nayanar whose academic credentials were not at all on par with student politicians. Governance is a quality one must acquire by learning and listening  which needs patience and perseverance which quality the student-politicians never acquire. Kerala now face the tragedy.

When I was a student in Annamalai University in Tamil Nadu, I attended a meeting addressed by Mr. V.V.Giri, former Vice President and President of India.

During the question and answer session, I asked Mr.V.V.Giri as to whether the students can get themselves involved in political activities. Mr. V.V. Giri replied without hesitation that students should do the following three things, namely study, study and study.

Mr. Giri  who was an active trade union leader before becoming the Vice President of India pointed out that students should know politics but should not involve themselves in politics, as it would divert the attention from the primary task of studying and learning. Students getting involved in politics is neither in their interest nor in the interest of the nation.

The recent incidents in J N U, Delhi , where students planned cultural programme to protest against the hanging of Afzal Guru, the agitation by students in Hyderabad University when a student committed suicide and the support readily given to such agitations by politicians , only highlight the fact that politics have made deep inroads in the academic institutions and universities.

In recent times in Tamil Nadu,  several students have indulged in rowdy like behavior and frequently indulged in condemnable acts such as fighting between themselves with knives, hijacking the transport buses and even murdering teachers. Many of such students have affiliations to one political party or the other and if the police would initiate action against them, politicians interfere in their support.

It is seen that more than 95% of the students are interested only in academic pursuits. Only  minority  of students who have criminal mind set or who want to launch themselves as politicians in future, indulge in such rowdy like behavior.  Unfortunately, the print and visual media give huge publicity to such deplorable activities of small group of students, which virtually amount to encouraging  them,  as these politicians in the making get all the publicity that they want.

In this scenario, it is appropriate that the Government of India has taken action against the agitating JNU students  and strongly deplored their behavior. As expected, several politicians in the opposition parties and some so called activists criticize the  action of the government of India with  ready made statements such as curtailing the freedom and reminiscence of the emergency days etc. As usual, the print and visual media give more publicity and space  to the activities of the student and utterances of the critical politicians, than the views of the government.

It is high time that we treat the student  politician as politician and not as student and refrain from giving the benefit of treating  with kid gloves.
