University of Hyderabad Students' Union Elections 2023(UoHSU) and my experience.

Ambedkar Students' Association (ASA)-UoH is not an organization, it's a Social Movement. When Mondal commission was going to implement for OBCs we have seen a tremendous protest from Brahminical forces against the implementation of Mondal commission the countries capital was occupied by them where students from mainly DU was leading the Brahminical forces and when Tsunduru Massacre was going on against Dalit at that juncture our Dalit-Bahujan scholars from UoH came up with Ambedkar Students' Association (ASA) as an autonomous students organization to assert our own  identity who were deprived in the Brahminical society for thousands of years. For a long time, a gaze of criminalisation has been fixed on Dalit-Bahujan people, always suspected for criminality and disorder. But from the day of University General Body Meeting (UGBM) to declaration of elections result, the students of ASA exposed the falsity and prejudice inherent in the gaze, by maintaing perfect discipline and decorum despite of all provocations from Right wing Brahminical forces. We have taught the campus community how student politics should be. We have fought this elections under the leadership of a Dalit woman lady Sabari Girija Rajan  who is happens to be the first woman President of ASA. Spending lakhs of rupees on DJ nights, cultural programme, city tour, flights ticket from Delhi to Hyderabad by Right wing Brahmical forces and University guest house become war room for them during the elections time. The day when ASA has announced it's candidatures specially the Presidential candidate Prajwal Gaikwad  was facing a preplanned, structured organized attack from all the side, from character assassination to what not. Within a night thousands of mail of character assassination was circulated to whole University students in to their official e-mail I'd by people of outside campus.Where to get a official mail I'd from admin we wait days and days how they get access of all the official mail id and circulate it within one night. The Brahminical right wing forces tried every kind of dirty politics and tricks only to fight against the first generation Dalit-Bahujans learners of ASA, apart from electoral win this fear in the mind of Brahmanical forces is a moral victory for ASA. When we were marching from Ambedkar Auditorium to North Shop Com to garland brother Rohith's stupa after the final declaration of elections result one Comrade from SFI asked me "Rupam why you are looking sad, today is for celebration." I was just going through the all their dirty politics and tricks how much they are desperate of seeing our leaders leading the caravan of Babasaheb. Our leaders has given their life and the carrier for ASA. ASA did everything for marginalized people in the campus of UoH except Taking Guns into our hands. Without having any parent organization inside and outside the campus surviving for nearly 30 years fighting every moment with Brahminical Administration of UoH  shows ASA's commitment towards social justice. Last but not the least if asserting our own identity who were deprived for thousands of years from Brahminical forces  is Casteism then yes we all are proudly Casteist.  Long live ASA.

Why should we consider celebrating Teachers' day on January 3rd instead of 5th September.

Why should we consider celebrating Teachers' Day on January 3rd instead of September 5th? When Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was Vice President in 1954 he got Bharat Ratna from his President. When he become President of India then he told that instead of celebrating my birthday, it would be my proud privilege if 5th September is observed as Teachers' day. Even he sent his name 26th times for the Noble Prize. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan writes in his book 'The Hindu Way of Life', I will quote him here. " The four castes represent men of thought, men of action, men of feeling and others in whom none of these is highly developed."  "It is a point of social honour for every member to marry within his own caste. While every attempt  should be made to energise the weak and the lowly by education and moral suasion, indiscriminate marriage relations do not seem to be always desirable...If a member of a first-class family marries another of poor antecedents the good inher

SC status to Pasmanda Muslims and Dalit Christians and existing Scheduled Caste.

Before I start giving my opinion on the issue of reservations for Pasmanda Muslims and Dalit Christians, I want to recall a Lok Sabha debate where MP and leader of the AIMIM party, Asaduddin Owaisi, was advocating for a law similar to the SC/ST Prevention Act of 1989 for the Muslim community in India. According to him, every day Muslims in India have to listen to statements like "They are Pakistani" or "They are traitors," and this is not false at all. I have seen people saying similar things to my Christian friends, accusing them of being "agents of America" in India. These communities also deserve a respectful life in this democratic nation. I have full solidarity with the government in enacting any law that promotes their social dignity. I am aware that there is a significant socio-economic gap between Ashraf Muslims and Pasmanda Muslims. There should be a solution for them too, but obviously not at the cost of us (SC/ST). The concept of "Pasmanda&

Caste, Class and the question of Reservation.

Class doesn't exist in India it is replaced by Caste.Caste is a Brahmin question, it's not a Dalit-Bahujan questions. Annihilation of caste is only possible by Brahmins not by others because they are the owner's of the caste.Basically discrimination happens on the basis of caste in India.No matter how much rich or powerful a Dalit-Bahujan is he/she have to face caste discrimination in his/her life as an example the President of India Ramnath Kovind was insulted in a Temple in Puri, Odisha because of his caste identity.  Forget about other Dalit-Bahujan people. A 9th failed Baman can insult a well educated Dali-Bahujan because of his caste identity. Affirmative action is not a poverty alleviation programme, it's about representation. If any person is poor then question your government, demand proper scheme of poverty alleviation, the person is poor because of the ignorance of the state. Discrimination happens in the name of caste so reservation wi
