Are JNU Students creating youth awakening in the country ?

*Sadaket Malik

The very recent victory of a particular ideological leaning in world famous Jawahar lal Nehru University (JNU) is an eye opener for the entire country. The recent victory of a particular ideological leaning is an answer for cohesive social order and a way forward for good governance. This indicated that social fabric of a Society and democratic institutions in this country need to be preserved from corporate hegemony and religious bigotry.
      These frequent upheavals and a rising tide in democratic setup is a massage to emulate for the youth strata of our great nation, who were used and thrown by political mafia since time immemorial. The massage is clear, weather youth strata has been prey of religious bigotry, capitalist hegemony. The massage of youth encompases a system out of claws of fassiparious tendencies prevalent in the country.
The JNU Students groups has not only kept alive the democratic institutions but has by and large created a youth awakening in this country. Now the question is as to what extent such  lessons are emulated ?
Is this an early start of a socialist society or just a utopia, the creed of capitalism to be wiped with iron hands need a consistent resolutionary principles to destroy the repatriated building and create a new building at its place ? Indeed, the JNU upheavel is an effort to stem the rot.
     We are living in a society where there is  no free market economy, no progressive approach towards working class, the wealth is distributed unequally, country is controlled by a few corporates, The purpose analysing indian society should be to end the hegemony over its youth by a selected corporate section that has been established by at the pattern of American capitalist system. Another roadmap and a point of contention that JNU scholars stress is a class expolitation and social expolitation of people belonging to the varying communities and regions, castes and diverse identies.
The primary objective of any revolutionary movement in india like of JNU should be completely directed towards eliminating the youth expolitation and class expolitation from this great nation, the other youth issues for JNU included overhauling Education system and fund cut in educational sector that has indeed lowered the GDP rates.
             After several decades of independence, there is no substantial progress in eliminating the gap between rich and poor, it is evident from mass poverty prevailing in indian society and is a testimony of the age old expolitation by capitalist forces ruling the country, such coorporate hegemony is directly responsible for mass poverty and youth unemployment. Such practices are a form of globalised capitalism.
     The JNU students movement is an eye opner for the entire sub continent youth strata to end the coorporate feudalism that has been still a bottleneck for progress and economic development.
     Oflate, if emulated a lesson from JNU Students, there might be a paradigm shift of prevailing system and a new system will pave the progressive forces a way for new economic order.
