DABMSA's Stand on ABVP

“Hinduism is not interested in the common man. Hinduism is not interested in society as a whole. The center of interest lies in a class, and its philosophy is concerned in sustaining and supporting the rights of that class. That is why in the philosophy of Hinduism, the interests of the common man as well as of society are denied, suppressed, and sacrificed to the interest of this class of Supermen (Brahmin).”
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar 

Renew our pledge against Communalism

Recently there are some murmurs of ABVP on campus.  Student community is slowly getting infiltrated with unashamed communalist talks.  Recently an ABVP poster appeared on our campus in connection with the Republic Day celebrations.   

Who are these people? What is ABVP? 

The people who are now seeking to establish communal, chauvinist and Brahminical ABVP on campus are those same people who were shouting against “religious fundamentalism” a few months back.  Then why this change in tune? Why this hypocrisy?

We will tell you the answer.  DABMSA in its history that spans over for more than a decade has established a strong secular culture on this campus. DABMSA has been constantly organizing programmes and alerting the university community on the dangers of Hindutva and all other religious fundamentalism.  Hence, all the people who were communalist inside were forced to wear the robes of secularism.

But recently the true colours of these people came out.  They are now exposed.  They think that DABMSA has become inactive and so the time is ripe for sowing the seeds of communalism in this campus. 

And what right do ABVP have to talk about social justice?  Since when has the Hindutva forces recognized the right of the marginalized?

We wish to tell you, DABMSA will fight communalism to its last member.

Who gave ABVP the right to put Ambedkar on its posters?  Have the guts and political honesty to project your own leaders.  Do not appropriate the leaders of the marginalized and then speak the tongue of the Brahmin.  This is our warning.

Nowhere else is Ambedkar a part of ABVP’s posters, not even in their party offices. Then why is it here in EFLU? That in itself is the victory of DABMSA – the victory of having established an alternative political culture.

Dear friends, join our fight.  Let us stop this communal venom right now and forever.
