It was 1848 when for the first time a student based organisation came into existence in India and it was the grand old man of India Dadabhai Navroji who founded the student’s scientific and historic society which later agitated and questioned many existing educational discrimination against the Indians under British rule. Though the purpose is to highlight the resisting nature of student’s politics against the exploitative nature of campuses.

It’s October and hence the season of campus elections. From Jawaharlal Nehru University to Hyderabad University including Delhi University, different campuses have chosen their representatives. And finally the historic Aligarh Muslim University too has its own student body although they are not fortunate enough to have this each year.

The colleges and universities in post-independence era have remained the soft hub for student’s politics and the place for dissent. Recently due to the Hindutva movement there has been shift in the mainstream national politics and so as the counter resistance emerged from the different Campus democracy in India proved to be a vibrant one in spite of various tilt.

AMUSu election 2016-17 has been recently conducted and union has been formed with three girls, for the first time ever in AMU history, joining the union cabinet. There are many expectations  over this body as especially Muslim along with other marginalised community expect its leadership from here. However, since past years there has been many questions from inside the campus as well as from the outside over its minimum participation in mainstream politics. Let’s hear what students from the campus have to say on it.
