Across the world today, students and youth are coming out into the streets against the prevailing order based on anti-people policies and imperialist aggression, Their voices resound with the chant that ‘Another World is possible’. AISA is a revolutionary students movement which stands firmly in the campuses throughout the country with a vision of “A New India and A New World.’ The formation of AISA in 1990 was the result of a long felt need for a platform for the revolutionary and democratic students movement. From the outset, it has defeated the communal politics in its bastions at Kumaon University, Allahabad University, and BHU. And in the Student union elections in JNU, AISA has over the years marched forward with the revolutionary red flag. In the years that followed, AISA has been at the forefront of all struggles for student rights as well as larger democratic issues. The founding conference of AISA was on 9th August, Kranti Divas, at Allahabad. The second national conference was held in Delhi in 1994, the third in 1998 at Patna, the fourth in Allahabad (2001), the fifth in Calcutta (2004), and the sixth has recently concluded at Muzaffarpur. Since its inception, AISA has mobilized the student community across campuses on issues such as opposing fee hikes, against the package of commercialization of education and the anti-student recommendations of Knowledge Commission, against the BJP’s communal-fascist politics and Congress’s anti-people economic policies. We have stood for declaring education and employment as basic rights and have opposed the attack on campus democracy and student rights in the name of the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations. We have spoken out and agitated against political surrender to the anti-people economic policies and American imperialism. In all these ways, AISA has redefined the student movement. It was fighting for these ideals and against the criminalization of politics that AISA’s prominent leader and two-time JNUSU president, Comrade Chandrasekhar was martyred in the Siwan district of Bihar. AISA is committed to carrying forward the revolutionary legacy of Bhagat Singh and Chandrasekhar and our journey will not stop at any cost, not without achieving our destination — the Revolutionary transformation of society. We give voice to student’s creative energy through processions, demonstrations, seminars, street plays, film shows and revolutionary songs on various issues of our times. We appeal you all to come with us and participate in all these activities and play a significant role in transforming society. Manifesto
AISA is a revolutionary, democratic students’ organization. We have led struggles for the democratization of campus life, for a pro-people and scientific education system and for the right to education and employment. Through mobilizing the revolutionary, left, democratic and liberal sections of the student community, we are committed to organizing a broad-based students’ movement as an important organ in the revolutionary transformation of Indian society. AISA derives it’s ideological path from the progressive ideologies of democratic movements. We believe that Marxism is the science of revolutionary change and human emancipation. Through waging a relentless struggle against reactionary ideologies and cultural values, we are committed towards a creative and popular propagation of scientific culture, democracy and modern thought. AISA integrates itself with all democratic movements of the Indian people. In giving them a coherent, democratic ideological and political line, we accept the role of CPI-ML as the true communist party. We emphasize the solidarity of the students’ movement with struggles of the working class, especially with revolutionary peasant struggles in our country. The formation of AISA in 1990 came about through the integration of student movements inspired by the ideological line of the Naxalbari peasant revolt as well as those who derived their understanding from the 1974 peoples’ movement in Bihar. Over the years, AISA has emerged as a popular left students’ organization struggling against the anti-student, anti-people right-wing organization like NSUI and ABVP, exposing at the same time opportunist and semi-anarchist trends in the left democratic movement. The hollow “left” rhetoric and ritual activities of SFI and AISF have become completely disconnected with the democratic aspirations of students and the dynamic student movement. Through following an opportunist ideological- political line, they have gradually declined and become marginalized forces in the student movement. Especially in the Hindi-Urdu speaking areas they could never become the representative forces of the aspirations of the student community. Similarly, AISA has provided a positive negation of the semi-anarchist tendencies of those organizations which identify with the Naxalbari movement but fail to distinguish the difference between the mass organization and the party. Failing to build a broad based student movement addressing the popular aspirations of the larger student community they have been reduced to many fighting sects. Ultimately, trapped in endless left “phrase mongering” they are gradually disintegrating as a force of the student movement. As opposed to this, AISA has led the struggle for a radical democratization of education, culture, society and politics. AISA wages a firm and uncompromising struggle against all reactionary organizations and lumpen leaders within the student movement. At each step, we have upheld the dignity and equality of women and stood for their participation and leadership in both the student movement and social life.In this light, as a successor and student of the glorious legacy of student struggles, AISA commits itself to stand against the prevailing backwardness of our country and its dependence on external powers, which has provided a fertile ground for fundamentalism, medieval barbarism, casteism and communal frenzy, causing a gradual erosion of our national sovereignty and subjecting India to the threat of neocolonialism. The alarming rise of communal fascism is not only a threat for our rich cultural legacy of communal harmony but has also posed a grave threat to nation building and the very foundations of democratic politics. To counter the monster of communal fascism and uphold a secular politics, AISA holds that religion is primarily an individual concern and should be completely separated from politics and from the institutions of governance. We struggle to carry forward the modern idea of secularism– “Sarva Dharma Varjate” as against the conventional notion of “Sarva Dharma Sambhav.”
We are committed to defending national sovereignty and revolutionary democracy. We also extend our solidarity to ongoing people’s movements against imperialism in Third World countries, just as we support democratic movements within these imperialist countries. As a leading force of the anti-imperialist democratic front of Asian students, the Asian Students Association (ASA), AISA endeavours to consolidate the unity and fraternity of the people of south Asia against the onslaught of imperialism.
