    Students have historically played an important role in politics and social movements in India. During the independence struggle, student groups organized mass protests and discussions to raise voices against British rule. Notable student leaders like Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev led revolutionary activities on college campuses that contributed to the movement for freedom. In modern times, large student unions like ABVP and NSUI participate in university elections and advocate for issues impacting students, though some argue that student politics can distract from studies and cause conflicts.

    STUDENTS AND POLITICS

    “In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”

    ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

    32nd President of United States Of America

    Politics is a truth, which experiment with good and evil welfare of the country and its people. A
    truth which attracts the crowd of all age, race, and religion without any discrimination. And as
    students are the essential building blocks of a country, they feel strongly about raising their
    voices for right and wrong. And there, politics provide them with a platform.

    In India during the struggle of independence, for the very first time student mass raise their
    voices. The student’s scientific and historic society was founded by Dadabhai Naoroji in 1848 as
    a discussion forum. This forum is considered as the beginning of student movement in India.

    The realm of student movement increases between 1906 and 1918, where 68 persons out of 184
    were students, who were convicted in Bengal for their participation in revolutionary activities. If
    not for the student mass movements started by Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev in their college time,
    which eventually lead us to our freedom, we might still be under the dark shadows of British Raj.
    Eventually NSUI, ABVP, AICUF and many more Student Union Parties were formed after our
    independence.

    Now-a-days, ABVP and NSUI are the main faces of student politics. Every year, after starting of
    new academic session in universities, like Delhi University(DU), Jawaharlal Nehru
    University(JNU) and Aligarh Muslim University(AMU) conducts elections where every party
    brings a list of changes they want to make.

    Side-by-side student politics also impacts our society too. Which creates chaos during election,
    factionalism, violence and students are also disembodied from their studies.

    Is students and politics a great mixture of path which can help us making right from wrong, in
    our country?
