History

 
Administration building at JNU

Jawaharlal Nehru University was established in 1969 by an act of parliament.[6] It was named after Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister. G. Parthasarathy was the first vice-chancellor.[7] Prof. Moonis Raza was the Founder Chairman and Rector.[8][9] The bill for the establishment of Jawaharlal Nehru University was placed in the Rajya Sabha on 1 September 1965 by the then-Minister of Education, M. C. Chagla. During the discussion that followed, Bhushan Gupta, member of parliament, voiced the opinion that this should not be yet another university. New faculties should be created, including scientific socialism, and one thing that this university should ensure was to keep noble ideas in mind and provide accessibility to students from weaker sections of society. The JNU Bill was passed in Lok Sabha on 16 November 1966 and the JNU Act came into force on 22 April 1969.[10]

The Indian School of International Studies was merged with the Jawaharlal Nehru University in June 1970. Following the merger, the prefix "Indian" was dropped from the name of the School and it became the School of International Studies of the Jawaharlal Nehru University.[11]

Student life

Students’ Union

Main article: Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union

Jawaharlal Nehru University Students` Union or JNUSU is the university-wide representative body for students at the university. It is an elected body.

2008-12 Ban on Student Elections

On 24 October 2008 the Supreme Court of India stayed the JNU elections and banned the JNUSU for not complying with the recommendations of the Lyngdoh committee.[note 1][28] After a prolonged struggle and multi-party negotiations, the ban was lifted on 8 December 2011.[29] After a gap of more than four years, interim elections were scheduled again on 1 March 2012.[30] Following the election results declared on 3 March 2012, All India Students Association (AISA) candidates won all four central panel seats and Sucheta De, the president of AISA became the president of JNUSU.[31]

International Student's Association

The International Student's Association (ISA) is an official Jawaharlal Nehru University body. It was instituted in 1985 with a view to promoting friendly relations and cultural exchange. The ISA has a constitution and elected executive, cultural, advisory and financial committees. All foreign students of JNU are also members of the FSA. The university has 133 international students.[32]

Activism and controversy

The JNU is infused with an intense political life on campus. Students that leave campus are said to acquire a "permanently changed outlook on life" as a result of the student politics. The politicisation of campus life has led to a refusal to brush under the carpet social issues such as feminism, minority rights, social and economic justice. All such issues are debated fiercely in formal and informal gatherings.[33]

 
A sign near the JNU administrative building after the Delhi High Court ruled that students cannot hold protests within a 100-meter periphery of the university's administrative block.[34][35][36][37]

The JNU student politics is left-of-centre even though, in recent years, right-wing student groups have also entered the field. Political involvement is "celebratory in spirit." The student union elections are preceded by days of debates and meetings, keeping all students involved. The JNU has the reputation of an "unruly bastion of Marxist revolution." However, the student activists deny the charge, stating that the politics at JNU is issue-based and intellectual.[33]

The university is known for its alumni who now occupy important political and bureaucratic positions (see Notable alumni below). In part, this is because of the prevalence of Centre-left student politics and the existence of a written constitution for the university to which noted Communist Party of India leader Prakash Karat contributed exhaustively during his education at JNU.[38]

2010 Operation Green Hunt Controversy

In 2010 a "JNU Forum Against War on People" was organised "to oppose Operation Green Hunt launched by the government."[39] According to the NSUI national general secretary, Shaikh Shahnawaz, the meeting was organised by the Democratic Students' Union (DSU) and All India Students Association (AISA) to "celebrate the killing of 76 CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh."[39] Shaikh Shahnawaz also stated that "they were even shouting slogans like 'India murdabad, Maovad zindabad'."[39][note 2] NSUI and ABVP activists undertook a march against this meeting,[39] "which was seen as an attempt to support the Naxalites and celebrate the massacre,"[42] after which the various parties clashed.[39] The organisers of the forum said that "the event had nothing to do with the killings in Dantewada"[43]

2015 Opposition to Saffronisation

In 2015, the JNU Students' Union and the All India Students Association objected to efforts to create instruction on Indian culture. Opposition to such courses was on the basis that such instruction was an attempt to saffronise education.[44] Saffronisation refers to right-wing efforts to glorify ancient Hindu culture. The proposed courses were successfully opposed and were, thus, "rolled back." A former student of JNU and a former student union member, Albeena Shakil, claimed that BJP officials in government were responsible for proposing the controversial courses.[45]

2015 Rainbow Walk

On 28 December 2014, the symbolic "Rainbow Tree" which stood for LGBTQ pride was vandalised.[46] To counter the "growing homophobia" on the campus, JNU Students' Union along with other queer groups like Anjuman and Dhanak, led a march on 9 January, called Rainbow Walk.[46] The march started from JNU's Ganga Dhaba and ended at the Rainbow Tree spot.[47] The protestors criticised the 2013 verdict of the Supreme Court nullifying the Delhi High Court order reading down Section 377 of the IPC.[46] The campaign aimed at celebrating individual right to sexual freedom and identity.[46] The march was filled with songs and slogans; the students also painted a zebra crossing in rainbow colours and wrapped trees with rainbow coloured threads.[48]

2016 sedition controversy

Main article: 2016 JNU sedition controversy

On 9 February, a cultural evening was organised by 10 students, formerly of the Democratic Students' Union (DSU), at the Sabarmati Dhaba, against the execution of 2001 Indian Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and separatist leader Maqbool Bhat, and for Kashmir's right to self-determination.[49] "Anti-India" slogans like "Pakistan Zindabad" ("Long live Pakistan"), "Kashmir ki azadi tak jung chalegi, Bharat ki barbadi tak jung chalegi" ("War will continue till Kashmir's freedom, war will continue till India's demolition") were reportedly raised at the protest meet."[49][50] Protests by members of ABVP were held at the University demanding expulsion of the student organisers.[51]

JNU administration ordered a "disciplinary" enquiry into the holding of the event despite denial of permission, saying any talk about country's disintegration cannot be "national".[52] The Delhi Police arrested the JNU Students' Union President Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid on charges of sedition and criminal conspiracy, under section 124 of the Indian Penal Code dating back to 1860.[53][54]

The arrest soon snowballed into a major political controversy, with several leaders of opposition parties visiting the JNU campus in solidarity with the students protesting against the police crackdown.[55] More than 500 academics from around the world, including JNU alumni, released a statement in support of the students.[56] In a separate statement, over 130 world-leading scholars including Noam Chomsky, Orhan Pamuk and Akeel Bilgrami called it a "shameful act of the Indian government" to invoke sedition laws formulated during colonial times to silence criticism.[57][58] The crisis was particularly concerning to some scholars studying nationalism.[citation needed] On 25 March 2016, the Google Maps search for 'anti national' led users to JNU campus.[59]

Swami Vivekananda Statue

The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi inaugurated 151-inch tall statue of Swami Vivekananda on 151st Jayanti of Jainacharya Shree Vijay Vallabh Surishwer Ji Maharaj and referred as the Statue of Peace whereas the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union protested outside the JNU campus and raised slogans such as ‘Uninvited Modi Go Back’, ‘Punish the perpetrators of January 5th attack’, ‘Save Public Education’ and ‘Unlock JNU’ among others.[60][61]

In November 2019, the yet-to-be inaugurated statue of Swami Vivekananda in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus was vandalised, with slogans against the BJP painted on the floor around the statue.[62][63][64] Students of the university, however, denied their involvement and termed it an act by some miscreants to discredit the JNU Students Union movement against the varsity administration against fee hike and hostel manual. A group of students later wiped off the slogans painted near the statue.[65]

Campus Violence

1981 46 days lockdown

JNU was shutdown for 46 days by Indian government in 1981 after violence by student unions linked to communist parties.[66]

2000 Army Officers Scuffle

In April 2000, two army officers who disturbed an Indo-Pak mushaira at the JNU campus were beaten up by agitated students.[67] The officers were angered by anti-war poems recited by two Pakistani poets[67] and disrupted the mushaira.[68] They were enraged at the recited lines of a poem by Urdu poetess, Fahmida Riaz Tum bhi bilkul hum jaise nikle ("It turned out you were just like us") and interpreted the lines as a criticism of India.[69] One of them started to shout anti-Pakistan slogans.[68] When the audience asked for silence. They were overpowered by security[69] and then beaten by students, though not seriously injured.[68][70] The Indian Army denied the charges and it was reported that the two army officers were admitted in hospitals.[71] A retired judge was appointed to probe the accusation.[72]

2019 protest and 2020 attack

Main article: Jawaharlal Nehru University attack

On 13 November 2019, the JNU administration raised the fees of the university.[73] Since 28 October 2019, some students of JNU had been protesting against the fee hike.[74][75][76][77] As a part of this protest, students boycotted the final semester examinations. After protests, the university partially rolled back by reducing fees only for students from families with extreme poverty (BPL category) who do not avail any scholarship. The move did not convince the students as there was no rollback in the fee hike for non-BPL category students neither for BPL students availing a scholarship.[78] To press the administration for a complete rollback of the increase in fees, JNUSU had continued the protests.[79][80][81] The semester registration with the revised fee was started by 1 January.

On 5 Jan 2020, a group of masked vandals entered the campus, destroyed property and beat up several people.[82][83] This included students and professors. This drew widespread condemnation from the public, with opposition parties, Bollywood celebrities and human rights activists expressing their concerns.[84]

2022 Resistance to ban on non-veg food

In April 2022, a group of students from ABVP attacked the canteen staff and students on serving non-vegetarian food. A clash between students in resistance to the efforts of ABVP to ban non-veg and several students were injured.[85] Delhi police registered an FIR against unidentified ABVP students.[86]Netizen commented this as denial of freedom and a continuation of attack against Muslims in India.[87]

Elections On 24 October 2008 the Supreme Court of India stayed the JNU elections and banned the JNUSU for not complying with the recommendations of the Lyngdoh committee note 1 28 After a prolonged struggle and multi party negotiations the ban was lifted on 8 December 2011 29 After a gap of more than four years interim elections were scheduled again on 1 March 2012 30 Following the election

Student s Association The International Student s Association ISA is an official Jawaharlal Nehru University body It was instituted in 1985 with a view to promoting friendly relations and cultural exchange The ISA has a constitution and elected executive cultural advisory and financial committees All foreign students of JNU are also members of the FSA The university has 133 international students 32 Activism and controversy The JNU is infused with an intense political life on campus Students that leave campus are said to acquire a permanently changed outlook on life as a result of the student politics The politicisation of campus life has led to a refusal to brush under the carpet social issues such as feminism minority rights social and economic justice All such issues are debated fiercely in formal and informal gatherings 33 A sign near the JNU administrative building after the Delhi High Court ruled that students cannot hold protests within a 100 meter periphery of the university s administrative block 34 35 36 37 The JNU student politics is left of centre even though in recent years right wing student groups have also entered the field Political involvement is celebratory in spirit The student union elections are preceded by days of debates and meetings keeping all students involved The JNU has the reputation of an unruly bastion of Marxist revolution However the student activists deny the charge stating that the politics at JNU is issue based and intellectual 33 Iconic statue of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru at administrative block of JNU The university is known for its alumni who now occupy important political and bureaucratic positions see Notable alumni below In part this is because of the prevalence of Centre left student politics and the existence of a written constitution for the university to which noted Communist Party of India leader Prakash Karat contributed exhaustively during his education at JNU 38 2010 Operation Green Hunt Controversy In 2010 a JNU Forum Against War on People was organised to oppose Operation Green Hunt launched by the government 39 According to the NSUI national general secretary Shaikh Shahnawaz the meeting was organised by the Democratic Students Union DSU and All India Students Association AISA to celebrate the killing of 76 CRPF personnel in Chhattisgarh 39 Shaikh Shahnawaz also stated that they were even shouting slogans like India murdabad Maovad zindabad 39 note 2 NSUI and ABVP activists undertook a march against this meeting 39 which was seen as an attempt to support the Naxalites and celebrate the massacre 42 after which the various parties clashed 39 The organisers of the forum said that the event had nothing to do with the killings in Dantewada 43 2015 Opposition to Saffronisation In 2015 the JNU Students Union and the All India Students Association objected to efforts to create instruction on Indian culture Opposition to such courses was on the basis that such instruction was an attempt to saffronise education 44 Saffronisation refers to right wing efforts to glorify ancient Hindu culture The proposed courses were successfully opposed and were thus rolled back A former student of JNU and a former student union member Albeena Shakil claimed that BJP officials in government were responsible for proposing the controversial courses 45 2015 Rainbow Walk On 28 December 2014 the symbolic Rainbow Tree which stood for LGBTQ pride was vandalised 46 To counter the growing homophobia on the campus JNU Students Union along with other queer groups like Anjuman and Dhanak led a march on 9 January called Rainbow Walk 46 The march started from JNU s Ganga Dhaba and ended at the Rainbow Tree spot 47 The protestors criticised the 2013 verdict of the Supreme Court nullifying the Delhi High Court order reading down Section 377 of the IPC 46 The campaign aimed at celebrating individual right to sexual freedom and identity 46 The march was filled with songs and slogans the students also painted a zebra crossing in rainbow colours and wrapped trees with rainbow coloured threads 48 2016 sedition controversy Main article 2016 JNU sedition controversy On 9 February a cultural evening was organised by 10 students formerly of the Democratic Students Union DSU at the Sabarmati Dhaba against the execution of 2001 Indian Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and separatist leader Maqbool Bhat and for Kashmir s right to self determination 49 Anti India slogans like Pakistan Zindabad Long live Pakistan Kashmir ki azadi tak jung chalegi Bharat ki barbadi tak jung chalegi War will continue till Kashmir s freedom war will continue till India s demolition were reportedly raised at the protest meet 49 50 Protests by members of ABVP were held at the University demanding expulsion of the student organisers 51 JNU administration ordered a disciplinary enquiry into the holding of the event despite denial of permission saying any talk about country s disintegration cannot be national 52 The Delhi Police arrested the JNU Students Union President Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khalid on charges of sedition and criminal conspiracy under section 124 of the Indian Penal Code dating back to 1860 53 54 The arrest soon snowballed into a major political controversy with several leaders of opposition parties visiting the JNU campus in solidarity with the students protesting against the police crackdown 55 More than 500 academics from around the world including JNU alumni released a statement in support of the students 56 In a separate statement over 130 world leading scholars including Noam Chomsky Orhan Pamuk and Akeel Bilgrami called it a shameful act of the Indian government to invoke sedition laws formulated during colonial times to silence criticism 57 58 The crisis was particularly concerning to some scholars studying nationalism citation needed On 25 March 2016 the Google Maps search for anti national led users to JNU campus 59 Swami Vivekananda Statue The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi inaugurated 151 inch tall statue of Swami Vivekananda on 151st Jayanti of Jainacharya Shree Vijay Vallabh Surishwer Ji Maharaj and referred

days lockdown JNU was shutdown for 46 days by Indian government in 1981 after violence by student unions linked to communist parties 66 2000 Army Officers Scuffle In April 2000 two army officers who disturbed an Indo Pak mushaira at the JNU campus were beaten up by agitated students 67 The officers were angered by anti war poems recited by two Pakistani poets 67 and disrupted the mushaira 68 They were enraged at the recited lines of a poem by Urdu poetess Fahmida Riaz Tum bhi bilkul hum jaise nikle It turned out you were just like us and interpreted the lines as a criticism of India 69 One of them started to shout anti Pakistan slogans 68 When the audience asked for silence They were overpowered by security 69 and then beaten by students though not seriously injured 68 70 The Indian Army denied the charges and it was reported that the two army officers were admitted in hospitals 71 A retired judge was appointed to probe the accusation 72 2019 protest and 2020 attack Main article Jawaharlal Nehru University attack On 13 November 2019 the JNU administration raised the fees of the university 73 Since 28 October 2019 some students of JNU had been protesting against the fee hike 74 75 76 77 As a part of this protest students boycotted the final semester examinations After protests the university partially rolled back by reducing fees only for students from families with extreme poverty BPL category who do not avail any scholarship The move did not convince the students as there was no rollback in the fee hike for non BPL category students neither for BPL students availing a scholarship 78 To press the administration for a complete rollback of the increase in fees JNUSU had continued the protests 79 80 81 The semester registration with the revised fee was started by 1 January On 5 Jan 2020 a group of masked vandals entered the campus destroyed property and beat up several people 82 83 This included students and professors This drew widespread

students from ABVP attacked the canteen staff and students on serving non vegetarian food A clash between students in resistance to the efforts of ABVP to ban non veg and several students were injured
