The Search for Men of Honour

"If you think you are beaten even before the battle begins chances are you can never win."-Author Unknown



Do you know YUVA was a true story of a guy called George Reddy from Osmania University. Lecturers were afraid to teach because they weren't confident they could answer his questions, he was outstanding. Apart form being academically brilliant he was a prominent student leader and everyone was sure he would win a seat in assembly. George reddy fought against politically powered devils & bureaucrats, to every one’s shock George Reddy was killed by ABVP activists (another student group and inner organization of BJP) this happened around mid 80’s. Students who were all educated in and around Osmania University limits know about the war of George Reddy. We lost a great student leader, whose dream did not come true until this day.



Many Indians seem to firmly believe that it is impossible to change our society, but we can't allow the fear of failure or persecution prevent us from trying to do something we know needs to be done. We would never do anything in life if we feared failure, it didn't stop our forefathers from fighting for our freedom though many were killed in the process (It doedn't stop me from lighitng the stove even though I hear about gas cylinder explosions) . Just imagine what would have happened if people like Gandhiji,Abraham Lincoln, Neslon Mandela, etc never existed or worse they never ever tried to do something for their Countries. And these were ordinary men to begin with but made extra-ordinary contribution to world history.



In our present day we have people like George reddy, S.K.Dubey (who sent a letter to PM about a scam and he got killed later on) who tried to bring about some change in our society but couldn't, is it because they were individual attempts and may have lacked proper support and organization after all Gandhiji wasn't alone when he peformed Satyagraha.

In India you can say there are about 10-20% of the people who are the oppressors, the guys with the power and who misuse it and the rest I believe are just victims at some point or the other. And though the victims out number the oppressors we lack the unity and the courage to stand firmly behind the guy who atleast dares to stand up against these oppressors. Once the guy who dares to stand up is taken out of the way the whole movement seems to die. Everyone gets back to their normal lives and they seem to be content with the way things are rather than trying to make things better. You see movies like YUVA which were supposed to encourage the

youth to get into politics to help our country, but then just as the posters come off people seem to forget all about the message. I would go something beyond YUVA and not limit myself to just 3 people, I would say form a party with all honest, sincere, intelligent guys young or old and if they can come to power don't you think things would change. Is it difficult to find these honorable men from the 800 million of victims of the system?



Unless we put up an Ad in the Classifieds "Required Men of Honour to lead our country".

It seems difficult to bring these men out from the crowd and also even more difficult would to make them stay united. But when the american youth who are considered cultureless and with loose morals can cause a major havoc during the Vietnam war by rebelling against their governemt can't we, the more refined and cultured Indians help find these Honourable Men and lead our country towards a better tomorrow.

about student unions in hyderabad, it all depends on which campus u go to,and the main campuses politically inclined with energy would have to be OU, AV college and Nizams, at a major level. On a minor scale, there would be other campuses, but i am not sure if they would be as bubbling with activioty as the ones i ve mentioned. this is stats from more 3 years ago, things might have changed now, but as of then, at OU campus, the main players are still SFI, PDSU and ABVP. PDSU being an extrmeme left radical student face party, SFI, more modrate left party, then is ABVP, who more often tend to be the culture police than anything else, and as u might have guessed, it is a right wing party. In AV college, the presence of the left parties is not known very well, but the major player there are ABVP and NSUI which is the student face of the INC, and they still are the major players in Nizams as well. wll, actually speaking, there was nt much NSUI at nizams 5 years ago and the domain belonged to ABVP, but a few initatives by a few people changed the scene big time.

SFI was a very strong force almost 4 yrs back and it was in almost every college and university (it's the student wing of CPI) and it was effective as well bringing radical thoughts and demanding the management and other authorities for improvements, etc.



But later on, it's ABVP that has been active. Added to that, PDSU was active too, in Osmania University campus especially. NSUI, the student wing of Congress also exists but for a few leaders, it's impact is minimal.



These days, the student organisations are not as strong as they used to be once upon a time. In Engg colleges, the presence of these organisations is almost NIL but in Degree colleges and University Collegese, they exist.
