The Jawaharlal Nehru University of New Delhi, India, founded in 1969, has historically stood out for its radical student activism and academic quality. For the very same reason, however, the university is now facing an unprecedented attack from the country's far-right government through repressive measures like slapping sedition charges against student activists, tampering with the university's progressive admission policy, fee-hike, and attempts at altering the general character of the campus space. Most recent in its efforts to curb campus democracy is the university's forceful removal of its vibrant graffiti, a significant part of JNU's political, academic, and pedagogic discourse since years. These posters present across the campus speak of the numerous people's struggles from across the world and stand testimony to the campus' radical character. True to its recent history of fighting state repression, JNU students refused to bow down to the administration's flawed narrative of a clean campus. On Tuesday, July 23rd, students from across the progressive political spectrum joined in protest at the university and pasted handwritten posters on its walls, reiterating revolutionary Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano's words that the walls are the publishers of the poor. JNU admin has come out with a notice saying that you cannot paste posters on the walls of JNU and this is against the ethos of JNU and culture of JNU and that's why we are protesting it and pasting our posters again. Posters and purchase and wall writings have always been a very integral part of JNU. It's a part of the JNU culture and all these posters, they don't give out one single message, they don't give out one single idea but these posters are from different organizations which believe in different politics, which practice different politics and there's always this space where we can exchange ideas even if we differ from each other. There's this space where we can sit and discuss and through our art we can express our various ideas and later on we can have a political discussion on it. That has always been a part of JNU and that is what JNU is known for. These processes of pasting posters in JNU, it was like it had healthy competition among the different organizations. Whole summer students used to spend more than 15 days to a month sitting down making out where they want to paste the posters, find out the spaces, then take the dimensions of that, then sit for 15-20 days researching on which photograph and which statement to be used, drawing them on the papers then printing those papers, drawing them and making those posters and it used to be like fun where every organization, all the different students from different organizations used to go around pasting those posters before the new students come in. Every year the posters on the walls change, every year they change and they reflect the political exigencies of that year. And now what the administration has done is they have removed all these posters in the name of cleaning the walls and etc. So obviously which is not just their intention is to carve down any space that we have to express our politics to express our opinion and in protest against that yesterday JNU SU held a mass poster making activity where students came from all across schools. We had poster making here outside the School of Social Sciences, we had poster making outside the School of Languages and School of International Studies and today we went out for a march and we are pasting these same posters on the walls from where they have been taken down. If you will see from 2016 the administration has come with so many track-on and medias in which J.S.Kashwa Reservations was cutler and now this circular of putting down the wall grapities is one more item to destroy JNU, to to to conquer a territory which is portrayed as anti-national in the mainstream media as well as from everywhere. So this is the main reason because they want to they want to give death to that JNU for which JNU is known. When the first vice chancellor of JNU Parthasarthi was asked that why students are posting posters on the walls of JNU, he said that this is a university inside a democracy. India is a democracy and therefore the campus will be democratic and let the walls speak for the students and whatever message we want to give to the students is pasted on the walls of JNU. It's very important that we express our politics not just through movements of course through movements but also through art and that is something we are not going to let go. We know that we will speak against all this because what this is what JNU stands for. From last three years we have fighted against this VC against his illegal finance and all that both politically as well as legally and in this time also we are ready to take this battle and we are not bothering about the VC and about his finance fine raj and all that and if he will come with such kind of a trek on and step on us we will take that battle politically and we will fight that also.
