New Delhi: Campus Front of India, a nationwide students movement is celebrating its 10th Anniversary on the theme Decade of Dignity. Being a student movement which educates the students to respond against the social evils, we aware the students about their moral responsibility to act against in justice. Campus Front took strong stand against the deep rooted fascist Ideology which destructs the unity in diversity concept of India. The hate politics and religious polarization propagated by RSS through Lynching, Hate speeches, Saffronization etc endanger the idea of India. The minority communities and Oppressed has been facing serious identity issues like Casteism, Islamophobia through the Brahminical Supremacy propounded by Hindutva brigades. Here the student community has lot much to do for creating a society of equal Justice and opportunity to all. Students were considered as the backbone of every society and they are the vital force to construct a welfare nation. The only hope and responsibilities to overcome the Hate politics and anti people policies of the Government vested on students. The struggle which we saw in the recent past was actually emerged out from Indian Campuses. So they are targeted to suppress by using different machineries of the state. The only opposition of this country has been facing frequent rustication and show cause threats which slow down the spirit of activisms. Here Campus Front urged the students to awake and speak up for rights and justice by breaking all the conventional hate propagandas of the state. Building up confidence to the society to fight against fascism by applying the power of education should be the priority of the students. The 10 year long journey of Campus Front taught the students to live with dignity rather than adopting compromising measure against injustice. A Dignity conference is scheduled on 6 Nov 2019 at the Talkatora stadium New Delhi. The programme will be commenced form 2 pm on wards. Students from prominent universities are expected to participate in the programme. We invite every media to cover this historic student conference which is going to be a milestone in the struggle against fascism and uphold the constitution.

Govt must bear expenses of Kashmiri students:Campus Front
Campus Front National committee demands that the government should bear the expenses of Kashmiri students in different parts of the country who are not able to meet their needs after the shutdown imposed on Kashmir. The students are dependent on their families for all their needs. Since the communication lock out placed along with the abrogation of article 370 there were numerous reports of kashmiri students not able to pay their bills being unable to contact their families. There are students who are made to vacate hostels and drop studies. The BJP government has been staying insensitive to these accounts since. This is highly objectionable. The government has to shoulder responsibility to ease the sufferings of students caused by its decisions. The government has to immediately devise plans to support students who are under impasse after its abrupt decision on Kashmir. Campus Front has decided to provide legal aid to students who are subjects to the sheer injustice.

_Lok Sabha Election 2019_ DEFEAT THE POLITICS OF HATE
The largest democratic country in the world is ahead of another general election. The election to the 543 constituencies will make up the 17th Lok Sabha. The 2019 General Election has attained international attention in the backdrop of the ascendance of rightwing powers globally. The people of the country are literally disappointed under BJP government due to its pro-rich anti-people policies. The govt's anti-people policies and hate politics have divided the country again in terms of economic condition and religious belief. Under the BJP government, the rich became more affluent and the life of the poor became more vulnerable than ever. Religious polarization has deepened. Demonetization and implementation of GST worsened the economic condition of bottom classes. Small scale and village industries, even after two years of demonetization, have not survived yet. Deliberate and continuous attack over the public sector in favour of private actors critically destructed public institutions. Farmers’ suicide rate break the records. The entire government is accused of corruption and it is first time in the Indian history that a Prime Minister is directly involved in a scam- Rafale deal; the PM cheated the whole country for the favour of a single person. For youth, the unemployment rate has hit high at 7.2 per cent and our country’s workforce has shrunken to 28 million from 30 million today. It proved that the overhyped ‘Make in India’ and ‘Skill India’ programmes were a mere political hoax. The people have lost respect in law and order due to the never ending attacks on minority communities in the last four years. International reports state that more than 50 lives have lost in the name of cow terror. Police encounters in BJP ruled Uttar Pradesh has violated all human rights values. Kashmir valley is soaked with blood more than ever and assault over Kashmiri students and merchants fueled by Sangh Parivar has steeped after Pulwama tragedy. Inadequate budget allocation and prolonged fund-cuts in the education sector degenerated the quality of education and resulted in the stagnation of infrastructure development of the schools. The government has delved into saffronising the whole education system by planting unqualified Sangh Parivar agents in the reputed institutions and manipulating history, in textbooks. Even the Supreme Court of India had to stop and faced the press, the fourth estate and accused the political intervention of BJP government in the daily administration of the SC. The only beneficiaries of the BJP government is the ultra-rich businessmen of the country. In short, all Constitutional bodies and non-constitutional bodies of our Country have been impaired by the Hindutva forces. India is desperately in search of an alternative which speaks for people’s politics and fight against the real enemy of nation’s development and harmony of the people - ie Hindutva. The general election 2019 presents a golden opportunity for rescuing the idea of India. The voters of the country should exercise the power of democracy intelligently. Young India can decide the future of our democracy at this historical juncture and we should recognize the bogus candidates and parties from their false promises who failed to hinder the fascist groups even after the seven decades of Independence. We appeal the students to exercise vote against Hindutva forces and their supporters. Campus Front of India urges to defeat the politics of hate and regain the idea of India. *MS Sajid* *National President* *Campus Front of India*

Stand with Dr Vikram Harijan Fight against caste discrimination in academic institutions
Campus Front of India national delegation visited Dr. Vikram Harijan, Assistant Professor, Allahabad University who was subjected to attacks by ABVP and subsequent harassment at the hands of Allahabad University administration and expressed solidarity with him. Terror squads of ABVP threatens the professor over his opinion on history, expressed in a program conducted outside the campus. This is a part of the wider agenda to strong-arm the professors who decry RSS. The hindutwa forces do not want the critical thoughts and rationality to nourish in their regime of fervent emotionalism. But the university administration which is bound to protect a free academic environment joining hands with ABVP against its professor is outrageous. Show cause notice given to the Dalit professor is a clear manifestation of the casteist attitude of the administration and is an attempt to legalize bullying by ABVP. The haste with which the show cause notice was given is absent in providing necessary security to the professor who is continuously receiving threat messages and expressed his fears over possible lynching. Campus front exhorts the students and academic community to come forward in fight against caste discrimination in academic institutions. national secretary S.Muhammed Rashid and treasurer Atique Rahman were present in the delegation
