Man to my left is Mr.Veneeth Mohan, He is the man like many who leave their home while their life hangs in balance. They live in Kerala facing #RedTerror against the brutal intolerance of CPI which murders those who belong to different school of though!
It doesn't matter which they kill Left, Right & Centre, former CPI, Congress, RSS, ABVP anyone who has his own opinion which doesn't please the State & its ideological Militia. Those who live in a bubble of pseudo intellect & raise debates about #Nationalism Vs #Patriotism should open their ears and hear us roar! Now now we are asking questions about strategic targeting of #Hindu girls for forced conversions and them being trafficked in the Middle East as sex slaves in the name of Jihad! Yes We are ready to face those who kill even for having a opinion of your own! Yes we are marching against authoritarian coverup! Wes we are marching against constant and brutal attacks since 1969! Yes we are marching against atrocities by CPI and their goons against a 5 month old to grown men and women who possess a spark of individuality, their own opinions and who believe in the spirit of this nation! Yes we are marching, MARCHING TO KERALA! #SaveKerala #ChaloKeralk

As I always do again I'm not going to narrate the whole #50thMahaABVPConf session by session. My twitter feed @EshaanGanpule and the official twitter handle of ABVP Maharashtra @MahaABVP will provide good glance at that! Woah! The Golden Jubilee conference of ABVP Maharashtra was held between 24,25 & 26 December at 'Mahatma Phule Nagar, Mhada Ground, Vandre, Mumbai' it's been weeks and yes I've experienced a great program like #ShivshaktiSangam after that and yet I find myself daydreaming about waking up in my room, Getting ready, Arriving at the venue walking up front sitting on our "Social Media Table" or going to our "Social Media War Room", Meeting great people like Varda Marathe, Pallavi Deshpande, Devashree Khare, Amit Tambulkar, Zankrut Sir, Raghav Risaldar,Nikhil Karampuri and get Tweeting!! All three days I was honored with the responsibility of Live Tweeting about the things underway on the Dias and Off The Dias. I've never picked up a pen or a paper the whole duration as I always do to make notes. I was just clicking Pictures, swooshing tweets and retweeting loads! But the whole thing a essence that came through shocked me! I've known ABVP as a non-political student organisation of the students, for the students and by the students. The first program I attended was a lecture on Chatrapati Shivaji and how youth should look up to him. The one I truly took part In was a state level workshop of TSVP which I helped organising I was their making arrangements, Gathering funds, taking care of the last detail of 'Niwas vyavastha', Dealing with caterer for what menu we wanted to serve and amidst all that getting familiar with student activism which was so pure at heart thinking about nation and trying to achieve its betterment via educational activism (I'm not going to claim I understood whole of ABVP then and their, Nor I Do now but You get the jist!!) The 3K+ activist gathered their showed me real components that unite to give ABVP such a Vast and wide scope. Apart from me each and every one their had their own version of ABVP in their mind, They were introduced to the Ideology of the organisation or the body of work through different mediums than me. As I've described I was Introduced to ABVP through a program but some of them were their after experiencing ABVP through participating in a agitation or Some after they participated in program or even attended one and were drawn to the Student activism like I did. Each and every one their had a different background and a different introduction of ABVP as well as he had his version of positive, Constructive and progressive student activism in mind. But all of us had one common thing in our mind, that's a thread of patriotism, A bond of Brotherhood, A will to serve Mother Nation to reach the top. Not just a vision but a Action in form of movement for nation, that spark unites us! I've read, though about and I've experienced ABVP as a activism for three years now but the absolute unification or as Shri.Sunil Ambekar said at the #61stABVPConf a progressive unfoldment of Spirit of Nation against my eyes was one to witness! That day I rediscovered ABVP once again as I saw the whole 'Saidhaantik Bhumika and Karya Paddhati' of ABVP unfold through small incidents! It was a Epiphany to me and I'm Glad I Witnessed It! I'm not going to narrate the whole #61stABVPConf but I'm going to focus on more on intellectual side of it! The star of the Conference was the speech session of National Organising secretary Shri. Sunilji Ambekar. The one in which he talked abut various aspects of #ABVP Within those he talked about the early days of #ABVP he said,"We used to think what will be the impact of #ABVP ? Will it be a student's body established for bound goals or are we here to impact future? Will we be bound to a person or a Thought? are we limited to spontaneous issues or are we able to function and deliver a long lasting Impact?". He further added,'We proved ourselves with working on philosophical and Ideological base composing a student's movement for nation" the essence of principles on which ABVP functions and the thought on which it's whole mechanism is based shows its roots in questions above! It's amazing to see The thoughts I adore and I Proudly try to incorporate in my personal life take shape from simple Ideas! Truly the Ideas that changed the face of student activism and still continue to do so after long 66 years! The well known structure of #ABVP that I'm familiar with embracing thought of anonymity, The idea of Greater Good, The thought of being Ideology centered instead of depending on a person, Leaving no room for Egos,Politics or Dirty game of Power; Constructing a large body of organisation consisting of students shows its roots deep in the answers of questions above. He further illustrated the Idea of 'Greater Good' Meaning the betterment that we propose being not Just Economic but Cultural too. As Culture Forms the Pride for Nation and To cement Spirit of nation Pride for nation is Vital. Painting the absolute dedication of ABVP to nation he stated, "In Case of Conflict of interest between our self and nation, nations Interest will prevail" To sum up the whole experience I'm again tempted to quote him,"Nationalism is a Great virtue which teaches us to connect. We are inclusive, We teach acceptance. It's a progressive unfoldment of national spirit." The thought that was a small bit in the whole Chain of Thoughts that inspired not just me but millions to join, Work and Keep working with ABVP is like a Torch and I Know that will burn till the great nation of Ours reclaims it's position top of the world! Being an activist of ABVP, The question I get asked most is, 'why am I a Student activist?'. Well I've had my run with it and now I'm writing to answer! The reason i was drawn towards Activism was simple. I used to romanticise about a perfect harmonious society, as I grew I began to understand real face of society, It's Mechanism and what's going wrong. As I was awaken to the harsh world beyond my oasis I was taken over by a wave, a cold wave of reality! I was disappointed and frustrated to see the corruption in Government, Profiteering in Education, Division in Society and Hypocrisy in Politics. At this time I was introduced with ABVP, the world's Largest Student Organisation, It taught me to see through to the governing Dynamics, The Solution of all problems we face, "Education" All inclusive yet conclusive Solution for all problems that our society faces today and also to Stand up and Raise my voice against the wrongs in the 'Education System' instead of whining about it! Yeah I was and Still am frustrated with the wrongs in society but ABVP taught me not to just Point out the wrongs but to correct them Democratically! ABVP also taught me not to plunge "Revolution" with means of 'Violence' when the system is faulty, but to Start 'Evolution' with positive and collective activism. ABVP taught me to include the thought of nation's betterment in my daily life. ABVP taught me to hold my head high and keep it straight in era where the wise are taunted and Hypocrites are Hailed! ABVP taught me to give back what i owe to society! ABVP taught me to Use my Skills (How few there may I Have) to help Others. ABVP taught me to Think, Act like and Be a True Student! ABVP taught me to Enrich my "Knowledge"! Enhance my "Character"! and Postulate "Unity"! ABVP also taught me not to just stand but stand United and Tall against all Wrongs in society in pursuit of Logic, Betterment, Unity, Brotherhood, Nation, Society and Truth! These are few among various reasons I became an Activist! |
