“College ke gate ke is paar hum duniya ko nachate hai aur us paar duniya hume… tum lak lak tum tum lak lak”


Farah Aziz Khanum, a 23-year-old journalism student, AMU

In a shocking case of moral policing, a young student of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) was harassed and abused for wearing western wear to the University.
Farah Aziz Khanum, a 23-year-old journalism student of AMU was walking to the university in her regular jeans and T-shirt last week, when she experienced an outburst she had never thought she would have to face.
Two boys on a motorcycle came up from behind her and pulled at her shawl and threw it on the road. While all this happened in broad daylight, no one came forward to Khanum's rescue.
Outraged but undeterred, Khanum decided to protest against the incident. She came to Delhi and narrated her plight at a press conference at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Thursday evening.

Why is she not getting enough support from students ?

Generation Awakens?

But yes the ties are changing. We can see turbulence in the society, the youth is ready to take responsibilities. It is taking matters of national interest in there own hands and are looking for a solutions.
I came across a discussion on the net. It was regarding people struck by tsunami.
This was posted by a young 24year boy-

...Money- if we try collecting money from among ourselves........ this will take a long, hard, confusing route. we need to set up a bank account, everyone should contribute in there. Find a way in which we can send it to the right people in there. The security problem is another thing. See we should learn to collaborate not have a competition. If others started something help that improve and function and help them help others. We as the youth want to do something a whole right. Youth can mobilize themselves in respective countries start a fundraiser in there. Here in VOY we can help others understand the degree of the disaster and make them contribute...

Generation Awakens


Don't Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.

This is really a shameful act. Actually, I am surprised to know about this pathetic condition in AMU. I never even thought of this in such a prestigious institution. Anyways, u r doing really a gr8 job by identifying such issues and taking them into discussion forums like this.
Keep it up!!
