Students movement in England

Same arguement is being forwarded by many supporters of fee-hike in Delhi University also that is aimed at privatisation and commercialization of Education that must be state responsibility. Their argument is give freeship or concessions to economically deprived sections, thuis opening the whole pandora of all the means to get appropriate income certificate by the rich like medical certificates to cover attendance shortage on the one hand and create 2 classes of students on the other. If you really want to tax the rich tax them at the root; bring out the black money, which according the economists working on the "black economy", constitutes more than 60% of the national wealth; stop spending crores everyday on army deputation in Kashmir and Northeast (in case of England in Iraq and Afganistan) to kill and maim people and to plunder their resourses; stop the gimmics of colnial legacies like carrying the queen's baton by spending and looting almost billions.
More over such spontaneous "uprisings" on immediate issues amomng the youth and students, generally lead to transformation of movements into movements for broader changes. Communist Party of France did not appreciate the importance of radical students' 'uprisings" of 1960s had it done so the results would have been more farreaching.
Long live the revolutionary traditions of students' radical movements and slute to agitating students.

@kuljinder there have been so many discourses on religion, it has been delibertely kept tough to understand, so that people dont understand and clever people takig advantage of this ignorance serve the economic and political vested interests. Had all the religions been pointing to the same thiing -- some abstract good -- , why there would have been so much bloodshed in the name of the religions and sects?
@ Hasan rashid sahab, majhab ka kabhi bhi koi constructive role nahi raha hai -- aristotolte, Kautilya, Machiavelli sabhi ne shashakon ko salah di hai ki ve dharm ka istemal rajneeti ke hathiyar ke roop me karen kyonki isase logon ko vafadar aur ekjut rakhna ashan hai, aur ishvar ka bhay raja ke bhay me tabdil ki ja sakti hai . the fear of God would transcend into the fear of the prince _machiavelli).
@ Khurshid sahab: Modern, communal brand of religiousity is not the ideology of the antiquity but a modern ideology of capitalism that wants to conspire against the present in the name of some undemaecated unknown glorious past. for example : every one had been shouting against the BJP's hiddent agenda, I was saying, hinduttva is the open agenda, hidden agenda is selling the resources of the country to national/foreign companies at throw away prices and ofcourse with huge "political" goodwill amounts.
