Organized Effort is the only Key to Success

Its not easy to reamin unbiased and when somebody is unbiased then most probably he is also indifferent,and I am not indifferent.My views are open to criticism.

So, finally Mr. President has yielded, we would be having an Open House meeting for all the General Body members!!!

So, what is it all about – To listen to the views of the junta.But Do you feel that your voice will be given due respect in a crowd of 500???.No matter how hard they try, it wont be easy for you to express and them to comprehend.

No format has yet been mailed and I believe that nobody precisely knows what the format would be. What I have heard, they are planning to appoint a few speakers to speak on behalf of the entire junta(I feel so) representing different viewpoints. This might be wrong.It is also not known who they will be. Ideally this is the job of the senators to represent the views of the junta. This is what they are meant for. So, if you all want your voices to be heard, you need to organize yourself on a common platform before this Open House proves  another failure .

If you would have attended the last senate meeting, you know what happens when there are 50 individuals, each with a opinion of his own, trying to bring forth their views. There is more of noise and hardly any fruitful discussion. Now, guess the state the Open House would be in which is sure to get packed with an audience of more than 500. The general body is hardly ever heard by the senate and this Open House gives them another opportunity to turn it into a presentation of some views rather than a discussion forum. We should also understand that it is impossible to even initiate a conclusive discussion involving 500 equally intellectually capable minds.

Ideally, the Senate should have asked the senators to gather feedback from the junta upon this issue. which they are obviously not doing,maybe because of some constraint

So, what I suggest is that all like-minded people should come forward; assemble together;form a OPINION GROUP; have a discussion; compile their views; document them and make them available for the entire IIT community and send a copy to each of our senators with a card – “Get well soon,if you are not well”!!

I don’t care what the name should be or would be but what I do care about is the process that goes into selecting this name because such festivals are a direct reflectance of the student’s community of an institute. At the end of the day, they have to sell the name to the junta.

Will like to sign off with these lines..People should understand that what is right remains right.............even if the majority thinks otherwise.........and an oppurtunist politician cares about people only at times of election and exploits loops in rule at rite time.....These lines are not entirely my creation but I do support the view expressed in these lines and my experience so far with  has tested this view.

Why this Split

When the student Gymkhana should have been concentrating on developing strategies to throw a great show in next golden jubilee year of IIT Kanpur,it has been caught in a controversy that whether the name Techkriti should be changed or not.(Our prez says that its a new festival).

It is quite clear that a large chunk of student body is not supporting the senate and few went on rage after gymkhana passed the bill, mired with controversy since the inception of the bill.

Why suddenly this outburst of sentiments in campus, why this strife.

As a General Body member I have all the right to criticize Sujania’s decision to form a committee without any representative of people (aam junta).There was hardly any senator in the committee(apart from convenor) ,so only the executives view were taken into consideration and aam junta concerns were left out. The senators are meant to express the view of the aam junta.

During the tenure of Sujania the senate decided to merge the two festivals ,The senate has  authority to decide fate of megabucks and Techkriti because the junta has trusted the senate that their concerns will be given due respect by senate and not because junta feel that the senators are intellectually more capable. The senate is a body representing the views and concerns of people.

But the senators feel that the junta has vested them with the power to decide on their behalf, this notion is dangerous and very detrimental to the legitimacy and the authority the senate commands.

Many people vote on the basis of caste because they feel that their leaders will voice the concern of their community, and the leaders do so(A Schedule caste leader speaks mainly for SC only). This attitude of leaders is bad ,but  our senate is  much worse than that .They represent particular electorate but speak only for themselves. They don’t speak junta’s voice but expresses what their stand is.

Today I heard that a senator has asked the convener asking him not to reconvene  the meeting because  no senator was against the decision and only junta is opposing, so why call another meeting.

I don’t know the name of that senator but few things can be concluded about him:

1. He has been elected unopposed because people like him who don’t respect junta’s view can’t get elected. (not her because all  the three female senators were elected)

2. He must be thinking of himself as too smart and he feels that junta can’t decide what is right for them and what he decides is right for the junta.

 

Whoever you are, own some moral responsibility and please resign, you are not supposed to be senator.

 

For all those who are not aware of the seat allotment to different programs let me inform you that the ratio of the size of a batch and senators from that batch should be 100.Our seniors made this wonderful piece of rule to ensure that the senators  are capable of reaching the entire electorate and capable of raising voice in the senate for the junta .But neither the President nor any senator has tried to know what the take of junta is on this issue.

This is a golden opportunity for all those senators who want to contest  next Presidential elections to speak for junta and not for themselves, try to meet people and I can guarantee, you will not have to request any idiots and few vote pimps to propose or second you .I have seen this happening with a guy who had raised voice for lottery during hall allocation, he became so much popular later on that nobody dared to contest elections against him, after all who wants his/her security money to be confiscated. Senators, this is a golden opportunity to meet people, know their concern and regain the lost authority of gymkhana. Vote in the interest of junta and not the in the interest of self declared elite members.

I don’t know what will be senate’s final decision, however I will respect any decision if it is taken in fair manner and without any abuse of power. But any decision they take must be acceptable to junta, that means either they convince junta which will be possible if junta buys their rationality behind their decision.
