Student Politics...

Hello everyone, hope you all had a great time on Eid. I am a bit sad as the holidays are coming to an end. Anyways, back to business now. Friends, in my last post I had discussed about politics but today I will only be focusing on student politics.

Today’s students are the future of the nation – we have all heard it many times right? But what do we actually think when we observe student politics in Bangladesh? The government and university authorities of our nation have failed to take the responsibility of maintaining the peaceful academic atmosphere in the campuses and to continue the academic exercises unobstructed. Also the students themselves have not been acting like students lately! It is high time now that the students of this country develop themselves as the worthy citizens and leaders for the future of Bangladesh. Because it is really disturbing while we think about what type of leadership is awaits us in the future.

According to me the main point of student politics is so that students are not deprived of their rights or are not harmed in any way. It is something that protects the students’ interests and when needed also protests for their rights. But guys, there is a decent and polite way in which things have to be done! I am not saying that students must not protest or argue, but there must be no violence in it. After all, they are STUDENTS…not uneducated, uncultured or ill-mannered people! So what should we do? Should we ban student politics? Well, I think that banning student politics is not the answer.

The student politics must be detached from the mainstream politics and business interests, and must be only restricted to the benefits of the students. And only regular students should be allowed to do politics in the campus. Student politics is also associated with the teachers’ politics, and so teacher’s politics also needs to be rectified. The teachers should separate themselves from mainstream politics in the campus and should not use the students to keep their influence and authority in the campus. For all this, a legal agreement is necessary among the academicians, political groups, citizens, guardians and students. Only in this way can we build a better Bangladesh to live in, right?
