Support Rally from MAMC to Jantar Mantar

The rally turned out to be a huge achievement. People turned up in large numbers to support Youth for Equality. There was a crowd of over 3000 people marching from MAMC to the heart of Delhi. This time the rally included not only students from Delhi but from colleges outside Delhi. The Delhi Police made provisions for a peaceful support rally. A street play depicting how the reservations have come into being was performed.

 

The rally ended in the center of Delhi, at Jantar Mantar, where the participants took an oath (led by Dr. Lochan), and decided to continue with the agitation. The undermentioned oath proclaimed that the youth will show their strength and solidarity in their fight for justice.

Appeal from Youth for Equality

Hunger strike Day 5 26 May 2008

We , the students of Maulana Azad Med College, Lady Hardinge Med College, University College of Med Sciences, All India Institute of Med Sciences and Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences have been sitting on hunger strike for last 90 hrs (still going on). plus Indraprasth University and Jawaharlal Nehru University have unofficially joined us for the same.. Our demands are as follows:

1) roll back of all reservation based on caste.
2) Implementation of the Right to education act – which guarantees free, compulsory and quality education, a fundamental right of every child.
3) A collegium against the present Chief Justice of India, Mr. Balakrishnan.- who has recently claimed that the concept of creamy layer applies to a community instead of an individual, effectively doing away with the need to exclude this layer from the ambit of reservation.

- We seek support from all Indians, including you, as we stand together for a noble cause.
- We are students who should be studying but we have been pushed to such a futile situation that we are forced to take such desperate measures.

We have been constantly receiving support from eminent personalities like:

- IIT professor, ex director and padma bhushan awardee Indire Sen
- Eminent lawyers from the Supreme court of India.
- Prominent motivational speakers and authors

Youth For Equality

The movement started in april 2006 under the forum Youth For Equality initiated by Delhi medical students from AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), MAMC (Maulana Azad Medical College), LHMC (Lady Hardinge Medical College) and UCMS (University College Of Medical College) but it was no longer restricted to these handful of colleges. Within a few months Yfe was a slogan of students not just in Delhi or India but it even stroved Indians abroad including DU (Delhi University) , JNU (Jawahar Lal University) and many more colleges and institutions. The movement went on until we achieved our demands.
Nothing has changed till now, neither our demands nor the ulterior motives of the politicians merely playing for their votebanks,,, just that the flame is on after a period of time... and its for us now to keep this flame burning with even more spirits and even more enthusiasm.


Who are we?

We are the same people who were in the main be it before two years or as of now... (earlier as http://youthforequality.blogspot.com/ ) and we seek every Indian citizen's support as one of your own kind, not as any Political party or an NGO. Till now we have gained support from various colleges but we still need more..
...more suppport
...more people to stand for the cause,
and more voices ... so much to be heard by deaf politicians.


What do we want?

We are not against affirmative action but we definitely oppose a reservation policy based solely on the criterion of caste.We believe that any form of reservation, if at all it should exist , should be

1) Temporary and
2) Should take into consideration the three main causes of inequality in our country , namely economic inequality, regional inequality and gender based inquality.


What can we do to achieve the same?

  • MOBILIZE PEOPLE as much as we can. via media, demonstrations, signature campaigns etc.
  • LEGAL RECOURSE. (which could no longer be relied upon after hearing the Supreme court's verdict recently but the progressions are still under process to somehow awaken the dead consciences of the govt.)

To be a part of this organisation you dont necessarily need to come up to streets and face water cannons or violence of police. You can still do a lot.. Just contact us and register your details on the following contacts.

Views and suggestions of any kind on the issue are invited.
