Student politics

Before probing into the feasible solution of the question, if would be pertinent to shed some light on the various aspects of student politics.

Students of a country are the most conscious citizens raising voice against any despotic and unlawful decision of the government, which does not conform to people's rights and interests. Today everything is under the influence of politics be it social life or cultural life or whatsoever- so much so that our mind cannot but be haunted by political thoughts.

Speaking simply, nothing goes beyond the immeasurable authority of politics. If that is the absolute reality, then the students should, very reasonably, have the propensity to involve themselves in politics in order that they can fulfil people's as well as their own rightful demands.

The supreme sacrifices of students for the country need not be exemplified anew. The invaluable contributions of student politics in the critical moments of our country are known to all and can never be undervalued in any way. In 1952, 1969, 1971, 1989, student politics marked the watersheds in the history of Bangladesh. These glorious contributions of student politics will remain ever fresh and ever shining in the hearts of people.

The proactive and spontaneous participation of students in political activities in those hard times of the nation sped up the nation's struggle for achieving independence from the erstwhile Pakistani oppressive rulers. These all are now golden history of student politics, which we all take pride in.

Those glorious days of student politics are now gone by in keeping with the perpetual passage of time..

The students caught up in the vortex of politics work as agents under different political parties consolidating their respective positions. The general students are, so to say, hostages to them-- irrespective of the BNP or the Awami League.

Campus violence, a much discussed issue, must have some connection with the evil practice of student politics. The peaceful environment of study in every educational institution is being massively spoilt due to the awful consequences of student politics leading to horrendous session jam that causes an irretrievable loss to a student's life.

The bright prospect of a student is, thus, nipped in the bud . The students, instead of paying attention to acquiring knowledge required for later professional and family life, whole-heartedly devote themselves to the whirlpool of politics. Ultimately, they cast a cloud of irremovable darkness and despair over their own future with the future of the nation.

The first and foremost duty of a student is 'study'. Today's students are tomorrow's helmsman of the country, who will lead the confused nation to the right direction and usher it into the way of perpetual development.

The students in general should renounce student politics without any delay, as the ominous results of student polities are now more apparent than the desired optimistic results. At the same time, the influential political high-ups of different political parties have to stop patronising and abusing student politics.
