AISA, a Front for the Communists in Indian Education

JNU student union All India Students' Association (AISA), the largest student union at JNU, is the student wing of the Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist), one of the most radical leftist and Communist groups in India.

Communists in India still honor Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. They have never renounced or even criticized violent Communist revolutions or dictatorial states like the Soviet Union or Communist China.

While decimated at the polls, the Communist Party is trying to remain relevant and stage a comeback through its student activists, who have become their foot soldiers and media images in their new revolutionary fervour to challenge the success of Narendra Modi and the BJP.

AISA states that they believe that Marxism is the science of revolutionary change and human emancipation. AISA defines itself as a revolutionary, democratic students’ organization.

In reality, AISA is an association following the old failed Communist ideology of the twentieth century and emulating its cult of violence. Marxism is not a science but a political propaganda system. It has brought about revolutionary changes, but these have decimated whole countries and populations and cultures. It has not emancipated anyone, but created state tyranny wherever it has gained power. To associate it with democratic rights is a mere subterfuge. Marxism has never been democratic anywhere, unless as a temporary step to gaining totalitarian power.
