<description><![CDATA[ “We are the students of this campus. Not violent protesters,” said Aswanth VM, a Malayalam-language PhD scholar at the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit (SSUS) in Kalady, Ernakulam. Aswanth is one of three students on an indefinite hunger strike in front of the university. They are demanding the university’s permission to sit for their examinations and for the revocation of suspensions of 16 students. “We will continue our protest until the university agrees to our demand,” Aswanth added.The protest has since spilt over to another campus, the Maharajah’s College in Ernakulam, where SFI students questioned the Education Minister over the issue and were themselves suspended.When TNM visited the university on October 5, the three students, Aswanth, Archana and KV Abhijith – also members of the Students Federation of India (SFI), the student organisation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] – were on the fifth day of their hunger strike.What began as a student protest under SFI on July 22 later escalated into a dispute that reached the Supreme Court of India, with the students seeking a favourable judgement to write their semester examinations. On November 3, the SC declined to entertain the plea and directed a single bench of the Kerala High Court to hear and resolve the matter expeditiously. The court noted that the university gave assurances to conduct special examinations if the students receive a favourable ruling, as reflected in the official record. A doctor checking the health condition of the students who are on a hunger strike What triggered the controversy at the University?The SSUS witnessed protests over infrastructure, academic administration and other students&#039; concerns for years. “This is not a new protest. For years, we have been holding protests here, raising various demands. Whenever some of our demands remain unfulfilled, we raise those demands again and continue our protests. It was in that context that we resumed the protest on July 22,&quot; Rithisha, Kerala’s first transgender PhD student and one among the 16 suspended students, said.On July 22, the students raised an 18-point charter of demands concerning campus rights, infrastructure, and academic administration. The students also complained that the Vice Chancellor Ciza Thomas, was at the university on most days, and this was causing academic delays.The protest took another turn on August 13, during the first meeting of the university&#039;s reconstituted syndicate. Students from the Department of Theatre staged a street play, which symbolically represented the funeral of stage lights that did not work. According to organisers, it was intended to draw attention to the department&#039;s long-standing grievances, particularly the condition of its lighting equipment. The university, however, interpreted the performance as a mock funeral of Vice-Chancellor Ciza Thomas. MS Shivakumar, a second-year MA theatre student and the director of the play Light Mariche (Light Died), said one of the 18 demands raised by the SFI during its protest was the improvement of basic infrastructure in the Theatre Department. “It was in this context that we put together a small performance. It was a satirical performance that highlighted the fact that the lights in the theatre were not functioning. The mock funeral was for the theatre lights,” he said.  The street play, conducted on August 13 Media reports about the play misrepresented it as a mock funeral of the VC, leading to allegations of impropriety. Higher education minister Roji M John called the student protest an ‘uncivilised protest’. He also alleged that there was an attempt to attack the VC, and a complaint was filed by her. “We are not against any democratic form of protest,” he said. On August 13, the Kalady police registered a suo motu case against 65 students. The FIR said, “The students stopped the Vice Chancellor and the syndicate members who were returning from a meeting by shouting slogans.” It also said they used force to obstruct the police from doing their duty.Three days later, on August 17, the Kalady police registered another FIR when Ciza Thomas filed a complaint against the protesters. It alleged that protesters had manhandled her and attempted to damage her vehicle as she left the campus. She also alleged that the students conducted a funeral for her. Addressing the media, Chief Minister VD Satheesan said that the suspension was not for the mock funeral but for the attacks against the VC. “The students attacked the VC and syndicate members. But there is no visual for that. The action was following this,” CM said.The students and the SFI leadership denied the allegations of physical harassment and damage to the vehicle. “We are being portrayed as uncivilised and violent protesters. There is a grill gate in front of the Administrative Block, and whenever there is a protest, that gate is closed. The Syndicate meeting is held on the first floor, and the lift leading to that floo ]]></description>
