> Dear All,

> We want to bring it to your notice the constant physical and psychological
> violence  that many of us
> muslim students have been experiencing at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New
> Delhi over the last two
> years. Recently on  On 17th March a Muslim student *Masihullah Khan*[ M.A.
> French] was brutally
> assaulted by a group of *ABVP/RSS* students inside Lohit hostel in full
> view of the Senior Waden and
> fellow residents. Despite that the administration did not deem it be a
> serious offence and let them off
> with very mild punishments, which were then revoked. All that was left of
> the punishment was hostel
> transfers, and even those were not carried out.
>
> Exactly a month later on 17th April *the same group of students*assualted me
> *[Idrees* *Kanth] *badly
> and further threatened me* *of dire consequences. Even after this, the
> administration on one ground or
> the other ['humanitarian considerations' is what the adminstration said]
> has been protecting them making
> us feel not only very vulnerable but traumatised. Such an attitude of the
> administration has only
> emboldened these hooligans who are now openly targeting us.
>
> It is a common knowledge among students in JNU that the administration is
> completely right wing. In
> the past if by any chance a *Dalit* or  a* Muslim student*  was
> involved even in a minor act of indiscipline,
> the student was severly punished and even rusticated.
>
> We therefore, appeal to you all to build an opinion on such a stark and
> open communal policy of the JNU
> adminsitration  and the growing communal violence on the campus. We are
> being constantly threatened,
> intimidated, abused, physically beaten etc etc. We feel completely helpless
