What is Student politics?

 Student politics can be referred to as the pupils’ political activities regarding

the arranging of the pupil’s body which affects the higher education
institution, systems, and wider community.(Klemenčič and Park 2018)
The history of student politics in
Bangladesh
 Student organizations in our country have a long and glorious past. The students
played a significant role starting from British rule to even after the Liberation War
of 1971. (www.politicsgurukul.com)
 Over the years, student politics has changed a lot. Now it has spread through
the division, district, and Upazila of Bangladesh having some ups and downs.
The history of student politics in my
upazilla
 Basically, there are two student political parties in my upazilla, Jashore
Sadar. One is ‘Chatroleague’, and the other is ‘Chatrodol’ associated with
the Awami League and BNP respectively. (Upazilla Chairman, Jashore
Sadar)
 Though there are only two parties mainly Chatroleague and Chatrodol have a
glorious past, they also have an unimpressive tradition with the conflict
between themselves in terms of different idealism. (Upazilla chairman,
Jashore Sadar)
Structure

 Jashore Sadar Upazilla Chatroleague consists of a secretary, a general

secretary, and a full-member committee. But due to some internal
conflict, a change is inevitable in the coming days.(Upazilla
Chairman,Jashore Sadar)
 On the contrary, Jashore Sadar Upazilla Chatrodol doesn’t have any
committee or organizational structure like Chatroleague. Rather, they’re
quite “Messy” in terms of structure but looking at sorting themselves out.
(Upazilla Chairman,Jashore Sadar)
Activities

 Chatroleague and Chatrodol don’t have noteworthy activities in my Upazilla

except arranging meetings, and seminars. But often they engage in
violence with each other for certain issues. (Upazilla Chairman, Jashore
Sadar)
My Opinion about student politics

 I feel student politics should be banned permanently. It is ruining the life of

many meritorious students and the reason for the death of many
innocents.
 Besides, student politics brought no good for the country in recent years by
creating a toxic environment with violent students whereas we need skilled
students for building up our country.
