Ridiculous 11 P.M. Rule of ISM Dhanbad

In-time for students (no student can remain outside his hostel gate after 11 P.M.) in hostels has been the most discussed and debated issue of ISM. For the last few years, it continues to be in the 'issues raised' section in various meetings of ISS, but so far ISM administration has paid no heed to this demand.  Most students (in fact every student) want this rule to be scrapped.

The reason given by the admins in support of this rule is hilarious. Argument is given that this rule is only for the safety of students because any mishap can happen during the night. This argument is as strong as saying that "To avoid molestation, women should stay at home". Doesn't the administration know that most of the students here are adults? Students here possess the same security threat as any other person of our country. What if the government imposes this kind of ban on every person to stay inside their house to reduce the crimes? Will anyone accept this? In a free and democratic society where every person has the right to do anything as long as it is not obnoxious to other citizens, where the government is about to decriminalize attempt to suicide, imposing these kind of bans in the name of maintaining discipline and ensuring safety is egregious.

There are other ways to ensure safety of students during the night. There are already enough guards in the campus, but still numbers of guards can be increased for added security. And instead of banning students why not ban outsiders after 11 pm since they are the potential offender to the students, students should be told to carry I-cards to distinguish them from strangers. Regular and strict checking of I-cards should be done and outsiders can be punished with a fine or something else. Even after having so many guards, if safety of students cannot be ensured within the small premises of ISM which is confined by boundary walls where no palpable evidences of ‘criminal-on-prowl' are available, just imagine the plight of the common man living in open societies where no significant police or security is available.

All the possible problems can be sorted out, but the ISM administration is too defensive to take any step to abolish this rule.  For the administration, it also serves as an excuse to prevent students from getting involved in ‘bad habits' like studying till late night in the library. In reality, admins are using this rule to hide the insufficiency of available night-staff. Now that we are bragging about the new library which would be Asia’s largest academic library, it would be unfortunate if this rule is continued; people would laugh at us. The ISM administration should consider the demands of students and completely erase this rule.

#IndiaWithPakistan or #IndiaWithKids

Disclaimer: This article can hurt (pseudo)secular sentiments and pro-Pakistan feelings of some persons. Proceed on your own discretion.

Just after the brutal killings of innocent kids of an army school of Peshawar by some suicidal psychopaths of Tahrik-E-Taliban (TTP), social media was instantaneously flooded (and is flooded till now) with messages of sympathy and support to the deceased children and their families. Needless to say, most of this overwhelming reaction came from the keyboards of Indians. Many ultra-(pseudo)secular senior journalist like Bachi Kakaria and Nikhil Wagle, who bake their breads by instigating and propagating hatred against RSS, also found sufficient material from this massacre to post some tweets linking these atrocious killings to Hindu organizations of India (Don’t stress your brain to find out any logic in their statements, the word ‘logic’ is not present in their dictionaries.)

Due to the enormous amount of empathy shown by Indians, #IndiaWithPak has become the most popular and trending hashtag of twitter. #IndiaWithPak is cute and dangerous at the same time. Cute, because the modern ISI – ‘Indian Secular Intelligentsia’ has again come out of its grave with the help of this hashtag. This hashtag serves them two purposes – First, it acts as a shield to avoid condemning the inhumane organizations of terrorists flourishing in Pakistan with the help of Pak government, army and the old ISI. Second, it acts as a weapon for them to expose the creation of their own mind - ‘Hindu Terrorism’ and ‘Hindu Taliban’ in India. And it does not stop here. They tell the world that the level of religious fanaticism and bigotry of ‘Hindu Taliban’ is far worse and more dangerous than the original Taliban. Their theories and arguments are outside the scope of my intellectual understanding. They probably think that RSS or any Hindu organization should now attack Army School, Patiala to maintain the ‘secular fabric’ of the world! But in spite of this kind of wicked ideology, I don’t see any real danger from the modern ISI, because they are already dead before they could turn into some real danger – thanks to the young generation of Indians who are no more falling prey to the ISI ideology.

The real dangerous thing is that we have yet again failed to distinguish between the ‘innocent Pakistani victims’ and the nation ‘Pakistan’. For the entire world, Pakistan is a synonym for ‘hell’! ‘Pakistan as a nation’ means the cosiest abode of most cruel humans – terrorists. ‘Pakistan’ means the primary patron of terrorists. Pakistan means the nation where the government, army, and intelligence agencies use terrorist whenever and wherever it suits them. Pakistan means the land where many of our most dangerous enemies are roaming freely. Pakistan means the streets where Hafiz Saeed – the master-mind of the cruellest terrorist attacks on India, more brutal and stronger in impact than the Peshawar attacks – 26/11, regularly organizes rallies and incites hatred against India. Pakistan means a nation having pitiless army which recently chopped off the head of one of our soldier, the only fault of his was that he was an Indian. Pakistan means a treacherous neighbour, who repeatedly violates ceasefire and wages wars against us without any reason at all. 

‘Pakistan as a nation’ is not worthy of this kind of support and sympathy. Yes, there are some Pakistani citizens who have nothing to do with all this. But this bunch of good people doesn’t represent entire ‘Pakistan’. Pakistan is a compound of India-haters, notorious terrorists, treasonous army, anti-India government, intelligent agencies ‘and’ some common people. Therefore, #IndiaWithPakistan is egregious, anti-national and shameful for a patriotic and humanitarian Indian. Why not think of something other, why not show your support to the deceased children and write ‘#IndiaWithKids’, and why not ‘#IndiaWithHumanity’? I don’t understand why Indians are afraid of condemning Taliban, terrorists and the Pakistan government. Why not ‘#ShameOnTaliban’, ‘#EndTerrorism’ or ‘#ShameOnPakGovernment’. 

There are tens of other hashtags, use them, but don’t use ‘#IndiaWithPakistan’, because when you write ‘With Pakistan’, you are indirectly supporting the same terrorists who murdered the innocent kids.   

Pakistan is an enemy of India.
India should not support Pakistan.

12 Students Suspended for Celebrating Birthday without GPL

 GPL in ISM Dhanbad    GPL in engineering
In a huge shock to the whole engineering fraternity, 12 students of ISM (Institute of Single Males) celebrated a birthday without GPL. The college authorities took immediate notice of this shocking act and suspended everyone involved in the birthday celebration.

This stunning event took place on the birthday of Padhaku Teja - the notorious 10 pointer of the college. It was around 11:50 pm when Lallan Jha2 – the GPL specialist of ISM who has successfully performed GPL of more than 400 students, set out on his daily birthday/GPL hunt. When Jha2 finally reached Maggu Wing, he heard some strange voice of “Happy birthday to you” coming from a room. Stimulated by this opportunity, Jha2 rushed to the room but he was left mind-blown when he peeked inside the room.

Instead of preparing for GPL, students were greeting Padhaku and were eagerly waiting to cut the cake. However, Jha2 took pity on the starved students and decided to wait outside the room. After 10-15 minutes, all the students came out of the room and started dancing to the tunes of Honey Singh’s Volume-1. Still seeing no signs of GPL, Jha2 completely lost his mind and went to call his friends.
Jha2 returned with his 5 friends. They all had leather belts and chappals in their hands. Padhaku saw them coming. Sensing their bad motives, he immediately ran from the place. Jha2 and his friends followed him but they couldn’t catch him. For the entire night, they searched every room of the hostel but remained unable to find Padhaku. Jha2 couldn’t endure this blow on his self-respect; next morning, he went to the dean office and narrated this inhumane act in detail.

“What! ....... How? ............ How could they ……?” was the reaction of the surprised dean. “At first I didn’t believe him, how can any student leave the golden chance of beating his friend?” the dean told our reporters, “but then Jha2 requested me to myself check Padhaku’s body”. After that, dean himself went to Padhaku’s room and minutely examined his body parts. Not finding any mark of GPL, the dean asked Jha2 the names of everyone present in Padhaku’s room that night. Dean first called the parents of the students and informed them about the in-disciplinary acts of their children. Then he issued an order suspending the students. “These students are a blot on the face of engineering, what message do they want to give to society?” said the dean.

Meanwhile, some of the suspended students told our reporters the reasons for abstaining from Padhaku’s GPL. “I had not eaten anything for the last 15 days, I was surviving on only RD's tea. Padhaku had threatened me not to give any piece from the birthday cake if I were to forcefully do his GPL,” said one of the suspended students while justifying his acts.

ISS: Everything You Want To Know

ISS: ISM Student Society

The ISM Student Society is a magnificent manifestation of the democratic spirits of ISM. Over the years, ISS has evolved as an institution having multi-dimensional roles. Nurturing and inspiring participatory democracy among students, ISS has been instrumental in ushering in various changes and developments in ISM. But sadly most students don't even have a basic clue about ISS. This article is an attempt to acquaint the students with the ISS, its functioning and the ISS elections.

Objective: ISS was established to bridge the gap between the students and the ISM administration. It discusses issues directly or indirectly effecting ISM and ISMites with the concerned authorities.

The ISS Body:
Electoral College:  It comprises of 40 members, all of whom are selected through interview by the concerned authorities. Details of members and selection process are given below. First year students are not included in the Electoral College.
Executive Committee: It consists of 7 members: The President, Vice President, General Secretary, Joint Secretary, Cultural Secretary, Sports Secretary and Secretary of Alumni Affairs. These 7 members must be among the members of the Electoral College. The President and the Vice President are selected from the B.Tech 4th year, and the rest are selected from the B.Tech 3rd year.

ISS Elections:
Electoral College: The 40 member team consists of following:-
(1) 3 Class Representatives.
(2) One representative from PG Students.
(3) One representative each from the Faculty Societies (ME, PE, Mechanical, MME, FME, Electronics, CSE, Electrical, ESE, Chemical, AGL, AGP, MS, Applied Math, Chemistry and Physics).
(4) One representative of the meritorious students from each year of B.Tech (total 3 students).
(5) One sportsman.
(6) One Hostel Perfect from each hostel.
(7) One Secretary from of the following societies: CSLS, Chayanika Sangh, Music Society, Cyber Society, Photographic Society, Yoga Society and NSS.
All members are selected after an interview by the concerned Presidents/Faculty Members/Wardens. GPA and extra-curricular activities form most important part of the selection criteria.

Executive Committee: Executive Committee is elected by (through voting) members of Electoral College from among its members.
Note: Any student who has appeared in any special examination or against whom any kind of disciplinary action has been taken, is not eligible to apply for the interview process of Electoral College


Functioning of ISS: First, a General Body Meeting (GBM) is organized to take feedback from students regarding their problems. After that, the issues raised in GBM are discussed in the ISS-Administration meeting. A GBM is held again to update students about the progress.

Suggestions:Currently there is no direct role of ISM students in the selection process. From time to time, demands have been raised to make the selection process more democratic. A large section of ISMites feels that instead of selecting members of ISS through an interview, students should themselves choose the members by election/voting.

स्वच्छ भारत नौटन्की

बेचारे नरेंद्र मोदी जी ने बड़ी उम्मीदों के साथ स्वच्छ भारत अभियान की शुरुआत की थी, शायद जापान और अमेरिका की सड़कें देखने के बाद मोदी जी को लगा कि हमारे देश की पान से सनी सड़कें, पेशाब से गीली दीवारें और मानव मल से घिरी हुई रेल पटड़ियाँ भी इन विदेशी शहरों की तरह चमचमा सकती हैं... और इन्हीं सपनों को देखते हुए मोदी जी ने स्वच्छ भारत अभियान की घोषणा कर दी …यह सोचते हुए कि अगर 120 करोड़ भारतीय ठान लें तो भारत क्या पूरी दुनिया भी जापान, शंघाई और न्यु-योर्क की तरह चमक सकती है … अभियान भी कुछ ऐसा था कि मोदी का कोई बड़े से बड़ा राजतीनिक, धार्मिक या वैचारिक विरोधी चाहकर भी इस अभियान का विरोध नहीं जुटा पाता… शायद ये अभियान 120 करोड़ लोगों को अपने पक्ष में करने का मोदी का मास्टर स्ट्रोक था…और हुआ भी तकरीबन कुछ वैसा ही,  मोदी के कट्टरतम विरोधी नौटन्की सरदार केजरीवाल को भी इसका समर्थन करना पड़ गया और इसके साथ ही बेचारे उन आपियों को भी मोदी का समर्थन करना पड़ गया जो मोदी की तारीफ़ करने की बजाय टट्टी ख़ाना ज्यादा पसंद करते हैं…लोगों में उदाहरण पेश करने के मकसद से मोदी ने गांधी जयन्ती के दिन खुद सफ़ाई करके इस अभियान की शुरुआत की

Karunanidhi changes his name as it had Sanskrit origins and thus against Tamil culture

Chennai. DMK boss Karunanidhi today gave a sharp reply to his critics who were calling him a hypocrite for his Sanskrit originating name despite being a virulent opponent of everything Sanskrit, Hindi, and Hindu.

In a move that comes as a slap on all Hindi speakers, he changed his name from Karunanidhi to Compassion. Karunanidhi alias Compassion, later clarified that he was not aware that ‘Karunanidhi’ was a Sanskrit word, else he would have taken this decision long back and helped Tamil Nadu reach new level of self-respect and self-awareness. 

Sources tell Faking News that Karunanidhi was browsing Facebook early the morning on his smartphone, when he came across a post that described the meaning and origin of the word ‘Karunanidhi’.

The 90-year-old leader immediately flung the phone on the floor with his full force. Out of acute pain, which arose out of this insult to his self-respect, he emitted such a deep and loud cry that people up to the distance of 5 kms were forced out of their sleep. Doctors had to give him sedatives and sleeping pills to control the situation.

But within one hour, he regained his consciousness and ordered for a press conference. He immediately announced that he was changing his name to Compassion to save the Tamil culture. On being asked what the relation is between Tamil culture and the English word Compassion, he didn’t say anything.

When this Faking News reporter asked, “How the word Karunanidhi is against Tamil culture?” Karunanidhi angrily shouted – “DON’T SPEAK THAT WORD.”

Post this revelation by the party patriarch, some DMK supporters are now claiming that they lost the last elections due to the word Karunanidhi’s relation with Sanskrit.

“But better late than never. We have again shown that DMK is the only party which respects Tamil culture. We have left AIADMK miles behind. We challenge Jayalalithaa to change her name,” said an excited supporter of DMK.

If sources are to be believed, Jayalalithaa is very worried due to this incident and is contemplating a similar name change process to show that AIADMK also respects Tamil culture.

Karunanidhi changes his name as it had Sanskrit origins and thus against Tamil culture

And the ragging continues………

His face was deadly pale, beads of perspiration gleamed upon his tensed forehead. He had just stood up after finishing the 30 – minutes Murga Punishment, his fragile legs shook from his small weight and his weak body wagged like a branch in wind. The abusive words and threats were still echoing in his mind.

“Behen ke lo** first year me kuch nahi hua to apne aap ko Bond samajhne lage,” bellowed the self-declared Student Leader of College and chief of the group of six – who were monitoring 450 students. Their language was becoming more and more vulgar, but none of the 450 2^nd yearites seemed to have any kind of self – respect. “In salo ko ek baar fir Murga banate hain”, suggested a Sardar jee to the leader. The leader ordered everyone to repeat the punishment.

But, his body was not able to endure any extra physical load. Some kind of self-respect seemed to arouse out of him. “Why are you following their orders, who are they to order you and why you are here? You should have been in your room, these rubbish people have wasted your two hours,” his vainglorious heart told his body. He began to think of ways to get away from there, he thought of fleeing but his heart told him not to do so, after all he was not a coward. Then he thought of open defiance and verbally facing them – “Every one of these seniors is a coward, they didn’t even dare to touch you in your first year, for they were afraid of your complaint to ragging committee; they are doing all this only because you are allowing them to do so – just show a little firm attitude and see what happens, no one would want to be in trouble – everyone is here only to get a job and have a good career,” –  his heart tried to convince his mind. He tightened his fists and prepared himself to speak loudly and firmly.

But just before uttering the pre-meditated words, the last sentence said by his heart came to his mind – “Everyone is here only to get a job,” and suddenly he remembered the advice of his elder brother – “Never involve in any kind of altercation with any of your seniors, always maintain a healthy relationship with them. You are going to college to get a decent job, who knows one of your seniors may be interviewing you during your placement. Engineering job is always about following orders of others,” and he tightly shut his mouth.

“Tujhe alag se bolna padega Bh@**di ke,” snapped the Sardar jee.

He slowly bent down to silently follow his command. “ I will take my revenge next year, I will also get juniors” – he spoke to himself while raising his butts.

And the ragging continues………

Ragging in ISM Dhanbad

P.S. This is not a work of fiction, it is based on the description given by one of my friends who willingly attended the Sr - Jr Interaction cum Ragging Program
