Abstract
The notion has developed that inclination of the students towards
politics keep them away from the academic activity. Political
trends among the students promote atrocities, torture, kidnapping
and murder. These were the factors that urged General Zia-ul-Haq
to impose ban on political activities in educational campuses. It
became a state narrative during 1977-1988. Afterwards, the
counter narrative was developed which justified the student
politics. But undue interference of the political parties in student
politics and draconian laws of the university administrations did
not provide them space to flourish. From last few months, the
efforts for the revival of student unions have started. This paper
analyses those efforts in context of student solidarity march and
the resistance which was faced by the participatory students and
their leadership. It also elaborates the ideological impact on
student politics. A survey was conducted to understand student’s
perspective on revival of student politics in educational
institutions. Interviews of the students were conducted. What was
the response of the political leadership on demands of the
students? It is descriptive and analytical study.
