The All India Students' Federation (AISF) is the oldest student organisation in India; it was founded on 12 August 1936 with the guidance of freedom fighters and revolutionaries of that time.[4]
History
The foundation conference of the AISF was held at Ganga Prasad Memorial Hall in Lucknow. 936 delegates from all over the country participated in the conference.[5] The conference was inaugurated by Jawaharlal Nehru while M.A. Jinnah presided. The conference resolved to establish an All India Students Federation (AISF). Prem Narayan Bhargava was elected the first general secretary of the AISF.[5]
Hemu Kalani, an AISF leader, was arrested by the British army in 1942 for leading the Quit India Movement and he was publicly hanged in 1943 at the age of nineteen. AISF leader Kanaklata Barua was a martyrdom student who participated in the freedom struggle.[1]
AISF delegation visited the state and engaged in the relief activities of the Bengal famine of 1943.[6]
The historic Naval uprising took place in Bombay in February 1946. Workers and students also came out in support actively. AISF played an active part in mobilizing students in support of the Naval Ratings.[1]
AISF in independent India
After independence, AISF concentrated its activities mainly in educational issues, Anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle. It addressed various daily problems of students after independence and worked for students’ unity against communal threats. AISF played a main role in the Telangana armed struggle against the imperialism of the Nizam of Hyderabad.[7]
AISF continued to fight for the cause of all India, until finally liberating Goa. Satyagrahis from all over the country entered Goa on 15 August 1955 and were fired upon. 23 year old Karnail Singh Benipal was killed when he tried to save his leader V.C. Chitale[8] The general secretary of the AISF Sukhendu Mazumdar was present with AISF leader C.K. Chandrappan on 15 August at the Goa border, to help the student satyagrahis.[9]
In the 1980s, during the Khalistan movement, AISF under the leadership of its former General Secretary Satyapal Dang underwent armed training to counter Khalistan militants, with his base at Ekta Bhawan, a centre he had built in Chheharta.[10] Harpal Mohali who was the AISF leader from Mohali lead movements in Punjab University. In response to his attempt to counter Khalistan ideologically he was shot by the militants and got paralyzed. AISF activists lost their lives in the struggle against Khalistan separatism.[10]
The AISF played a huge role in completing the Kothari Commission report which is the basis for all the educational reforms in India.[11]
Motto and organisational structure
The organisation now works for the betterment of students with its focus on peace, progress and scientific socialism. The motto "Freedom, Peace and Progress", which had been raised since its formation, was amended at the 1958 National Convention. Since then, the AISF has come up with the motto "Study & Struggle".[12]
