In a democratic country the education System should also be democratic. Every Indian citizen have equal right to participate in Politics. But Lyngdoh Committee recommendations are against the very fundamental Right of the Students.The great leaders like, Netaji, Lala lajpat Rai encouraged the students and teachers to join politics. For that Students Union, Teachers union to represent their rights are very essential. SO Students Union Election is inevitable. So there should be a democratic election Not Selection. But Lyngdoh Committee recommendations are against the very fundamental Right of the Students.So the Governments cunningly snatch away the rights of Students and teachers. There by they are also maligning the great leaders of our country. Students should fight it unitedly based on higher culture and Ethics.
