Tazia procession has NEVER BEEN a part of BHU’s ethos. And it’s a desperate attempt to secularize it

On September 10, the day of Muharram, while all students observed a holiday at Banaras Hindu University (BHU), a Tazia procession took place in the campus of Banaras Hindu University (BHU), after which people became active on social media immediately and started expressing their views in protest against it. The photo related to this also went viral on social media.

In fact, among the prestigious universities of the country, the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in Varanasi was crowned in the name of secularism. This was perhaps the first time in the 102 year long history of BHU, that the Tazia procession walked around its campus. It is written in clear letters on the Singh gate that ‘this is not a common road’, yet the Tazia procession marking the mourning of Muharram was carried out on this road. This Tajiya procession was taken from Singh Gate via Chitupur Gate to Faculty of Law, MMV in the BHU campus. In such a situation, the question that arises is that when this has not happened in the history of BHU till date, then what was the need to give birth to this new tradition today?

In this case on social media, people have been raising questions over the silence of Vice Chancellor Rakesh Bhatnagar. Many students protested on Facebook, while many took to Twitter.

https://twitter.com/ippatel/status/1171374643162181632

Expressing anger over the matter, a twitter user wrote, “Can any #Hindu be allowed to take out Krishna Janmashtami or Kavad Yatra at Aligarh Muslim University ?????”

क्या AMU में नवरात्रि में मां दुर्गा की मूर्ति लगाई जा सकती है? नही।
तो फिर कैसे BHU में ताजिया कैसे घूम सकता है

— रंजीत ठाकुर (@6V5lnubWDp1JcHj) September 11, 2019

At the same time another user said that “Can an idol of Maa Durga be installed in Navratri in AMU? no. Then how can Tazia roam in BHU. ” On Facebook, a student expressed his anger, wrote, “After all what is the work of this tazia in university today? … If this has not happened in the history of the university till date, why should this new tradition be born today?”

Banaras Hindu University, BHU, Muharram, Tajiya, Tazia, procession,
Critics even went so far as to say,  “In BHU, this is clearly a mockery of Mahamana’s values. When a procession of another religion is not allowed, then why was a religious procession of a particular religion allowed? Is this university a dharamshala that anyone can walk in whenever they want?”

Banaras Hindu University, BHU, Muharram, Tajiya, Tazia, procession,
The matter caught up further when students of BHU students and professors started protesting against the Tazia being rolled out in the school premises. The students staged a sit-in at the Chief Proctor’s Office and demanded a moratorium, blaming the university administration for this. The students allege that along with raising slogans during the Tazia procession, sharp edged weapons were also waved about while the BHU security personnel watched. The Chief Proctor assured of action as per the rules when the students returned. Along with this, Chief Proctor OP Rai has also clarified that this tradition is old.

It seems that either OP Rai may be in support of of the Tazia procession or he has received orders from above to let go of this issue. In fact there is no such tradition in BHU but efforts are being made to turn this into a tradition. This is the case when the vice-chancellor of BHU is Rakesh Bhatnagar who is a former JNU professor. In 2016, Rakesh Bhatnagar was employed as a professor when anti-national slogans were raised on the anniversary of terrorist Afzal Guru in JNU. And now, as soon as he becomes the vice-chancellor, he has allowed the Tazia procession without giving any explanation for it.

In a January 1920 convocation speech, Madan Mohan Malaviya had said for the Banaras Hindu University, “We should make Kashi the holy land of supreme civilization, for which it was so famous in ancient times… We should build this university in such a way that its step foot land gives an idea of ​​ancient pride and civilization. ”(Book- Mahamana: Chintan and Sandesh, Dr. Umesh Dutt Tiwari)

Let us know that BHU has been the center of education and culture for years, which has been completely different from JNU, Aligarh and Jamia University. But today this ‘Sarv Vidya ki rajdhani‘ is being used to advance an agenda inimical to the atmosphere of an educational institution. The university administration and the state government must ensure that such an incident does not happen again.
