Reviews of Anthony Galatis
Another great awesome killer mix. Get ready for more.
Another great mix from a master sound Engineer. Anthony takes a song from just being a song to a whole new level. Very impressed with all the songs I have done with him. Get ready for more.
Another mix by Anthony Galatis. Very impressive work. His mixes brings all the hidden details in the song. His Live drums EQ is one of the best I've heard in my 30 year career. I can trust all my work with Anthony. Excellent work.
I worked with Anthony again on the second half of my project. He really dedicates his time to making your music sound amazing. If you want good quality mixes for your project, look no further. Of all the Engineers and considering the fact that I live in Washington D.C. and he lives in the U.K., I'd choose Anthony any day!
Anthony Galatis is AMAZING. He was able to bring my visions to life with his authentic engineering skills. He takes his time while working with your project to ensure your music is "radio ready". I will definitely use Anthony on all my projects.

Anthony just mixed a song for me that was not easy to mix since the live drum tracks weren't that great. In the final mix, they probably sound better than any live drums I worked on before. What at great job Anthony did with the whole mix. It is above and beyond my expectations. To bad they only allow up to 5 stars in the ratings.
Anthony is a real professional and a nice person. He tuned a lead pop vocal for me. He did the job perfectly. Moreover he delivered the track faster than I expected.
Stop looking at other profiles! Anthony is the guy to work with! He will deliver an immaculate mix.
Anthony's work exemplifies his attention to detail, his refined musical ear, and his precision at mixing complex arrangements and vocals. It was a pleasure working with him, and I can't wait to have him involved in many other projects.
Great to work with really super fast getting the work done and very high quality! I will be working with him a lot more in the future to come!
I had the opportunity to work with Anthony different times
It was really great , he has many ideas or suggestions , he works fast and he is very effective with Pro Tools
Top line , harmony or production are not a problem because he finds anyway a great solution
He is a complete and very professional musicians and audio engineer
I have worked with Anthony over the past 10 years with a wide range of artists in different genres and have more recently worked with him remotely from Los Angeles. Not only does he continue to impress as an accomplished producer but, whist working remotely, he is super responsive and helpful at all times.
"I had my very first studio session ever with Anthony and I just felt at home. Anthony truly converted my ideas into musical reality and was very supportive while achieving my goal. He rocks!! Highly recommended."
Great studio! Always had great sessions there. Anthony is very professional, efficient and easy going. It's always a pleasure working there.
without a doubt Anthony is one of the best producers i've worked with, knew exactly what I wanted to achieve and did it tenfold. Can't wait to work with him again and would highly recommend.
Anthony has the ability to take the tiniest idea, where it be a lyric, a melody, a series of chords etc. and build on it with such ease, until the finished product is better than you could have imagined! He has an incredible attention to detail, and above all, he made it such an enjoyable process!! Highly recommended.
if you want to further your music career, then Anthony is definitely your guy. Having already worked with Anthony on a track that spent 3 weeks on the radio 2 playlist, I knew that I wanted him to produce all of the tracks on my follow up EP. He didn't fail to deliver with the quality and we had such a laugh in the process as well. Full 5* for me.
Anthony is a consummate professional. He is a perfectionist and his attention to detail is second to none. Combine that with his immense musical talent and there's no reason to book anyone else. He's a pleasure to work with and can't recommend him highly enough.
I have been working with Anthony remotely since 2009-2010 for artists of mine including US #5 Billboard artist Consuelo Costin. I've always been impressed by the musicality of his work, by the attention paid to details. I will gladly come back to him for some of my projects in the future.
Anthony Galatis has been my "go-to" engineer / mixer / producer / on-the-spot-arranger for over a decade now. I have a huge wealth of options from which I could choose a Producer /Engineer from all over the world, but Anthony is simply THE BEST. The job is always done super-efficiently and to the highest standards required - and with a smile!
As a producer I often find the mixing stage very painful. "Am I really done?", "I can always change that sound later". When you have all the possibilities in the world at your fingertips they can also be a burden. That is exactly why you should call Anthony to mix your record. He has got the musicality and sense of detail that we all need!
I have been working with Anthony over the web since 2009 - he has done several productions for me (musical arrangement/recording/mixing), from small projects like songwriter demos to complete, full-band, radio-ready recordings. His work has always been amazing and I couldn't think of a better producer / audio engineer to recommend.

The fattier the better, it seems. La Palette (492 Queen St. W.) has taken the latest round of Sausage League, over The Black Hoof (928 Dundas St. W.).
La Palette made a wild boar almond-crusted cotechino (pork sausage with lots of fatback) paired with a corn and peach salad. The Hoof's manoeuvre was spicy pork sausage with piccalilli: curried cauliflower, carrots, cucumber and zucchini.
Both teams played hard, but La Palette's Brook Kavanagh just wanted it more.
Sausage League continues Wednesday night at 5:30 p.m. at Marben (488 Wellington St. W.), with the Yukon vs. C5.

Finally, it's here! Sushant Singh Rajput's MS Dhoni: The Untold Story has hit the theatres today (30/9/2016). And we bring to you the live review of the film, after reading which you can decide whether this movie was worth the wait or not!
MS Dhoni: The Untold Story is the only big solo Hindi film release, so the advance booking for the weekend in multiplexes and single screens is almost full. The movie will reportedly release in more than 3000 plus screens. Also, there was no big release last week that can give this film a tough competition.
Check out the live review below:
Hari @HaRyblog
#MSDhoni #MSDhoniTheUntoldStory after baahubali this is probably d only dubbed movie which gets d audience on their feet, Dhoni d Rockstar

Sabina lamba @SabinaLamba
#MSDhoniTheUntoldStory 'Yawn' decently directed, enacted, never-ending ode to Dhoni -In other words -'BORING' :p
KRK @kamaalrkhan
First half is full of beautiful moments but really slow of #MSDhoni and it's because of unnecessary length only. Why Neeraj Pandey Ji why? Neeraj Pandey was hitting a six but out on boundary because of unnecessary length n too much cricket n less real life story of #MSDhoni I have heard about Hoors in Jannat but today I have seen a real Hoor on the earth and she is brilliant actress @Advani_Kiara of #MSDhoni
As we all know, the movie will showcase the journey of Dhoni that has never been told before. People know everything about Dhoni's cricket career but no one knows anything about his personal life and that's what makes it an interesting watch.
Also Read: M S Dhoni Movie Review
Talking about playing Dhoni on-screen, Sushant Singh Rajput told Livemint, ''Before I started working on cricketing skills, I watched him for hours and hours. My intention was to pick up things, and not have to think about them while shooting-small things, mannerisms, the way he talks. You need to practise these so much that they get wired into you.''
Also Read: Really SHOCKING! Sara Ali Khan Lost Two Big Films Because Of Mother Amrita Singh!
Sushant Singh Rajput further added, ''These things were in place even before we started working on the film. It's like just listening for the first three years after you are born, and then, suddenly, one day you start speaking. Or being able to ride a bicycle, look back and nobody is holding.''
Apart from Sushant, the movie also stars Kiara Advani, Anupam Kher and Disha Patani.

Starz, seemingly, has some logical reasons for the 14-month airtime hiatus. The channel needs to space out fresh programming (Black Sails, The Missing, The White Princess) in a manner that sustains it through 2017. It's also moving Outlander to Sunday nights, prime competition time on TV that has long been dominated by HBO, so the channel needs to do it right. In addition, Voyager's high production value boasts lengthy shoot times that must be factored in, although our OCB resident expert and screenwriter, Holly, offered a compelling argument for how they might accommodate for that by splitting the season into two, ala season 1.
Intellectually, we get it… sort of. But emotionally? Not so much. With nearly seven more months (*gasp*) of Droughtlander still ahead of us, one major question (beyond the obvious HOW WILL WE SURVIVE?) keeps rattling through my brain. What is Starz going to do to help already fatigued fans through this dismal time? If they're listening (and I hope they are), I've got some thoughts.
To date, Starz has offered little-to-no satiation in the way of, well, anything. Virtually no season 3 trailers, teasers, production vignettes, official production stills, you name it. Instead, we've resorted to lapping up every casting update or production nugget (goat food, as fellow writer and pal Anne Gavin put it) tossed our way in a fashion somewhat akin to an excitable farm animal at morning feedtime. It ain't pretty, but can you blame us? Right now, Starz is making us feel like one of the lovestruck gals in He's Just Not That Into You.
For a show that's reliant on an intensely passionate and loyal fandom — both online and off — and a network that launched an entire marketing campaign (remember #Obsessable?) paying homage to our lovably crazy behavior, you'd think they could throw us a bone. Sure, every now and again we get Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe's playful banter via live social media chats and canned videos (like this most recent one), but they're more like a mirage amidst the unending desert.
Let's just assume for a second that we'll get a season 3 trailer sometime in
The BBC does it right. BBC's Poldark — that show that fills our Outlander-devoid time — treats its devoted fandom to sneak peeks into the production process, regardless of whether they're in or out of season. I am well aware that plenty of cult fandom shows (The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones come to mind) leave fans in the dark for months, but Outlander doesn't have to follow this lead. Be better than those shows. #BeLikePoldark
We live in a highly digital, instant gratification-driven world where information is shared at lightning speed. On average, 6,000 tweets are sent EVERY SECOND. It's no wonder that digital will finally overtake TV in ad spending this year. But when it comes to highly shareable content that can meaningfully influence behavior, as it turns out, sometimes the best things in life are free. To put it bluntly, we are
In short, we ARE the Outlander influencers, so I encourage Starz to harness it responsibly and respectfully. In the words of the beloved Mrs. Fitz, we need something that's a bit… well, a bit more. Help us to help you, Starz.
And, how do you plan to survive 6+ more months until the premiere?

I know this has been asked before but from my searching it's been mixed with other topics and I find different responses.
I was thinking about using the WASC for a bear cake and thought I would get a poll going so the responses are all in one place.
If you use a different kind of cake please tell also. I know this would help me and many others wanting to carve a cake.
Great question, something I also would like to know, so here's a bump.
I've never actually tried it, but I have made the WASC a couple of times it it was quite dense IMO. So I think it probably would carve fine.
I use wasc and all its variations for carving. Its dense enough to stand up well and there are not a huge amount of crumbs. Just be sure any recipe you choose to use for carving is cold before you begin.
Hi pumpkinroses,
I just hand-carved my very first cake...a Lightning McQueen from Disney's Cars (see below). I used the WASC and leveled/torted/filled/carved the cake. IMO, it carved pretty good. I don't know what to compare it to since I've never carved anything else, but I would definitely use it again. Good luck with yours!!!
I just carved my BBQ sauce bottle cake last week, but I used the 'original' WASC cake recipe and had no problem. I did freeze the layers first which always helps!!
Juny1980, cute cake. Your 1st carved cake, looks great...maybe I'll have to break down & try this, it looks like fun.
Thanks for the replies. I have carved before but I used Elisa Strauss's Vanilla cake and didn't want to use that for my DD birthday next month because WASC is so good.
Juny1980, cute cake. Your 1st carved cake, looks great...maybe I'll have to break down & try this, it looks like fun.
Thanks, newnancy!!!

Latvia (Latvian: Latvija, Esperanto: Latvio), officially the Latvian Socialist Republic is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by Estonia, to the south by Lithuania, to the east by the Russian FSR, and to the southeast by Belarus SR. Across the Baltic Sea to the west lies Sweden. The territory of Latvia covers 64,589 km² and it has a temperate seasonal climate.
World War I devastated the territory of would-be Latvia, along with other western parts of the Russian Empire. The War of Independence (1920) was part of a general chaotic period of civil and new border wars in Eastern Europe. By the spring of 1920, there were actually three governments — Ulmanis' government; the Socialist Latvian government led by Pēteris Stučka, whose forces, supported by the Red Army, occupied almost all of the country; and the Baltic German government of United Baltic Duchy headed by Andrievs Niedra and supported by the Baltische Landeswehr and the German Freikorps unit Iron Division. The Red Army forces with the help of Red Latvian Riflemen recaptured Riga and destroyed the forces of Ulmanis' government.
An elected Constituent assembly was convened on 1920 and adopted a socialist constitution, in February 1922. However the Constituent assembly voted against a union with Russian FSR. The socialdemocratic majority being against it. The newly independent state obtained membership in the League of Nations in 1923, being the only socialist state that is a member to it.
A radical land reform was the central political question for the young state with the expropriation of the lands of Baltic Germans. By 1923, the extent of cultivated land surpassed the pre-war level. Innovation and rising productivity led to rapid growth of the economy, but it soon suffered from the effects of the Economic Crisis of 1930. A newly elected Bolshevik government pressed for a referendum on the union with the Federation of Socialist Republics (FSR). The results of 1931 where against it and marked the fall of the government and call for early elections of the Tautas Saeima. In 1938 it negotiated a Trade Cooperation Board, along Finland, Estonia and Lithuania, with the International Community of Socialist States (ICSS). The referendum of 1940 gave the approval to the membership in the ICSS.
Constitution and government
According to Constitution of 1922, all power resides in the people of Latvia thru their elected representatives, referendums and popular initiatives. All Latvian citizens (men and women) over 18 years old, and foreigners with more then 2 years of residence, are voters and enjoy all political rights.
- The Supreme state organ is the Tautas Saeima, composed of 100 representatives elected every 4 years.
- The President, elected by the Tautas Saeima, for a period of 5 years is the Head of State. The Council of Ministers and its president are designated by the Tautas Saeima.
- The judicial power is administered by the Justice Council and the Supreme Court.
The territorial organization of Latvia is:
- Regional Councils (in Kurzeme, Zemgale, Latgale and Vidzeme), that exercise cultural, economical, social services and local government coordination. Its members are part elected by the inhabitants of the regions and the councils of the municipalities and republican cities.
- Municipalities (Latvian: Novads)
- and 9 Republican Cities (Lativan: republikas pilsētas)
The main political parties are from the Worker's Coalition, formed by Latvian Social Democratic Workers' Party and Communist Party of Latvia. Outside the Worker's Coalition exists the Popular Front of Latvia (center-left). The main bourgeois parties are the Democratic Centre and Latvian Farmers' Union. Representing the German minority are German-Baltic Democratic Party and German-Baltic Progressive Party. For the Jewish minority, the Mizrachi (center-right) and the Bund (General Jewish Labour Bund of Lithuania, Poland and Russia, center-left and Yiddish speaking).
Languages of Latvia
According to the Constitution, the official languages of Latvia are the Latvian (since 1919) and Esperanto (1935). The Latgalian dialect and Livonian have a special status. Other languages recognized, that can be used by educational and cultural associations are Russian, German and Yiddish.
Agriculture, in early years the main economic sector of Latvia, has been replaced rapidly by industrial production and services. Important industrial sectors are machine building (buses, vans, street and railroad cars, agricultural machinery, washing machines) and electronics (radios, consumer electronics and scientific apparatus) and textiles (synthetic fibers). However for its industrial development Latvia is dependent on imports of raw materials and energy. Latvian agriculture is a major supplier of meat and dairy products, mainly to Belarus and Russian FSR. The membership in the ICSS promoted the creation of new industries in Latvia, including a major machinery factory (Riga Autobus Factory, RAF) in Jelgava, electrotechnical factories in Riga, chemical factories in Daugavpils, Valmiera and Olaine, as well as some food and oil processing plants.
Transportation is a relatively small but important branch of Latvia's economy. The infrastructure is geared heavily toward foreign trade, which is conducted mainly by rail and water. Roads are used for most domestic freight transport. The ports of Riga, Ventspils, and Liepaja are important for trade because they can be used during all seasons and the dense network of railroads and roads links them with many of the landlocked regions of neighboring countries. The country's main airport is in Riga.

Why Own Bonds
Learn the five things our Chief Fixed Income Strategist believes you should think about before you sell your bonds.
What Bond Investors Need to Know Today
With the potential for rising interest rates, you may be thinking about selling your bonds just in case their prices should start to fall. In the "Why Own Bonds?" report, Brian Rehling, Co-Head of Global Fixed Income Strategy at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, discusses five considerations he believes bond investors should address before they sell. Key points covered include:
- Performance. You may actually find a rising-rate environment to be profitable if you look at total return.
- Diversification. If you move away from bonds, your portfolio is likely to become more concentrated in other investments.
- Volatility. With less fixed income, you could be in for a bumpier ride.
- Liquidity. Bonds can offer an effective strategy for having money when you need it.

This report contains useful information for bond investors. It can be especially beneficial when you meet with your Financial Advisor to determine the adjustments, if any, to make to your fixed income investments to help position them for the possibility of rising interest rates.Download Your Copy
Investing in fixed income securities involves certain risks, such as market risk if sold prior to maturity and credit risk, especially if investing in high yield bonds, which have lower ratings and are subject to greater volatility. All fixed income investments may be worth less than original cost upon redemption or maturity. Bond prices fluctuate inversely to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a general rise in interest rates can result in the decline of the value of your investment.

Report summaryCassini Resources Limited acquired the West Musgrave Project from BHP Billiton in 2014. Cassini paid BHP an initial deposit of A$250,000 for the project along with a 2% smelter royalty. An additional A$10 million would be paid to BHP after the mine has operated for one full year.
Cassini released the results of a scoping study in early 2015. This considered two cases, the first a staged ramp-up from 1.5Mtpa to 4Mtpa in the eighth year of operation, and the second a 4Mtpa case. The first case is considered in the accompanying analysis.
Cassini expects to release the results of a pre-feasibility study in 2016.

IN a market in which every penny counts, the Harvard endowment has embarked on a campaign that, at least on paper, has already squeezed extra profits out of its investments in two closed-end China funds.
The funds are advised by a subsidiary of Franklin Templeton Investments and run by J. Mark Mobius, the longtime emerging-markets investor.
Harvard, the largest stakeholder in the funds, Templeton China World and Templeton Dragon, has urged shareholders to fire Templeton at annual meetings later this year and start to liquidate the funds. ''Templeton has too many conflicts of interest to be trusted to do the right thing,'' Harvard said in a statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Dec. 26. ''What is best for the fund is bad for Templeton.''
Templeton executives, however, say that Harvard is engaging in a short-term arbitrage strategy at the expense of long-term shareholders and that the endowment has repeatedly used similar tactics against other closed-end funds.
At issue is a problem common to closed-end funds: they often trade at discounts to the value of their underlying assets. That is because closed-end funds, as their name implies, have a finite number of shares, and they trade at whatever price investors will pay. Open-end mutual funds trade at their net asset value, with the number of shares on the market expanding or contracting with shareholder demand.Continue reading the main story
Persistent discounts in closed-end funds have frustrated investors, who can only cash out at the market price, rather than the net asset value. Under these circumstances, if a fund were shut down, or converted into an open-end fund, the discount would disappear, and share prices would rise.
Since Harvard began its campaign, the discount for the two China funds has narrowed, although Harvard cannot cash out its shares while it is engaged in a proxy fight. Harvard argues that shareholders should replace Templeton's management and the funds' directors ''due to management's unwillingness or inability to eliminate the discount and the board's apparent inability to think independently from management,'' said Steven A. Alperin, vice president for emerging markets at Harvard Investment Management.
Before Harvard's first S.E.C. filing in the dispute, on Sept. 18, the China World and Dragon funds both traded at larger discounts than did similar closed-end funds, according to data from Morningstar Inc. From Jan. 1, 2001, through August 2002, the average monthly discount was 16.4 percent, versus 12.4 percent for the category. Those discounts have narrowed. China World shares closed on Thursday at $10.32, a discount of 6.5 percent to their net asset value, while those of the Dragon fund traded at $9.07, a discount of 8.2 percent.
Still, based on the funds' performance, most investors would seem to have little to complain about. For all of 2002, the China World fund gained 34.1 percent. While much of that performance reflected the narrowing of the fund's discount, the fund's underlying investments increased 15.5 percent in value, according to Morningstar; the Dragon fund gained 21.1 percent for the year, with an increase in its underlying investments of 12.2 percent. China World's performance outranked 96 percent of the funds in its category, while Dragon's surpassed 94 percent, according to Morningstar.
Over the three years through Dec. 27, the China World fund gained 10.5 percent, annualized, while its underlying assets rose 1.7 percent. The Dragon fund gained 5 percent, annualized, but lost 1 percent of its net asset value.
''We are not questioning Templeton's ability to pick stocks in China,'' Mr. Alperin said. Instead, he said, the dispute is about Templeton's ''unwillingness to enhance shareholder value'' by changing the fund's status.
Harvard's proposal calls for a merger and subsequent conversion of the two funds into a so-called interval fund. This would mean a redemption of shares at regular intervals, and could lead to the fund's elimination. Templeton would be required to offer to redeem at least 15 percent of all outstanding shares each quarter, paying the full net asset value for each share. ''An interval fund would allow shareholders to vote on Templeton's management with their feet,'' Mr. Alperin said.
HARVARD owns 30 percent of the China World fund and 14 percent of the Dragon fund, stakes it has accumulated since 1998. The endowment's stake in about 50 closed-end funds is worth some $450 million, Mr. Alperin said.
Mr. Mobius, the director of all emerging-markets investments for Templeton, declined to comment. Gregory E. Johnson, a vice president at Franklin Resources, Franklin Templeton's parent, said that while Harvard was clearly seeking short-term profit, many other shareholders, including individual investors, were seeking long-term capital appreciation, which is best achieved under a closed-end structure for an illiquid market like China's.
''If you look at Harvard's history, its motivation is to open-end these funds and to realize quick gains at the expense of other shareholders,'' he said.
In the last three years, he said, Harvard issued statements saying it was considering a move to unseat the management of the Brazilian Equity fund, the Asia Tigers fund, and the Mexico Fund. In each case, the funds converted to open-end or interval status or offered to redeem all shares.
Directors of the China World fund, almost all of them also members of the Dragon fund's board, recommended in mid-November the conversion of China World to an open-end fund but rejected any change in the Dragon fund's format. The split was attributable in part to a provision in the China World charter requiring consideration of an open-end format in 2003, Mr. Johnson said. In addition, managers can more easily sell the fund's holdings, which are made of illiquid Chinese securities, without incurring major losses because of its relatively small size of $190 million of assets. That would be much more difficult in the case of the Dragon fund, which is valued at $700 million and has similarly illiquid holdings, Mr. Johnson said.
Harvard described the offer to convert China World into an open-end fund as disingenuous. ''We believe Templeton hopes the open-ending proposal will fail but will fool shareholders into thinking Templeton is trying to do the right thing,'' Harvard stated in its proxy statement on Dec. 26.
The university has also criticized the outside directors of the China World fund, all of whom are on Dragon's board. In the Dec. 26 statement, it urged shareholders to remove them -- Betty P. Krahmer, Gordon S. Macklin and Fred R. Millsaps. Brian Lorenz, a lawyer for the outside directors, said his clients had declined to discuss the matter on his advice. He said the board would respond in a letter to regulators.
Thomas J. Herzfeld, president of Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors in Miami, which trades and analyzes closed-end funds, said it was increasingly common for institutions like Harvard to try to open closed-end funds. ''In this dispute,'' he said, ''management is giving its standard argument and Harvard is saying what any large shareholder would. In my view, each side is half accurate.''Continue reading the main story

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My brothers lawyer did what seemed to be the minimum amount of work to represent him in a case involving distribution to a minor where facts and evidence was either neglected or unused. Instead of fighting the case he urged a guilty plea which did not work to my brothers favor. My brother doing so under the assurance he would not go to jail. Then appeals were withheld by the lawyers office for over a month against strong urging from their clients; my mother and brother who are paying them to represent them justly. Then when the appeals are filed they include the start of my brothers school as reason for an early release, however the date they included was wrong despite knowledge of the correct date. It has seemed to me they are only collecting the money. Can a suit be filed?
If your brother feels his lawyer didn't represent him appropriately and engage in an ethical violation the first step is to report him to the appropriate disciplinary organization. Follow this link to file a complaint in Ohio. http://www.supremecourt.ohio.gov/DisciplinarySys/odc/complaint.aspAsk a similar question
That is engaged in, pardon my typo.
You can sue a lawyer for legal malpractice if you feel his handling of the lawsuit was below the standard of care applicable to the lawyers in the community in that field. However, it is not easy to prevail on a legal malpractice lawsuit. Just because you feel your lawyer was not as diligent as he should have been or did not do everything he should have done, does not mean you have a viable legal malpractice claim. In order to prevail, you have to show not only that the lawyer's conduct was below the standard of care but also that you were damaged by it. If you would have ended up with the same result even if the lawyer had acted differently, you have no damages. You should consult a legal malpractice lawyer in your state.

New Delhi: University student union leaders in the forefront of a standoff with the BJP government at the Centre on Friday stressed on a "united struggle" with JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar, dubbing the issue as one between "Sanghistan and Hindustan".
The plea for a united front, "keeping differences alive" and the need to break out of "seminars" found resonance in the voices of Kanhaiya of AISF, JNU student leaders Shehla Rashid Shora of AISA, Umar Khalid, a former DSU leader, Allahabad University union president Richa Singh at an event here. A close friend of Rohit Vemula, Hyderabad University student D Prashanth of Ambedkar Students' Association was also present at the event "Pratirodh 2" that saw pro-Left student leaders ranging from moderate to radical camps sharing a common platform.
Richa set the tone by pointing to the need to come together, despite "ideological differences", saying that the theme of resistance should be common across all universities. Addressing the leftist intellectuals in the gathering, Kanhaiya said that he has a "complaint" against the older generation for having "widened the differences" to an extent that "we are having a tough time" trying to bring unity.
"If you would have done this, then uniting Gandhi and Ambedkar would not have been so tough for us. Why don't we stand together with both against RSS violence? We will have to take our fight out of seminar halls to our villages. We will have to reject binaries," he said. Condemning the violence in NIT Srinagar, Kanhaiya said a "war" unleashed inside campuses is against democracy and alleged that the campuses are being turned into "battlefields".
"I condemn the violence in Srinagar and the violence in HCU because this is institutional violence and it is dangerous for democracy," he said. Shehla noted that the political groupings normally stress on the need for coming together while "keeping our differences aside". "Let's say keeping our differences alive, let's get together to defeat them. We celebrate this political diversity."
On the theme of unity, Umar said intellectuals should ponder whether universities are turning into "islands". In order to resist and "isolate RSS", the support of a cross section of people is needed, he said. Prashanth, who was expelled along with Rohith, said that Hyderabad Central University Vice Chancellor Appa Rao has turned the institution into a "jail". "We were sent to jail recently and even jail atmosphere was better than University of Hyderabad," he claimed.
Kanhaiya used the occasion to respond to charges that he was overstaying in JNU as a student and was wasting tax-payers' money. "The tragedy of this country is that many people are unaware that doing Ph.D itself takes 28 years… Your money is being spent wisely. It's wrong in the case where a person remains perpetually on flight mode wearing a Rs 4 lakh suite.
The fact that I am pursuing my Ph.D in JNU despite having a poor financial background itself proves that your subsidy money is being spent wisely," he said.
