New Delhi: Over a year after she was attacked on campus, Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) president Aishe Ghosh is back in the news again. This time for far better reasons.Â
Ghosh provided arguably the defining image of the violence allegedly carried out by ABVP activists at JNU in December 2019 â visuals showed blood streaming down her face as she was being rushed to hospital before she defiantly turned up with a bandaged head later.  Â
Ghosh is probably the first sitting JNUSU president to contest assembly elections. Member of CPM’s student wing SFI, she became the president in 2019. The top post was claimed by the SFI after a 13-year gap though it was a Left coalition at work.
Ghosh graduated in political science from Delhi University’s Daulat Ram College. She was involved in student politics from her college days. She moved to JNU for her masters.
Aishe was at JNU stir when candidature announced
The 2020 fee hike protest had started during her tenure as president, but it was after the January 5 violence when she received injury in the head and hand that she gained larger prominence. Ghosh led from the front demanding justice and action against the perpetrators.

NEW DELHI: JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh, whose photographs of bandaged forehead became one of the most powerful images of the 2020 fee hike movement, will be contesting the West Bengal assembly election on CPM ticket from Jamuria. The 25-year-old from Durgapur is pursuing MPhil/Phd from the School of International Relations.
Ghosh joins a long list of ex-JNUSU presidents who graduated to state and national politics: DP Tripathi, Prakash Karat, Sitaram Yechuri, Chandrashekhar Prasad, Shakeel Ahmed Khan, Tanvir Akhtar and Kanhaiya Kumar. With the exception of Tanveer who won as an NSUI candidate, the others represented Left student bodies of different hues.
