Students' Federation of India - Philosophy

Philosophy

The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) is a Marxist organization. It is the student wing of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The slogan of the SFI is “Independence, Democracy, and Socialism!”

The SFI believes that education is a major tool of social transformation and that this concept is especially relevant in a country like India, where regressive forces still prevail. Proper education, they believe, will counteract such forces and will help to build a new society based on rationality and justice. The SFI is an organization of students which is ever aware of its role in society. It identifies with a society's progressive forces and is totally committed to the idea of independence, democracy, and socialism.

Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    “The real discovery is the one which enables me to stop doing philosophy when I want to.—The one that gives philosophy peace, so that it is no longer tormented by questions which bring itself into question.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “Even healthy families need outside sources of moral guidance to keep those tensions from imploding—and this means, among other things, a public philosophy of gender equality and concern for child welfare. When instead the larger culture aggrandizes wife beaters, degrades women or nods approvingly at child slappers, the family gets a little more dangerous for everyone, and so, inevitably, does the larger world.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (20th century)

    “When Philosophy with its abstractions paints grey in grey, the freshness and life of youth has gone, the reconciliation is not a reconciliation in the actual, but in the ideal world.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
