The Student Federations of Pakistan have been growing in popularity and significance over the past few years. This has been attributed to the increasing social disparity between the younger and older generation of the country. 66% of population of Pakistan is currently under the age of 30,〔Saeed Shah (November 20, 2009).(British Council: Pakistan facing 'frightening' demographic disaster ).''The Telegraph''. Accessed 2013-4-18〕 and approximately only 5% of the population is over the age of 65.〔(Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, World Population Prospects: The 2010 Revision )〕 Researchers have noted the significance of political youth organizations in social environments such as these, and have project that the youth organizations in Pakistan will help define the future of the nation over the next few years.〔Michael Kugelman (January 2012). (Prospects for youth-led movements for political change in Pakistan ) ''Norwegian Peacebuilding Resource Center''〕 Reporters have noted that Pakistan’s political climate is in a current state of divisive unrest. Political actions taken within the country have simultaneously sparked public celebrations and large scale riots.〔Hasnain Kazim (January 15, 2013). (Unrest and Political Uncertainty: Pakistan Tumbles into Chaos ) ''Spiegel Online International'', Accessed 2013-4-22〕 Due to the demographics of the country, the population under the age of 30 has been very involved in these public actions, and the youth and student organizations within the country have been prominent in the formation of some of these actions. ==Background== A New Student Federation ASF(Alliance Student Federation) Started in 2014 The first student political group in Pakistan was the Muslim Students Federation. Started in 1947, as a student wing of the Muslim League, the Muslim Students Federation held prominence in Pakistan until the Muslim League splinted shortly after coming to power.〔Nadeem F. Paracha. (Student politics in Pakistan: A celebration, lament and history ) ''The Nadeem F. Paracha Works Archive''〕 The 1950s saw the rise of two kinds of political student parties; Left leaning Marxist parties like the Democratic Students Federation,〔Beena Sarwar, (August 22, 2011). (Aur Nikle.nge Ushhaq ke Qafley - a documentary film on DSF (1949-54) 30 min (2010) ) 〕 and religious right wing parties like the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba.〔(Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba Pakistan )〕 The leftist groups were not treated kindly by the ruling powers at the time, and in 1953 during a protest led by the Democratic Student Federation, the police shot into the crowd killing six students.〔Fawad Hasan, (January 2, 2013). (Students Demands Day: the struggle continues ) ''PUBLICi'' Accessed 2012-4-22〕 The next year the same group was banned from the country for its possible ties to the Communist party of Pakistan, followed shortly thereafter by a ban of its successor group the All Pakistan Students Organization.〔 These groups were succeeded by yet another leftist group, the National Students Federation, which continues on to this day. The student unions in the 1960s were characterized primarily as a struggle for power between the Maoist-Soviet leaning left and the religious right, with the leftist National Students Federation and the National Students Organization coming out on top. The 1970s brought with it a rise in student political action as the 1974 Student Union Ordinance was passed.〔Jayatsen Bhattacharya, (October 17, 2012). (A catch he can't miss ) ''HindustanTimes'' Accessed 2013-4-22〕 This Ordinance actually encouraged student activity on campus, and several prominent new student organizations came into existence and grew during this time. Meanwhile, the struggle between the Marxist and religious student associations grew, with both sides creating their own respective alliances, though both groups suffered from political infighting and splintering. Through the late 1970s and into the 1980s the student groups began to clash violently with each other and the government. All its happened due to Zia Ul Haq, who victimised progressive, liberal and democratic students. Doors of the colleges and universities were closed for the students of PSF, but in spite of all hardles in MAO College Lahore a group of students like Sahar Dabir, Jamshed Butt, Main Ayub And Tanveer Khan continued his struggle. jamshed but was an excellent speaker and an out standing political brain. He was the mastermind of all political games which were playing in those days among the librial students while sahar dubir sunny and tanver khan were his fighting tigers. Jamshed wrote and spoke against Zia throughout his ruling days. While Sunny and Tanver were involved in different criminal cases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of student federations of Pakistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
