ANNFSU flag

The All Nepal National Free Students Union (Nepali: अखिल नेपाल राष्ट्रिय स्वतन्त्र विद्यार्थी युनियन, abbreviation अनेरास्ववियु) is a student based organisation in Nepal. The ANNFSU was founded in 1965. The original ANNFSU was later divided along ideological lines, and there are several organisations that emerged out of it. The main ANNFSU grouping today is politically tied to the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist). As well as declaring itself a legitimate and independent students' organisation of all progressive, democratic and patriotic students of Nepal, the mainstream ANNFSU is currently a member of the World Federation of Democratic Youth.

[edit] History

The organisation was founded in 1965, and was associated with the pro-China trend of the Nepalese communist movement. ANNFSU did however remain as a united organisation, in spite of various splits amongst the radical communists. The ANNFSU gained prominence as an activist movement in a period when large sections of the established communist movement remained in jail.

In 1979 ANNFSU was split. One section would be known as ANNFSU (Fifth) (which was tied to the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist-Leninist)) and the other grouping became known as ANNFSU (Sixth) (which was connected to the Communist Party of Nepal (Fourth Convention). The former group is the current mainstream ANNFSU connected to CPN(UML).

In 1992 the students wing of the Communist Party of Nepal (Marxist), the Nepal Progressive Students Union, merged with ANNFSU.[1]

[edit] ANNFSU Song

The ideology of the ANNFSU can be seen strongly in their official song.

Red as the morning sun
Red as the alpine rhododendron
This is the banner of ANNFSU
Coloured red with the martyrs' blood.
Born in struggle, it grew through movements
It always fought for the country and the people
Smearing the soil with blood for justice
It blazes the trail for liberation.
It appeals all the students-
Progressive, patriotic and democratic-
To make united effort to raise the dignity of the country.
The US superpower wants to rule the world
The people of the world want revolution instead
The US superpower intensifies war
But the peoples' voice quakes the world.
We pledge to build this country
With our sweat and blood
And drive away feudalism and expansionism
We shall not allow anyone to touch this country
No matter how many lives have to be sacrificed.
Indian expansionists intend to swallow Nepal
Let us rally together to upset their plan
And pledge to build this country
Even at the cost of death
