All India Democratic Youth Organisation

.

All India Democratic Youth Organization (AIDYO) was formed on June 26, 1966, with the stated purpose of uniting the youth of India to fight all social menaces and atrocities such as superstition, communalism, casteism, regionalism, religious fundamentalism, etc. [Shibdas Ghosh: " [http://marxists.anu.edu.au/archive/shibdas-ghosh/1967/09/17.htm To the youth] "]

The All India President of the organization is Dr. B.R Manjunath. [State-level youth conference to begin on Feb 2 http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IE120070124222837&Page=1&Title=Bangalore&Topic=0]

AIDYO organizes youth movements against various policies of the state and the central government which affects the youths who are analysed as anti-people, pro-capitalist, as per the ideology put forth by Shibdas Ghosh. The organisation strives to do away with what they analyse as decadent capitalist-imperialist culture and its degenerative influence (obscenity, vulgarity, obsession with sex, indulgence in narcotic alcoholism, etc.) [AIDYO, AIMSS activists tear apart ‘sleazy’ ad hoardings http://www.deccanherald.com/Archives/aug22005/district185959200581.asp] [AIDYO to stage rally in Bangalore http://www.hindu.com/2005/08/13/stories/2005081305470300.htm] [ AIDYO to organize 'Vidhana Saudha Chalo' on July 15 http://www.deccanherald.com/archives/july112004/d2.asp] [Students protest sex education http://www.tribuneindia.com/2007/20070526/delhi.htm#4] .

The organisation encourages the youth to observe the birth and death anniversaries of the great men of history who fought for secular democratic and revolutionary ideology in their time which is of social relevance even now.
