General information
KSU entered the center stage of student politics in Kerala with the famous "Orana Samaram", a strike for travel concessions for students in buses and boats owned by the state. From then onwards, the growth of KSU was tremendous. the main reasons for this growth were the private college managements had extended their support to the KSU. They were eager to encourage the KSU against the KSF which was antimanagement in its outlook. Thus the students who were keen to please the powerful managements found an opportunity for it by supporting the KSU. Secondly, the powerful communities of Kerala like the Nairs and Christians too supported the Kerala Students Union. They felt threatened by the utterances of the radical KSF leaders who were out to destroy the managers' stronghold on the educational institutions. So the KSU could grow in the suitable climate of anticommunist feeling which was widespread during the liberation struggle. Thirdly, the newspapers of Kerala played a crucial role to suit the interests of the KSU. The KSU leaders and their statements were given the pride of place by them in these newspapers. In other words, most of the newspapers promoted the interests of the KSU
