Concerned with society - get out of the ivory towers.

Under the suppression of imperialism and feudalism, the Thai society is in constant flux and full of contradictions. After the Second World War, the American imperialists exploited the strategic location of Thailand in the encirclement of China and as a stepping stone to invade Indochina. In Thailand, the military junta grasped power, externally flirted with the imperialists by betraying the national sovereignty and domestically made the people to live in an abyss of suffering.

Yet in the Sixties, the traditional education system and the oligarchic political situation only drove the Thai University students to piles of book, chasing after certificates and diplomas. The Thai University students, at that time, were indifferent to society and country. They were apathetic to politics.

By the turn of the Sixties, the increasely frenzied invasion of the Americans in Vietnam has provoked the roars of justice from people all over the world. The worldwide student activism has brought its impacts on Thailand. In 1968, University students of Bangkok organised anti-American patriotic movements. They began to put forward demands on the immediate abolishment of the "Thai-US Treaty" and "restraining the Thai army from fighting in foreign countries as mercenaries". At the same time, they also proposed to get rid of the rottening education system.
