Lets Change The Way We Protest!!

It’s been ages we have been protesting through posters, banners, candle march, rally and many more. We all have witnessed the 2011 JanLokpal Andolan and 2012 Nirbhaya Andolan, and it is sad to accept that these did not produce the result that was expected. A general question arises whether our government is used to such uproar and waits till it dies? A Large public gathering sometimes are unlawful due to presence of unsocial elements and sometimes it goes very dangerous and results in a riot! Water cannon, Laathicharge, Enforcement of Section 144 etc., cause much inconvenience to public resulting in delaying of trains, violating traffic and loss to public property.

Protests were always a medium of change and the modern day protests have failed completely in making a markable change! Gathering of hundred of unsocial element and shouting, creating a chaos is a serious threat to our society and Gandhi’s culture.

SO, SHOULD WE NOT CHANGE THE WAY WE PROTEST?

Yes, we should!

Firstly, we should ensure that being a part of any protest should not involve our pure personal interest. It cannot be regarded as a ‘Protest’ unless it possesses a social interest and welfare soul. We have witnessed Patel Patidar Aarakshan Andolan and Jat Aarakshan Andolan which are pure examples of anarchism! and they completely involved personal pleasure and political interest. Being a part of Anarchism or ‘Fake Protest’ is deadly for our society and these types of social drama and violence hurts and weakens general view towards protest and their result producing capacities!
Being a part of largest democratic society, a proper, peaceful, simple and violence free Gandhi Ji’s way of protest is the need of the hour!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!
