Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent.

Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it.

The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marching on roads is good but if that becomes the reason of heavy loss including the lives of people then something is not going right.

I simply don’t understand why people don’t get it that they are destroying their own property. They have paid taxes on regular basis to build whatever they are destroying. There is no denying in this fact that politics is involved in it. But this is not something we should give to our coming generations to read to. This is not the tomorrow martyrs have given their lives for.

We should be ashamed of what we are doing to ourselves and our country. By being violent and becoming the reason for a big loss of the country, isn’t going to help any better. It could only worsen the situation no matter, for which purpose you are protesting.

The truth is we don’t love our country enough to not harm it. We are selfish and we only think of our and our loved one’s survival. The day country slips in to the loved one’s corner of your heart you will not be able to harm your country even if you want to. The day we accept this country as our own, we will never ever try to do such things. It’s all about loving the country like we love our family and friends. Everyone has someone very special whom they love the most. We need to add our country in that special list.

I am sure the country will see dramatic positive changes the day we accept this reality that we are the only reason behind the failure of anything. We should be the one to take responsibility and make things better.
