People usually mind their business and do not bother what happens or what is going in other persons life unless there is a strong relation or connection. In today's connected world, the neighbours may have spoke to each other, but people remain in touch with people far away. This is the trend of the modern society or the modern civilizations. We are far away yet very near, and very near yet far away. The reason is that people are busy with their own set of worries and have no time for others lives, unless they are into gossiping. There gossip mongers are the essential connections between the lives of various people. Few housewives, the maids who work at the homes at various houses in today's soceities are the status updaters. This was continuing from very long times, the status updating in some form or other.
The people who usually are not mindful of other people's problems, suddenly come to the streets and hold placards and stand in sun or in the night is a indication that things are not as they are supposed to be. Whether the people are paid to do so or they have come on their own or also with a little push is different matter. Usually when a political party is involved in the protests the latter cases may be in point. But when a horrific incident like a gangrape of women on the capital of the country takes places and the people from all walks of life coming together for a common cause is a sure shot work of not a political party. The emotional connection between the people has been done and the anger gets multiplied in a group and the protesters may go violent.
What the government should do? Recently in Mumbai there was a rally by a minority community against atrocities against their religious people in some neighbouring country. The rally turned violent, the police beaten, press beaten, and monument of national importance was damaged in the course of rally. The police didnot charge any lathis, no water cannons, no tear gas, etc. when a fool named Baba Ramdev, protested in a 5star range, in Delhi, at night the police evacuated all the people by using Ramdev should fear Media more than he fears the God. Also now the police is evacuating and using mild force dispersing the protestors, because the protests are being carried out against our government of the majority, for their inaction to do justice for our fellow citizen.
If the prosters are gong on a rampage and killing one another, then Governemnt and the media think of telling the protestors to come to talks. The media may sit in their AC rooms and tell the people to maintain peace. With a large scale voilence about burst, with no option left if police fires at the peopel real bullets instead
of rubber bullets, then it is a pogom, holocoust. The government should have announced peace talks in such a situation. There is big industry which works on some skewed agenda funded by unknown sources. If the protestors are peaceful, force is used and if the protestors are violent then police maintains calm. When both people act it is called a pogom or mass murdering or a holocoust in our country.
Our media houses, doesnot count the death of a soldier, police as equivalent to the injury of people of some particular caste, region. The lives of minorities are more priority than others put together. But the questions that is never discussed why should in a democratic country, a MP doesnot talk what the people want. People have to demand answers from elected respresentatives, and donot want as per the requirement. When the MPs is supposed to cast his vote, he walks out. Whether what we have is a democracy is highly questionable, with nobody willing to take action for the fear of being punished by the Media Morons. But luckily if you are from wealthy back ground and if you have paid at the proper locations you may be protected and even may be projected the way you want.
When protesters come out to the streets and demand justice, what other work f**king the parties have, than to come out and talk to the people. The power center of this country doesnot want to issue a statement, but talks when son-in-law is accused. Since Delhi is not her constituency and hence powercenter is not responsible for the citizens. Since Delhities have given more votes to BJP in the municipal elections, they have suffer as a punishment for not falling in line with the party in power at the State level. If this is the mentality of the current government, then there is no wonder the "Cash for Votes" scheme being implemented hurriedly through UDAI "Direct Cash Transfer" is highly useful. Yuvraj also claimed that this scheme(scam) will bring the party to power for the next two general elections
This is what happens when people sleep for very long times, and worry about their own families and be in their own worlds. The divide that is happenning in the society, the imbalance, the injustice will all come out in various forms. This rape is just one form and mere laws donot help, but its implementation is requried. Since many of the MPs are having some or other cases related women, the law for sexual harassment will take a very long time to draft, because all the powerful politicians and their kith, kin all have to protected and all theirs cases should be able to escape through the loopholes of the law that is drafted.
I hope very little action will result in the end, because we as a nation forgot to respect women on a day to day basis. For quite a few these protests are way venting
a anger and being part of the fun.
