🤗to all,
I have only got a couple of questions. After staying in India for almost a month, I have had to see and mostly watch on Aaj Tak😆...
1. Dera Vivad in Punjab -- jalandar band for a day; punjab band for a day, violence in Batinda, jammu etc., roads getting blocked by Dera supporters or Sikhs in protest, cops just acting as bystanders... govt. supporting the band in punjab... a little bit calmed down now, but still going on I believe
2. Gujjar community vs. rajasthan govt; gujjars doing protests regarding unfulfilled promises by govt on reservation, roads blocked, rail-roads blocked/destroyed, train/bus services affected, passengers/tourists caught in rajasthan, govt. inviting the opposite group (meenals?) to suppress gujjars (idiotic move), hence clash between groups, too, open fire by police at protestors, cops dead, too, lots of property lost... govt. only talked of/got compromise after 6 days...plenty of people dead by then, and lots of inconvenince for "normal" people, and then govt. celebrating (jale par namak🤢) openly. Issue on hold for 3 months now.
3. Delhi band in support of gujjars in rajasthan... peaceful protest turned into blocking traffic for a day, throwing stones at DTC busses, lots of property lost, passengers hurt, and cops did NOTHING. finally supreme court asks who is gonna pay up, and why cops did nothing.👏
4. News on tv. about cops beating up an old guy (who was in police dept. earler) ...cops drunk in police-station; News about general public (a lady) beating up a lawyer (2) with her chappal, and the lawyer was in blood. cops came later...News on tv. about laywers holding a dalit guy to a tree outside the court, spitting on him, shavng his head off for some reason... cops doing nothing again.
I can' believe how much I have seen just in a month.😆
Who is to be responsible in these situtations? people are beating up law-makers, and vice-versa. People are doing so much damage to property; govt. is playing its own games. How can any country progress as such? how does one beat this system? What is to be done? Do you believe that govt. actually promotes caste system thru reservation? How do you go about changing this system? who is to take the first step? HOw? Change it to what to promote diversity? Income based system?
Not a great description of all, but still hoping to find some good answers.
Persy
