π€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 Takπ...
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 namakπ€’) 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.π
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.π
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.

This is religious sentiment.... who did it.... the religious gurus and dera guru....
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 namakπ€’) openly.

This is caste's demands..... who did it the gujjar leaders.... the people just follow
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.π
Again the caste demands.... who did it... the Gujjar MPs... the leaders in delhi who have some power there....
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.
Who did this.... Aaj tak... the news channel just show all the spicy things .... and this happens all over the world not only in India.... u have people shooting lawyers in USA and other parts of the world too and vice versa...
I can' believe how much I have seen just in a month.π
Ur time just turned out to be wrong
Who is to be responsible in these situtations?
People, who blindly follow the leaders who want positions... and literacy rate which does nt allow independent thinking of people....
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?
Thats why rather than just writing frustration or ignoring this things will not work... the society has to change its views and only people can change this situation.... the society is changing and we can see the progress in more developed states... However damage to public property and private property remains to be the core area of concern, poverty is the base reason for this as this people are paid for doing this violence by few leaders ....
how does one beat this system? What is to be done?
People have to wake up and not follow the selfish leaders.... they need to have independent thinking... Only change of thinking in people of India can change it.... but its not easy to handle the population of 1 billion over
Do you believe that govt. actually promotes caste system thru reservation? How do you go about changing this system?
Government is promoting caste system for vote purposes.... this can be stopped legally or willingly.... I believe that the government should legally ban the castes and punish the people calling names on castes.... only religions should be prevalent.... and then also there should be no reservations....
Willingly it can be done by people by changing their own thinking... it has lot to do with their upbrining and surroundings
who is to take the first step? HOw? Change it to what to promote diversity? Income based system?
There are few people fighting agaist the government policy to divide the country in castes.... but those have been the peaceful protests.... i would say the only peaceful protests in last few years... except for jesica laal case.... However police was very much active on this peaceful protesters and they just sat against violent protesters....

It is the people who are responsible for this and it is only them who can change it.... and I am the part of people so I can change it tooπ
