The railway recruitment controversy  has created a high voltage drama in recent times. The Railway Recruitment Board published the results of NTPC (non- technical popular categories) a few days back. The students who attended the exam were not satisfied with the result and started protesting against the board. The protest took a violent shape as the students became aggressive and burnt 2 trains. Following violence perpetrated by protesting  students, Indian railways has suspended the ongoing recruitment drive for NTPC. This protest took place mainly in UP and Bihar.

Same scenario was seen in Delhi during the protest by farmers on Farm Bills last year. The disturbing elements in the face of farmers were protesting violently, burning the buses, damaging Government and public properties, creating problems for our police force leading injurious to them. Even they did not spare our Red fort.  A flag belonging to the khalistanis was hoisted parallel to our Tricolor which is a serious offence.

 A question arises that, is violence the only effective way to register our protest? Creating nuisance, blocking roads and Railway routes, blocking the traffic and forcing people to take longer alternative routes, destroying our public properties.  Don't we have other peaceful means to protest Yes we do have the right to expression but that doesn't mean we will do anything that we want. We don't have the right to destroy our public properties, it is our duty to protect them. 

We must look out for other alternative of protesting peacefully like joining more and more people on social media for registering their grievances, talking to the responsible authority and showing the peaceful protest to them. Yes we can conduct but that must be done peacefully,  not just blocking the roads, burning tyres and vehicles and creating a havoc.

We can also make human chains by adding more and more people against any issue to drive  the attention of the responsible authority.

It must be our collective responsibility to conduct protest peacefully so that no any citizen is disturbed, no public properties are destroyed and none of our security personnel are injured. Our rights do matter a lot but anybody's life matters more than it. We cannot take anybody's right of living just for the sake of our rights. 

At last I would conclude by urging your to seek for more and more alternatives of protests rather than protesting violently.

Thank you❤️
