Gujjars protest and students weep

Gujjar protests and university exams
It has becom a norm in India to show your protest by damaging government property.The protesters incite the police to resort to firing to quell the crowd, and then on the negotiating table they bargain for compensation for the injured or the deceased.If the ruling government is strict with them the opposition jumps in the fray trying to get some political mileage, by inciting the protesters.The Junta does not see through their intentions and unnecessarily lays down its life.Who is going to compensate for the students who could not appear in their final year exams and thus have lost on the other students who finished their exams on time and got their jobs.who will pay for the mental torture of those students who are waiting unendingly for the exams to be announced, so they can appear and go home in relief. Will Mr. Kirori Mal Bainsla compensate them or the Rajasthan govt.?Even if the reservation quota is given to them , how is it going to benefit the general category students who have undergone the trauma of uncertainty in their future?It is not only this year , last year too exactly when the university exams were about to start, the same reservation protest started to utter disgust of regular students.Can we not change this way of protest?Can we not segregate the education system under essential services ,like the health services,and see to it that itr is not affected by such pritests?All the politicians take the excuse of uplifting the state when they resort to such senseless protests. Do they ever realise that a state with a fractured education system can never progress . It will only harbour uneducated selfish politicians while all the brains will drift away to states who have education systems untouched by political protests.Why can't all our respected makers of country's laws(politicians) sit down together ,forgetting their selfish lust for power, and think of how India can be made to look at par with our international counterparts?Why do politicians in their ultimate in psycophancy promulgate lawsw( reservation)hich does no good to the general public but only raises their own psycophancy meter?I sometimes wish that democracy for once would function in its true sense and we would proudly say we are better than USA?When some politicians resort to some senseless misuse of public property( erecting self statues, celebrating lavish birthdays, installing unnecessary statues etc,) I sometimes wonder can't the highest office in the country ,the president , intervene and make them see sense?Iwish and I wish and I wish.Have the politicians ever wondered why we do not have any recent great men to erect a statue of, why only Gandhiji, sardar ballabh bhai, Nehru etc.?They have left us years ago. Why can't we become one Vivekanand,Gandhiji orBhagat singh?
