Bowing down to Gujjar’s Demand…. Are we setting a wrong example

The recent Gujjar agitation and Ghorkaland agitation are few examples of how certain groups have adopted a skill of getting their things done by blackmailing Government.

The Gujjar agitation is an eye opener for the government. It is not very important to discuss whether the Gujjar demand is justified because I am not very well versed with their position in the society and the injustice done to them, if any. But it is more important to discuss how Gujjars organized their protest and made life miserable for many others. Blocking railways tracks and roads and causing inconvenience too many others are certainly not called for. The protests not only affected several millions citizens of India but also Gujjars. The 18 people were killed in police firing during the protests.There are many other means to show your protest but certainly not by what Gujjars did.

Imagine if all the communities gets organized and starts protesting like this for SC/OBC status. Government cannot yield to their pressure and if they yield, then there is no meaning of quota or reservation system as most of the people will fall under this category.

If the government bows downs to such type of pressure tactics and grant the demands of the agitators, like it did in Gujjar case, the government is sending a wrong message to other communities. Everyone will understand that their demand will be met if they agitate in similar way as Gujjars did. We have already seen the similar agitation for Ghorkaland, by blocking roads and calling for Bundh.

The certain reasons for these agitations are the non fulfillment of promises made by certain political parties. The parties promise many things during election, which they very well know they cannot fulfill. These promises then get converted to desire and slowly to rights. This will further develop certain leaders who try to take advantage of the situation for their own progress and provoke people to protest. The parties then gets caught in their own net and grant the demands of agitators and thus starting chain of such demands from other communities or groups

It is high time that some full stop be put on such agitation and demand should be granted only if it is justified and only after the talks are held across the table. Any groups taking law in to hand and disturbing several other people for their own benefits should be severely punished. But we all know such things cannot happen in India because there are various interests who want to capitalize the situation for their own good. The ultimate sufferer is off course the common man.
