Some thoughts on protests in India
Some thoughts have come to my mind about protests in India:
-
The great folks n students of Delhi (college students, rich farmers, bureaucrats, etc) would stage protests against govt for so many issues like agriculture reforms, citizenship registration reforms, etc. But why is no one protesting against the state govts. or punjab, delhi and probably central govt for the life threatening pollution which is gradually killing folks??? This is biggest direct threat to life in North India.

Muslims across India have protested against the collateral killing of people of Palestine (many of them support Hamas terrorism and many of them are just human shields exploited by Hamas). But not a single indian Muslim has protested against their 75 yrs old brothers in Pakistan for the large scale atrocities against the Hindus, who are following a belief system more than 2000 yrs old and which formed the rich cultural basis of the subcontinent.
These 2 questions bother me a lot. I really face trust issues when it comes to certain sets of people. Any good explanation is highly sought.

If you wanna know about the ideology of these Muslims, read what B R Ambedkar had to say about them.
Here is one such paragraph:
"The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is a brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. There is a fraternity, but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity."
A muslims would always prioritise another Muslim over truth, over humanity, over righteousness, over anything. They don't care about people from other religions, until they convert. For them religion is everything.
And that is also the reason the Indian army doesn't have a Muslim regiment coz when the time will come they will leave Indians and go fight for muslims.
Very simple answers @NeatFrame72

Pollution doesn't have a face to blame, a straight solution. Protest karke kya maangoge? Also, remedial actions like firecracker ban is intolerable than the pollution itself, especially for people who have free time to protest.

Very very simple answer! It's media coverage. Dont wanna get into whataboutery, but rural Odisha's issues seldom see candlelight marches at Indiagate than some horrible rape in Delhi. I myself haven't seen a single Hindu protesting and myself don't care about atrocities against "fellow Hindu brethren" in the deep shit neighbouring failed attempt of the state.
Jaswant Sinha wrote spectacularly, "We (outsiders) unite Muslims under a single banner ourselves. Christians invasions (200yr) are labeled as Portuguese, Dutch, French, English etc but all 800yr of invasions prior as bucketed as Muslim invasions. Not Persian, Arab, Turkish, Afghan, Uzbek, Mongol etc"
If you bucket and stereotype them together, it's natural they would develop that bonhomie.
I liked your POV
Obviously, it is so dumb fall to conspiracies like all global Muslim brotherhood is united for Palestine, whereas they rarely give a fuck! The traffic in Marathahalli, waterlogging in Sarjapur and appraisal in April drives them as they drive you.
Delhi is the capital of India, so protests happening there are kind of expected. Like you if you want to protest anything against the central govt, you would do it in Delhi only.
Now 2 points about these protesters,
1 why do they have to jam the roads or do damage to property and do things that damage the normal lifestyle. Why can't they protest quietly. After all, Gandhiji got us freedom like this only.(/s).
2 why does the govt let them protest and block the roads. There are designated places to protest and raise their issues. But govt allows these people. And media and common people are also to blame who question the govt when they try to move the protesters to a designated place.

Branding entire protesting group in generic way isn't right imo. There are always everywhere people who resort to violence. Most times, they have nothing to do with what is going on, they just want chaos, but we shouldn't let that negate legitimate protests
-
Not sure about this. I have no idea what the truth is, and how it works. I am sure the protestors have their reasons to protest from a specific place. Unless we do truth seeking, we won't know.
Then it is the responsibility of the leader/organisor of such protests to take responsibility and ensure that no unwanted or violent element is part of their protest.
And he/she needs to ensure that it remains a protest which doesn't cause discomfort to other people.
There is never an end to Whataboutery. My 2 cents -
Stop focusing on what someone isn't covering and start focusing on whatever they are indeed covering, does it make sense or not.
If no one talks about pollution and it really is bothering you, then you start talking about it.
The point wasn't what I am doing. The point was about how certain sets of people behave. Observation hai bhai. Isme kyu gyaan ch** rahe ho
@NeatFrame72 Kyuki apke observation mai hi bias h. Agar point nahi karna hai toh seedha bataa do. Nahi karenge reply.

Ummah > everything else.
Legitimate protests "by the people" died when Anna Hazare's movement was crushed by the government using state force. Just a few days ago we heard about the tragic news of a whistleblower being murdered in her home in Karnataka.
These parties made a lot of noise on both of these issues when they were in the opposition. But now that they're in power, they're silently inactive on these issues and try to divert your attention to non-critical sensationalist issues.
And I mean parties on both sides of the political spectrum are silently inactive.
