Stop this mindlessness

This is not done. This is no way to manage issues. Entire country is angry at repeated crimes specially crimes against women. But the way such crucial issue is handled by both government and the people is not proper at all. Violence is absurd. Those who are protesting must make sure that their protest should be peaceful, methodical and should be well directed towards constructive solution. And at the same time government should be proactive and sensitive in handling such situations. They should have immediately addressed to people's sentiments in appropriate manner. The use of excessive force against people demonstrating for a cause is poor handling.

Government must understand that police can not handle emotions. The rising anger and frustration among people is very dangerous for the country. This is damaging. We are one country and a democratic one. Why it should reach a situation where people need to come out on streets for every issue. This is people's government and it must listen to people of the country. There are many serious issues which our country is facing. People's participation is must if we want effective solutions and good administration. But unfortunately there is a big gap between people and government. There must a working system to address public concern so that for every issue people need not come to streets. This is where we need Federations selected by entire population who are from respective fields and carry people's concern to the government and get the job done.

For example in this case we should have had a Federation for Women. Prominent women who have worked for years for women's cause could be elected through online polling in which entire country participates. Their work should be published online so that people can select. Such federation would remain in touch with people of the country and would work towards betterment of women. They will gather suggestions from people and based on that they will coordinate with government to find effective and constructive solutions for the problems related to Women's Welfare in a time bound manner. This and other such Federations as given in Swaraj Model here can become effective people's voice as they will act on people's suggestions through online referendum.

One appeal to the country. Do not get into chaos and anarchy. We can solve problems in a sensible and peaceful manner. It is good to raise voice but do it in a methodical, peaceful, united and well directed manner. We should remain focused towards betterment of country. Heated discussions and directionless demonstrations will not serve the purpose. So get united and act meaningfully.
