Abstract
Protests play a vital role in the most of the countries that now exist in liberal democracies. Direct action, mostly nonviolent, has been instrumental in forcing the introduction of ending of slavery, extending rights to women and minorities, and even freedom of countries. But this fact can not be ignored that in a complete democratic country like India, protest is allowed so long as it does not have much impact due to rising corruption and inefficiency of ruling government. When protest develops in a way that threatens powerful and dominant interest groups, police or military force is brought to bear against it.
This article reviews the anger of protesters that starts with the agitation of the movement but ends with the appearance of malefaction. Political parties instigating and leading violence between two groups of people is a frequent occasion. As Mahatma Gandhi held that- “Democracy is the art and science of mobilizing the entire physical, economic and spiritual resources of various sections of the people in the service of common good of all.” In a democratic country like India, it is the person‘s democratic right to protest but protesting with peaceful means is extremely opposite to the rioting with violence. Today, despite of the large support of common man and noble cause, many campaigns get fail or are suppressed due to the use of violence and impatience.
