Public Demonstrations.

PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION.
IT IS A DAILY ROUTINE.

No day passes without a demonstration.
It may be a local union, a student organisation or any group
protesting something.

There is another group opposing the above demonstration
marching with flags, banners and shouting slogans to prove their point.

The public is made to perform the role of spectators. It is a routine.
Life goes on as normal is if such demonstrations were a part of life.

The Government deploys battalions of their police squads who are
present on the scene to watch and see that it does not turn violent.
Generally such demonstrations end peacefully. In rare occasion it
explodes into bloody violence. BSF personnel, armed with machine guns take charge of the situation to control the violence.

Naxalites and Maoists have taken the country to rampage.
Armed forces have to be mobilised from one end to another through out the country.
Damage to the nation property runs into billions.
All this is a costly game.
The Government spends for maintenance of law and order,
beyond their means.

Is progress possible in the above circumstances?

The salaries of armed forces three wings, para-military forces,
Border security forces, salaries A to Z right from the President of India,
Cabinet, parliament, state Governors, Chief Ministers MLAs, Local bodies, municipalities panchayats – in short salaries of staff, Central government staff and state government and semi-local staff constitute half the income of the country.
