[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1576498781006","data":"Time and again, history has shown that students are among the biggest change-makers whether it is by innovating something or it is by questioning something and demanding for a better one. Be it the Quit India, Civil Disobedience, Dandi Salt Protest or more recently, the Telangana movement or the Jallikattu movement. Students have been the frontrunners of any massive movement demanding a change and that makes them potential power-houses of change for the good of the entire country\/world.<\/p>Why am I talking about students' protests? <\/p>Unless you're living under a rock and have no access to social media of any sorts, chances are high that you would have seen and read about the student-led protests going on about the Citizenship Amendment Act, especially in Jamia Milia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University. Thousands of students are protesting the act and there have been alleged instances of students setting buses on fire and more damage to public property, with the police there responding in a violent manner to control it. While I don't want to go into the details or take a stance on the politics involved, I do want to comment on the way students are protesting there and how it can and should be done. <\/p>If you look at the 2017 Jallikattu protests in Chennai, one thing that stands out is the way students protested. It was an entirely peaceful protest done in a democratic manner. They did not resort to acts of violence and acts that can be put under the term 'rioting'. Another example that comes to mind is how the Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg has been raising her voice and campaigning on climate change. The Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai also raised her voice and campaigned in a non-violent manner.<\/p>This is what I want to convey to students. While students are a major force to initiate and lead any change, it is important for students to understand that it can be done in the right manner, without causing any damage to anyone or any property. Here, it is also important to understand that acts of violence and rioting only result in negative consequences for the students themselves as they can be injured, arrested, jailed, or even worse. <\/p>While I was reading about the CAA protests, I came across a video of a police officer in Aligarh who urged the students to protest in a peaceful manner and in fact, he even assured them that he will be with them in the protest if it is done in a peaceful, democratic manner.<\/p>As students, please understand your own potential to cause a change and understand the right way of doing it. You can also write your opinions on stuMagz and let them be known.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1576498781007","data":"Picture for representational purpose only. <\/i><\/p>"}]
