25th April Community fast- The strength of unity

What we are seeing today is the slow degradation of our society. Every now and then, we find petty acts of crime around us. The ease with which these criminals execute their plan points to the fact that the general populace is helpless. It appears as though for us, the respectable citizens, everything comes as a surprise. We do raise our eyebrows when something disturbing happens but very soon we forget about it and carry on with our normal life. It encourages anti-social elements that come to believe that committing a crime is a piece of cake and their next act of kidnapping, murder, theft or bribery will be as simple as the previous one.
We suffer but we don't raise our voices. We take the back seat and watch everything happen or give up hope completely and don't bother. This does not mean that we don't want the situation to improve. We sure want a peaceful society but expect that to happen on its own.
Our strength is our determination and our unity. If all of us come together and unite for a common cause, it sends out a clear message that we are awake and active citizens and are ready to rise against injustices done to us. When innocent children are abducted, it creates quite a stir and we all express our condolence towards the family, school and friends but if we unite now, we may prevent such incidences from taking place in the future. Let us show the criminals that we are not indifferent towards our own predicament. We are one and we will remain so till we see a significant positive improvement in our society.

we need to adopt non-violent and constructive means of Potest. In India when peopl have to protest theyresort to all sorts of destruction, chakka-jans, badhs, road blockages etc.. which simply disruts daily life causing huge economic and social loses.
When we students had to protest fo a revamp in Education system, we went the correct way, we went to school on Sunday demanding from the system that Children should'nt be made soft targets of evils in the society
On 25th April, yet again, in the true spirit of brotherhood, and perseverance we are resorting to Community fast to protest the kidnappings of innocent children
