As i couldn't go through this entire thread all these day s with the busy work and side support to the protest in chennai .. Well it started like this people in thammukam and allanganallur started to prepare for jallikattu the state government sent the police force to crack down on them and few Meme creators who went to support the protesters in madurai and other districts started to share the feedback and requested people in chennai to support the protesters by assembling in chennai marina .
Day 1 went with only around 30-40 people and few passing crowd even making comments saying jobless loafers wasting their time .
Day 2 with the support of instagram facebook and whats app people started moving towards the marina and realized its time to put their foot down and raise their inner voice .
Day 3 The usual IT corporate employees who run to work to serve their clients realized why dont we even give a day to support our own farmers and the people fighting for jallikattuban, The students of most colleges even after warnings from the management started gathering and showed the support in their college premises (Best part in this was one women's college which known as only elite rich kids place turned into fortress for the student protest movement ) The minute people started seeing women such level stepping into the streets expressing their support the elders and the family people also jumped into the protest .
Day 4 With schools and colleges shut down the marina beach becomes Tahirir Square of india in 2017 the symbolic Mobile phone flash light moment every evening was to remind on day 2 the state government cut the power in marina area and people started using their own mobile flash lights for the protest .
This movement was spearheaded by students and the youth the working class youth who always was feared of loosing a days salary if they don t to turn upto work and what will happen to their future.The youth felt if they don't stand up now there wont be any future for them and their identity crisis was stoked by few hardliners also who used the Us vs Them theme stealthily..
Now we didn't broken or smashed or burned or even blocked anyone or troubled anyone . Its the politicians who jumped into Rail Roko and called for state wide protest and stop the trains .
It was a peaceful protest but it was not a silent protest people expressed what ever they feel their inner pent up frustration or view and they ignored the politicians and political parties and not taken their support when the movement gained national wide attention thanks to MSM who always wanted to fish in troubled waters for their TRP s
People came on their own and stayed on their own no one funded them .. Its not such an easy task to sit in a scorching chennai heat in the day and face the cold beach winds in the night in open no shelters people slept in the footpaths and people who didn't went home for 3 days sitting their it needs some will power without a leader who is going to take it forward the people realized its time everyone has to take the issues as their own and move forward .
One thing to note in this protest is , that no political party has been accepted to fight with the youth, and no leader as such to carry out the protest... It is just mass protest with each and every ones support...
Utilising this some people trying to put their ideology like Prabhakaran photo etc...
And media as such for their trp they focus on this....
This gives only bad remarks for whom so ever see this whole scenario without much knowledge of ground reality.....
