Question

Is protesting a justified behaviour to break the law?

Answer 1

The answer to this question maybe subjective. According to me, protesting is not a justified behaviour to break the law. Laws of any nation exist due to certain reasons, and these remain despite any situation. Further, what is right varies from person to person. Thus, what may seem like an absolutely right demand from the protesters may not be so in the view of the State and the Government for the public. Though I do not believe that one should silently accept everything without any questioning I feel that what one should do is to find ways to protest within the acceptable legal arena and act accordingly.

Answer 2

Here, I am not justifying that protesting is good for a constitution, but protesting is the only option left when the ideas and hard works of a citizen left unrecognised by the government.

Not every laws and welfare measures will do good to every people in a country, but the ruling person can do by making changes in it. It is the duty of every citizen, to raise a question to their government and get perfect justice from the ruler. After a lot of legal tries, Protesting is the righteous action to undertake when the government kept refusing the requests and questions of the people.

Once Martin Luther King said, "Riot is the language of Unheard" so, in my view, protesting is a necessary action for people to maintain equality in every aspect that too, in a secular country like India.
