Students protesting

Amidst the recent protest movement in several countries like Nepal, Indonesia and Bangladesh, and more recently in India and France, regarding various issues which the students allegedly face, what do you all think about the protest movements, do they seem stupid, politically motivated, financially motivated or the right thing to do, Let's see what the general opinion is.

People have the right to protest, no matter how old they are. Of course the approach to protest varies based on the age range, the goal, the general situation, etc.; however, complaints shouldn't remain unspoken. It would bring unwanted outcome for both citizens and the government.

P.S. I have more to tell (about the governments who do not understand this right of people) but maybe later!!!

Agreed, but are they free to tell their demands freely, and are their demands valid and reasonable?

As I haven't followed their reasons and the situations in the countries you named above, I cannot tell if their reason is reasonable or not. Hiwever, I can say that if they didnt have a good reason to protest, so many people wouldn't come together and persue the same goal. (Even if there is a political reason behid the protest, there for sure had been something to complain about!)

About their freedom to protest, I'd say it depends on the country. If the government doesnt uphold democracy, or just pretend to follow it, it would be SO hard for people to act for their right.

Maybe, but should there be no restrictions, because lately we say even 12-year-olds protesting, that's political manipulation. There is no way young children can understand politically set ideals and narratives at that point. Besides we did see some of these protests get unruly as well, what should be the penalty and who is responsible for the damage?

Well, as I told before, I do not what the situations and reasons for the proteat exactly are. But I can say unfortunately, I have seen this kind of manipulation and "abusing" young ones and I totally agree with you on this.

In France, they sound a lot like an excuse not to go to study or to get back phones at school, but they highligh real problems like the time spent studying, the educational environment, the lack of budget in education and research, the school programs and the education system as a whole.

It's a shame though that those legitimate questions are overshadowed by highschoolers who say they cannot sleep in class, some who complains about conditions, yet do not look sincere in their reasons (political highjacking) and "political opponents" who take this opportunity to blow their own horn.

This essentially ends up being the usual spectacle of clowns in which one side is "we are poor X (here students), we are only weak and innocents, do you condemn beating victims and innocents?" and the other side being "you are lazy, you are not ready for Y (here work life), do you condemn beating cops, people and vandalizing public property?". It ends up in "Do you condem?" - "Do you condemn?" - "Do you condemn??" - "But are you sure... DO YOU CONDEMN ???"

This fundamentally displace what the debate should be toward an usual moral shit-show that benefits nobody except the ones holding power.

And I feel the same is happening in India.
