If they are the problem how can they solve it?

"Violence against women is rising. Very few individuals pay income tax. Problems around us are on the increase," writes Biju Dominic. "One continuum is about problems that occur in one's personal space to problems that occur in public places.The other continuum is about problems that happen because of group action." So who is responsible for solving these problems? "The state has a significant role to play in solving problems that occur in public places, and involve a group of people. But when it comes to problems like sexual violence, not filing tax returns, obesity etc that are caused by individual action in a private space, the role of government as a solution provider is very minimal." True. The government cannot, indeed must not, interfere in our personal lives to tell us what to eat or drink and crimes are committed even in countries where the death penalty is the norm. But what if the government itself is the problem? What defence do ordinary people have against their own government? We know that terrorists regularly kill people in Pakistan. Ajit Kumar, our Ambassador to the United Nations said that terrorists are "devouring their own creator". What is impossible to understand is why we still maintain any relations with this rogue state and even allow their actors to earn millions from Bollywood films. Venezuela, a country with the largest oil reserves in the world, cannot feed its people because of its government's failed policies. People get shot if they protest. Open immigration policy, coupled with militant political correctness, has turned parts of Sweden into areas where women do not venture out at night. Tony Blair may feel a little "pain" for lying about WMDs in Iraq but the people of Mosul are paying a heavy price. Cameron did not learn and took out Gaddafi of Libya, resulting in a flood of refugees into Europe. People in UK voted to leave the European Union, known as Brexit, and Cameron had to resign. In India, politicians punish us for 'not paying taxes' by making us stand for hours in queues to get our own money from banks, by demonetising high value notes, but then field criminals, accused of serious crimes, as candidates in the UP assembly elections. A minister in UP, GP Prajapati. is actually hiding from his own security personnel . He is an accused in a gang rape case. We are entitled to ask why we are paying for protection of a criminal when he has his own arrangements for being safe. Instead of banning caste, politicians reinforced division by slicing Hindus into myriad castes, to get votes. First the Patels of Gujarat agitated for reservation in government jobs and now the Jats of Haryana are threatening to bring Delhi to a halt. People have no power, in most cases government is the problem.
