That is the greatest tragedy of India. This is the main reason India is destined to be a perpetually poor country not even a middle income country.

Uh, you can say the same about France. French mobs were (and to some degree are even today) seriously destructive.

Having been in the unfortunate situation of coming between protestors and police in 2019 January (railway workers strike) and seeing many protests in India, The French are way too violent at protesting. Indian protests atleast in my state are like melas without any pyromaniacs

I am sorry if the statement comes as rude.

I think you nailed it. I am Czech, our protests are notoriously mild - someone waves a placard saying "Politicians are shit" and ten reporters film him.

French protests feel like trial version of a civil war.
