I guess here there is scope for improvement here. The youth that is affected by this doesn't vote, for the most part. That the previous generation barely does is a different matter, but the strata of society we are addressing here has zero voting clout, and this the politicians know. Some do vote, but overall the apathy is there for everyone to see. This is good because it wakes up young folks to the reality that voting matters, and if all the students come together on issues (not just this one), those in power will have no choice but to notice. hey G,

There is a protest rally being held every Sunday till this is reversed and legal action has been initiated. We are also in talks with the authorities to see how we can figure out what their issues are. The online petition is because its easiest to get something like this signed and valid to use in a legal scenario. @spoOnman – I’m sorry if it seemed that all we were doing was the online petition, but if you look around, we did something about and are doing something about it.

If you really feel for the cause, get off your ass and do something legal about it. They can't do this in a democracy ... They can only do it in country that is full of decadence and reaction, full of obscurantism, willful ignorance, and self-centered delusions. Online Petitions are Armchair activism.
