This is sad I can assume lack of resources to sustain the movement may have dipped their morale,however,the Friends should not give in. Let us support by writing and raising their issues on different fora. I'm planning to write an oped on the employment issue for national daily,hope this appears soon. People involved on the ground must write to the local media, and it would be nice if anyone of protesters writes himself/herself in the Hindu which has a huge readership in the state. There are many PhDs among the protesters they must write. I'm sure once a write up appears in the opinion section, things will start falling in lign. Let us use all resources which are available to us. Governments are greatly fearful of blind, because they do not plead but act in style as situation demands.
