Tips for your answer

• Balance is the key. Show that protests and hunger strikes are both democratic safeguards and constitutional responsibilities, requiring a balance between dissent and public order.
• Remember value addition like Article 19, India Against Corruption Movement, Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, Gandhian Satyagraha, Ladakh protests, and Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike.
• Avoid portraying protests as either absolutely justified or entirely disruptive. Evaluate them through the lens of constitutional democracy, democratic accountability and institutional governance.
