World can be made better and stronger through dissent.

Voice of dissent, rebellious spirit have never been more impotant than in this decade. In this decade contries have usurped the land of neighbouring countries through violence, countries have invaded other countries violating all the international laws. Countries have continued their forceful occupation of another country without popular mandate. Countries have imposed inhuman blockades and embargos literally straving the people to death. Countries continue to maintain prisons and detain people without even giving them an oppurtunity to appeal. In this age of chaos, protests,voices of dissent, oppositions and rebellions have kept the world afloat.

Rebellions or popular uprising have played a very significant role althrough the world history. It has resulted in shaping a better and stronger world. The rebellion of Fidel Castro against the American puppet Batista govt lead to a formation of Republic of Cuba which has been a role model of internationalism since 1960s. Mangal Pandey's voice of dissent, his refusal to take up arms smeared with pig fat resulted in the 1857 first war of independence which inturn provided the necessary impetus for a largerIndian freedom struggle, Ayatollah Khomeini's 1979's revolution in Iran was a result of his rebellion against American friendly Shah regime. In recent times the value of rebllion was very well demonstrated in Pakistan. President Zardari came to power after deposing dictator Mushraff. Zardari embarked on a journey to become an autocrat himself. He refused to reinstate Justice Chaudhary as Chief Justice of Pakistan. He probhibited his rival sharif brothers from contesting polls. Governor's rule was imposed in PML(N) led Punjab province. People protested against these verdicts, civil servents resigned from their jobs refusing to arrest protestors. Pakistan virtually came to a standstill. Zardari had to relent. May be in future the solution for Middle East problem also lies in a unified rebellion of all Arab states against unjust coalition of America and Israel. This is the massive power of voicing our dissent, opposition to unjust powers.

Now the question arises whom should we rebel against? according to Noam Chomsky one of the greatest intellectuals of our time, rebellion should be against unjust powers. To quote him "no power is acceptable until it is justified." Rebellions should be always based on rational investigation and moral judgement. He declares that "there is nothing nobler to do than to resist authority."

But as soon as the there is a process of judgement we are entering murky waters. In this age, ability to investigate rationally and to judge morally have been severely blunted by propaganda missionaries especially media. Dictators and politicians have come up with new devices and means to control the general opinion and attitude thus curbing any chances of a rebellion. Chomsky calls it " Manufacturing Consent." Engineering of consent has become the very essence of political process. The entire population has been turned into mindless masses. Politicians have began playing community, class, religion, caste cards thus bluffing people. They are using the media for fabricating the truth and misrepresentation. They dont want any rebellion to happen. They dont want people to wake up and ask questions. They Want the people to conform to their views.

So the youth should equip themselves with right knowledge so as to judge correctly. They should unite to raise voice against unjust powers. Youth should elect right candiates. Youth should look into the future as visionaries of utopian world which is free from abuse and control.
To conclude - protest has to be allowed in society, as we live in a world that is constantly changing, and it is by protest that the laws are changed for the betterment of future generations. As Chomsky says "Rebellion, Being dissidents is the only way to escape from containment and to preserve ideals of justice and freedom that come easily to the lips but are harder to defend and advance." Being a rebel is the only way forward and it is the only hope.
