Suppose you want to present the demands of the people of your area to the MLA of your area. State which methods followed by the Early Nationalists you would choose and why?
Answer
The methods I would choose to present the demands of the people to the MLA would be:
- I would sent a letter containing the demands of the people along with the reason for each demand clearly explaining the problems faced by the people currently.
- I would request the MLA to visit my area, see the problems himself and interact with a few people to get a firsthand experience of the issues.
- After that, I would arrange for a meeting between the MLA and a select few people of the area at his/her office or residence to further persuade him/her to look into the demands.
I would choose these methods because in a democracy we resolve issues through dialogue within the constitutional framework following legitimate means.
