Can someone give me an explanation?

Indians are of complaining nature.. and we complain for anything and everything. We try to find faults in what not?.. Whatever the measures taken by our government..we feel dissatisfied. But there is a bunch of Indians at st.joseph's who differ from the whole lot. They keep mum for a lot of things which affect them. This same bunch of Indians inspired by films made by Shankar and Mani would go on debating on the corrupted politicians and officials in India.. They want some Robin-hoods to be born to save them. This same bunch would urge their fellow citizens to actively take part in the democracy by sending e-mails and SMSes. But this same bunch of Indians have failed to check the wrong doings at their own door steps. You might now start wondering what the wrong doings are and what the hell is being said here...I'll come to this question a little later.. Now let us look at things which are very familiar to us but never aroused us to question about them

..................................................... We all know that the hostelites pay twenty five thousand rupees in addition to the prescribed fees each year.. This twenty five thousand rupees painted in black is accumulated in the backyard of you know who.. When I asked this question to an hostelite he said that this money is adjusted as tuition fees for the sports quota students who are admitted free of cost. So.. that's how black turns white. But why should the hostelites pay for someone else...?
Also one wonders.. what happens to the the book fees we pay each semester. We pay Rs.3500 inclusive of the exam fees(900 rupees). So the 2600 rupees is supposed to be the book fees. But if one goes by market values.. the books would cost only in the range of 1000-1500 rupees. One at least expects to keep those books with himself/herself... but you aren't allowed to take away those books as the book bank scheme is in practise. This scheme of things cannot be understood by itself nor can be explained by the so called progress of mind.
But what surprises me is that no one seems to bother about these... We take all these for granted as we take the Solar system for granted.. So... please start complaining and don't shy away from things.. these things affects you..

I'm known to be a rebel and have been in the forefront of many revolts in class.
but
What do u want me to do,complain about this to the government & get the license of our college cancelled?
Let's not do it atleast untill we graduate.

If showing adamancy can be termed as revolts.. then you're a rebel!... Why should one complain to the government... we can show our objections to the management itself... Even if you complain to the government.. the license cancellation will(if at all) be applied for the forthcoming set of students and no one else gets affected.

Go against the system..even if u don get to beat it..u have a point there..but i feel, ppl are so used to the "barbarianism" of the management that they just let go, savin their skin....What you're saying will be nice, if put into practise, outside St.Josephs...It will work anywhere but here..coz thtz how it is.. we Pay from all v have, to survive in a system which breathes asking "u-knw-whos" permission...I understood that quite late..so given the practicality of the situation, neither revolt nor complaints will work here...And..P.S : Rs.5000 this time, coz we got a photo laminated n framed, with a gross bg, thinkin they were doin us a favour,n considerin it more like a "farewell" gift...Lil did we knw, it cost 1500!! :O :O :O Damn them all..tht says it all !!!
