What kind of protest is that, and how spilling cattle milk will solve the problem? Just give it to needy people. Ahh, can someone give me a logical view on this method of "protest"?

I think its more symbolic than anything. Cattle milk is very precious to these people and by spilling it they are showing their anger, frustrations and grief to the political parties and government. When we got angry as kids, we used to throw our toys outside windows to show it to our parents that we were upset about something.

That's where the problem lies. We still behave like child. I am still not convinced if that was an effective protest. It?s like digging your own grave. And whom is it affecting? I don't think there will be any shortage of milk to those Thug Netas anyway. What they should do is organize counter protest rallies right when these Thugs organize theirs. I know it?s easy for me to say here. I just don't like showing anger to food and public property.

Just think of it as they are pouring over Pashupati's Shiva Linga. These people are praying for things to get back to normal. People pours hunderds of gallons of milk at Pashupati everyday as offering. This is also their offering but in a different circumstances. I am not saying its right, but hey, I don't live in Nepal and I don't kow how it feels when hope seems to reach infinity. I don't know how someone can act rationally during these times.

Right Bedrock, the overturned milk can is a symbolic lingam, and the offerings to arouse Pasupatinath to protect his pashus, which may either starve to death or get smuggled to Bangladesh if their precious milk fails to find the right market.
6-strings, it is better to spill own pain and labor than to recklessly destroy public and private properties and causing discomfort to general masses (I hope here in the picture the protestors did not resort to chakkajam and mob violence).
Regarding the wastage, the milk will help clean the road of its pollution while at the same time reclying vital nutrients to millions of small creatures like ants and bugs essential yet ignored part of our biodiversity.
IN ecconomic view, milk as a perishable product would be more costlier to store than to throw away, and as economics principle sometime indicates wastage and discardment is not always loss. Here, as a symbolic gesture, the milk which even in normal conddition would have been milked from two sources one living and another inate (Dhara), must have been bestowed greater mercy by the second one.
Hope, their protest raise atleast few eyebrows and concerned parties think about their plights. If not, atleast they could help generate this thread not a small achievments in itself.

As electricity can't be stored, what will the they do by storing it ^ ^ after all, their daily gaaaaaas fully rely on it's sale. As KK says they have protested in a very descent way without any violence. I would say these milk sellers are, though, not so much educated, however, they have taught a very nice lesson of protesting, "actions speak louder than words" .

KK, well said. Was at your adda for few hours while on the way back to my place. Gud news, tapai ko adda ko consulate rahechha.. aba sajilo hune vayo.. may be in april or June, i will try.

Anyway, be in touch, the protests in this picture as you rightly mentioned is more symbolic, and how can someone who had glimpse of the picture forget the scene of milk being spilled.
Khetan ra Amatya le pane protest garne bha chan re, beer ko kholo bagaune re Narayanghat ma, mauka milyera janu parla jasto cha.

A peaceful protest can also have its impact, albeit we chose violence and destruction.

Minister Chaudhary says milk price hike imminent

Himalayan News Service

Narayangadh, January 28:

The coalition government, which is facing severe criticism for its decision to hike the price of petro-products, has dropped another bombshell. The Assistant Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives, Umakant Chaudhary, today said the government was planning to increase the price of milk as well. ?e are planning to hike milk price, which will be announced within a few months,?he said during Meet the Press programme organised by Nepal Tarun Dal?? Chitwan district committee, affiliated to Nepali Congress (Democratic), in Bharatpur today.

He said the government was concerned over the incidents of farmers throwing away vegetables and spilling milk on roads as their products cannot reach the markets due to bandhs.

He informed that the government was planning to encourage factories which produce milk powder so that wastage of milk can be stopped. He added that incentives to cold stores could help preserve vegetables. Chaudhary said the only factory which produced milk powder was situated in Biratnagar and another one was coming up in Kohalpur, western Nepal. The milk processing centre in Chitwan would become operational soon, he added. Replying to a query, assistant minister Chaudhary, said there was no alternative to elections and consultations with security forces and political parties had begun.
