Goondas don't get jobs!

The recent trend in employment-politics has completely stumped me!

First of all, if you want to protest about something and you are absolutely sure that you are right, it is possible to protest peacefully as well. Have the MNS and Shiv Sainiks never heard of something called a non-violent protest?

The main difference between a violent and non-violent protest is obvious. But there are some advantages to non-violence that i would like to point out for the benefit of my fellow Indians working in political groups.
In a non-violent protest, there is no damage to property (public or private)... and most importantly, no loss of life. It does not create resentment among any of the parties concerned. Also, it gets you the attention you need, but the focus here is on the cause for protest and not on the protest itself. Only by focusing on the problem, can you find a solution. Blame games will not get you any results. Violent protests only create more problems, instead of solving them.

Normally, if you want to be hired by a company, you have to prove your capabilities to your prospective employers. Vandalising office properties, (literally) beating up the competition and dragging your prospective employers into a controversy is not going to get you a job!
If i were the owner of a company, i would never employ people who have a history of violence. Even if I did hire one of them, what if one day he had an argument about something with the management. He will go straight to his friends in that political party, gather a crowd and storm into my office, destroy my property and basically, ruin my company's reputation! Do i want that? NO! Then why should i hire such people who can go against my company at the drop of a hat?

Behaving like a goonda will not get you a job!!!!
If you want to work with a good organisation, you have to prove yourself... just like everyone else! There are no shortcuts to success, no backdoor entries! The first step to getting a job is to behave like a civilised individual.
