In an incident of street violence, a lady bit off the ear of a man, the reason being that he was sexually harassing her. On the same day in an incident of peace propagation, a person was beaten up by the Police because his car stopped on the road through which the CM was about to pass. In an act of domestic violence, a daily wage laborer killed his wife and children before setting himself ablaze because he couldn’t earn the money required to feed him money. In an act of peacekeeping, the government delivered a whopping 0% of the money allocated for alleviation of poverty to the famers of the Adilabad district. They died of hunger making sure that family planning departments didn’t have to do much to keep the population under control.
If people die of hunger it is not violence, if people kill for food it is violence. If one politician is killed, it is huge violence, it is assassination. If he takes away the money leaving of crores of people in poverty, it is not violence. Twenty people dying in a bomb blast is violence caused by terrorists. Police who died due to sub-standard bullet proof jackets did not die due to violence caused by the bureaucracy but only by the violence caused by the terrorists. The thousands that die due to lack of access to drinking water is not violence, two terrorists entering the parliament is violence.
You can violate anyone's right to live, it doesnt amount to violence. Just one clause though - make sure the victim is a common man!
