What will you gain from this?

An appeal by Shilpa Chaudhary, a member of the US Army, to Indians is going viral on social media. Regarding the protests in India, Shilpa said, "There are protests happening in many places in India. I understand that you are deeply hurt by religious sentiments right now. I won't comment on that.

But I have a question for you. I just want to know what benefit you will get from the protests where you live, which are causing unrest in your area. What are you demanding of your state government? What will they do? How were they involved in this?"
