“Colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars.”
— Arundhati Roy

Simplified Meaning:
Protests and marches are important because they show many people care about an issue. However, just gathering in the streets isn't enough to solve big problems like stopping wars. Imagine if your neighborhood had a safety issue. Holding signs and shouting together can get attention, but to fix the problem, you would need to talk to the right officials, make plans, and probably take more actions like writing letters or organizing meetings. In the same way, stopping a war requires more serious actions like diplomatic talks, negotiations, and changes in policies. So, while public demonstrations are a good start, they need to be part of a larger effort that involves many different strategies and actions working together.
