Ah, these candle light protests!

There are innumerable houses in the remote tribal areas of the country which have not yet been electrified. The inhabitants are poor and can ill afford the scarce kerosene oil. And we the city dwellers burn thousands and thousands of candles to show our protest/indignation etc. on various issues (So much for energy conservation!).

Is it possible to think of another way of expressing our emotions and try to divert these candles to the needy tribal areas?
