27th August, 2008 - Jharkhand Bandh scheduled today

The Jharkhand Disom Party (JDP) is all set to make a debut albeit with a flimsy reason - into the Indian bandh arena. It has called for Jharkhand bandh in protest against the Jharkhand government's decision to appoint 4401 Urdu teachers, including 1074 posts reserved for scheduled tribe candidates knowing Urdu, in the state - sounds crazy??
Now the question JDP is asking is valid. How can the government reserve seats for scheduled tribe candidates knowing Urdu when it had not recruited a single Adivasi teacher ever since a separate Jharkhand state was created.
