5th August, 2008: Literate state, literate bandhs

What do you do when a state is cent per cent literate? Yes, conduct education bandh because this is the only bandh that gels with the state of education that Kerala has. The more educated you are the more innovative you become – but only in destructive sphere. Today, functioning of educational institutions in Kerala was hit following the 'education bandh' called by pro-congress Kerala Student's Union (KSU) against the "wrong" educational policies of the LDF government and demanding withdrawal of the 'controversial' seventh standard social science textbook. All government run and aided education institutions and schools run by various private managements reamined closed following the bandh call. Now one wonders if the school students will be able to complete their curriculum because of these literate bandhs.
