What is this?
Left parties invented the mass scale Hartals and Bandhs and all sundry parties in India calls for a strike at the drop of a hat. The Left still maintains that it stands for the right to strike by the working class as a fundamental right. But what about the rights of the man on the street, the person who loses his day’s labour, a corpse reaching the burial place, a pregnant woman who cant reach the hospital, a bridegroom and bride reaching to their marriage pedestal, a patient who dies on the way to the hospital, passenger who cant reach his destination, a student who cant reach his school, an employee who cant reach his office? How will you protect the rights of these large majorities? How can you wage a war against your own people?
A tribute to Bandh
THIS POEM GOT FIRST PRICE IN SINO-INDIAN INTERNATIONAL STRIKE FESTIVAL
When I born, there was strike
When I grow up, strike follows me
When I go to road, strike blocks me
When I scared, strike is the reason
When I travel, strike falls on me
When I sick, strike doesnt allow me to hospital
And when I die, I am still struck up in a strike
And you Leftist fellow
When you born, you were taken care from strike
When you grow up, you go abroad for studies
When you go to road, comrades protect you
When you scared, ideology saves you
When you travel, you know in advance when to avoid
When you sick, hospital comes to you
And when you die, you are given red salute and escorted
And you calling me your supporter? No way
(This is rephrased from a famous poem - you calling me colored?) Do not feel offended.
Are the current crop of hartals - with violence and disruption- the best way of democratic protests?
