Known all over the world as the 'general strike' a weapon against the ultimate expression of protest against government policies the "bandh" has now become a day to day Indian phenomenon. This bandhs are called by the parties with the help of " Aam Janta" to fullfill their own demands. Due to this bandh , public suffers a lot, companies suffers heavy loses , shopkeepers face trouble. in short "you are doing it for public and public suffers a lot just because of your step". There is a loss of India's revenue, mental disturbance of public by means of vigilant mobs, stone throwing and other violent methods that are used . Life of common people is paralized. Students suffers badly due to closure of schools and colleges as the syllabus cannot be completed on time. Frequent bandhs hampers the common life of the people..
Recently the BJP and left parties called bandh to enforce the nation-wide protest against the full price hike, though the government has firmly ruled out any roll back and slammed the strike unjustified. What was the result of haulting the country's life for one day? stray incidents of violence and road blockades were reported on the strike day. Loss of crores of money was the ultimate outcome of the protest.
The question arises that is these bandhs able to bring any solution to the exisisting problem? The answer to this question is lost in the noise of mob. But nobody can deny the fact that these bandhs generate several new problems. Bandhs are called by the people and later its harsh impacts are faced by the same people..
The concepts of bandhs need a makeover, for the development of the country. the peaceful paths of Mahatma Gandhi like Satyagrah to express protest are better idea rather than calling strike and stoping breath of country.
