Bandh and Kerala

One more day for the keralites to sleep well  at home. Eventhough it is a national bandh, I don't think that the effect in other states won't be as severe as in Kerala. Well, The state  is known as God's own country (even God may not be knowing this) so do 'they' have all the rights to do anything in Kerala? Here I used 'they' for the group who is behind the hartals and bandhs, and I am  not trying to point out any special political party.

Today (April 27,2010) , from morning 6:00 itself they have started their routines by blocking the trains in Trivandrum and Kozhikode railway stations. Years back, court had  banned bandhs. But luckily they had another term called 'Hartal'. Public have been informed that the emergency services will not be disturbed ( a common message in all the hartals).  I pray to see less number of victims of this hartal on the evening news. Still I don't know how these hartals and bandhs will solve this 'price rise' issue.

It is high time to take some steps against these type of hartals. Kerala should look into other states to know more about handling the hartal. A Lot of articles and complaints were raised against hartal in the past years. But no one is looking into it. These political parties may be thinking that they are doing a great job by calling a hartal , or they may be protesting the 'prise rise' issue. But there are a lot of other ways to protest against an issue. Any type of protesting activity which affects the public life should be strongly banned by laws. We keralites are claiming by ourselves as the most educated state in India, But it is not at all visible by our activities. Anyway our news channels are enjoying.

We can only hope for  a 'hartalless' Kerala with lot of industries around.

Wishing all the very best to 'God's own country'.
