At present, India is the biggest democracy in the world. In a democratic setup, everyone has the right to articulate their views and vocalize their problems as long as it does not lead to infringement of law. In a number of developed countries including the US and France, an embargo has been put on bandhs or strikes. It is quite regrettable that the political parties in India abuse the democratic rights of the people by calling these bandhs and strikes which often cause a roadblock to the economic development of the nation. People can’t go to work, students are unable to go to school, and exams get postponed. The backbone of the economy is affected badly. Is this the thing we looked for in independent India, certainly not! There is no logic for calling these bandhs and strikes when so much hardship is caused to the common people. It is the common people who bear the brunt of these so-called machinations of public welfare. We should remember that only sensible discussions and talks can bring us to a feasible solution and these talks should serve the interest of the common people.
