Bharat Bandh - Nation on strike

Bharat Bandh is organized against the recent fuel hikes. A lot has been written about it in newspapers here and here. Coming to the basics .. if you raise cost of Fuel. Cost of everything else spirals up. Transportation is key in todays industrialized world. If you increase cost of Petrol by 4 rs/Lt think of cost of those apples who travel from Himachal to your doorstep. I think you will need to make yourself comfortable with chickoos .

I see people working at the lowly wages of 100Rs per day How will they survive. The corrupt lanes of Govt will never be able to understand the hardships that common man has to bear.


I do not think Indian Govt or even the whole Indias political system is doing anything right. They wait till the last moment until they can no longer sustain the eyewash policies that bring them to power. Promises that are broken. I remember when opposition came to power . Unfortunately they were so inefficient that people used to say " They take the bribe and still do not get the work done, at least in Congress rule when we give money our work gets done "
I know 100% that opposition can bring this Price rise/Inflation as a good election agenda. But they lack a strong leader who can be a visionary. (Where is Subhash Chandra Bose or Vallabh Bhai Patel ???? even JP Narayan would do), in short .. i do not see hope for India for at least next 10 years.

Sunday night 10pm: I receive an sms

"From GFM India Pune Capgemini offices will remain closed due to anticipated civil disturbance on 5th of July. Only critical functions will operate on this day"

This message smells of fear against a Hooliganism thats rampant in Indian Politics. "Close your shutters or we will break everything inside them".

Long time ago i heard of Japanese employees protesting by working an extra hour in their factories ... that seems like a distant reality. Instead people talk of enjoying an extended weekend
