Let me add that I am not totally against to the basic idea behind Hartal or Bandh. Hartal and Bandh are good tools against Fascist totalitarian rulers. In earlier times we have used that tools effectively. I love the idea to protest. To resist. But I oppose the hidden agenda behind the present day hartal gimmicks performed in India, especially Kerala. If the hartal is called for a real social cause, I speak for the hartal. But most Hartals are called against it. The hartals observing in Kerala today is a perfect farce. Lazy people even celebrate hartal as well as a holiday. While in these Hartal gimmicks, people are denied even their basic freedoms to travel and to work. It is a classic example of fascism. If a hartal is rated as success, people has to accept it and they wilfully reject to go for work. In that sense, no hartals in Kerala wins.
