Hartal or "Hurt all"

Hartal or "Hurt all" 
 

  Hartals seem to have become the only mode of expressing the public openion of the educated barbarians of today's indi. Let us take a moment to recollect thousands of man days lost, lakhs and crores worth of production forgone, millions irreparable damage caused to public properties in the name of strikes and hertals.The time has come to put and end of these shameful activities which are anti social and anti cultural. Let us uphold our own civil liberties and abhor all those activities which encroach upon our freedom of existence. 

Freedom of movement is fundamentel to democracy.Infringement of this freedom is no doubt,the violation of civil liberties guaranteed in our constitution. In the name of hartals, the freedom of movement of the citizens is curbed.Educational institution, government offices and industrial concerns are forcefully closed down.Public and private conveyance systems are paralysed.The entry life of the society comes to astandstill.is this justified? Does this in any way contribute to the progress of the nation? The answer would be an absolute 'no'. 

In all public strickes and hertals, a small number of anti social elements and hooligans take control of the panic situation, engage themselves in looting and daylight robbery and couse extencive damage to public property. 

These hertals have degenarated into a situation where, the civilised majority is taken in for a ride by the uncivilised minority. These activities are of course, a crime against humanity, and most of all, we canot afford to enjoy the luxury of strickes and hertals in this present stage of economic development.
