It won’t take too long for “Gods own country” to be rechristened “Hartal’s own country”. India’s most educated state, which boosts itself of near-complete literacy seems have taken special liking for hartals. 80 hartals in last 6 months in the state underlines the same fact.
But what was most frustrating to see on the hartal called on 20th Aug was how the media helped propagate “negative” news to make hartal a success. Before I tell how media did it, let me tell a small history about kerala hartals.
80 hartals or 8 hartals?
Suggesstion:
All the people participating for Hartals / protests in front of the secratriate should be filled in to a container by the army and dropped off at the Drass border or the LOC to help the Indian Army there. This way at least the country will benefit from all this wasted energies. To top it all this should be done quitely without even speaking to them.
God’s Own Country
