Strike the Strikes

Well I am convinced that India could be put to halt just by few hundred people without any terror strike, without weapons, without any aggression as we know what so ever. We need to redefine all these as in this age we have new form of aggression. Just a few officers of Oil Companies have gone on strike and the whole country is coming to its knees, literally. There is already an ongoing strike to compound the woes from the truckers.

In this new world the venerability of the countries have come to such small things that terror need not strike the way it did strike recently in Mumbai. Example all they need is bunch of politically activated people in oil companies to come with a strike and the whole country can be halted. This venerability could be virtually exploited my anti nationalists further which I even dread to mention it out here. I was reading a book recently on the first gulf war fought by Americans all they did was cut of the electricity in Iraq. This one event made all the equipments fail in Iraq and hence further exploitation of situation resulted in the most successful, fastest and with the minimum cost of money and live a win over Iraq. Use of Nuclear weapon is fools tool in this world all this world requires to develop a device which makes the entire electrical system to burn and the place could be put centuries behind something like the James bond movie “Golden Eye”. This still might be since fiction but as someone who talked about the flat world said that any Idea you can think of is surely being thought of by someone is being worked upon and will surely come in days to come. Unfortunately as it seems our country does not need to be ready to tackle these situations, we have a far easier thing which does not need scientific innovations like a mere political innovation is enough to put everything on stand still.

As a country we really need to do something almost immediately to ward of these threats. This has to be treated equivalent to terror and not more laws like ESMA could be sufficient and probably the newly formed terror law is more applicable. I also understand that the aggrieved people in these PSU need to have some readdress mechanism to fall back to. It’s my strong feeling that we need to strike the strike before it strikes us.

  4. Do you know the creator of our Constitution, Dr.B.R.Ambedkar, in his speech in the concluding session of the Constituent Assembly suggested to "give up the path of Mahatma Gamndhi", i.e. strikes and civil dis-obedience because now the free India has other constitutional methods of getting justice.
