Hartal: a destructive play

But, I do believe that this hartal culture is not only a political tendency or an outcome of social distress. Rather, the root of this culture is deeply connected to our Bengali instinct and social culture. From the days of the British reign, this culture was appreciated by the people of the colonised India. People thought that a man could contribute to his country througsh "blood shed". A man can contribute by serving his life to increase the level of his social or economical position -- this kind of social exercise was always ignored.

Government has proposed to make an anti-hartal law. It sounds irrational because a law can never uproot hartal. So, we need the moral correction from the grass root level and effective alternative mediums (such as human chain, hunger strike etc.) to protest.
