SOME THOUGHTS IN JULY, 2021

Our views need to be honest; not necessarily have to be popular. The Cuckoo, I thought, sang sweet because it loved and wished well of the world it lived in. Since persons of eighteen years of age and above have been vaccinated by now in good number, it is not in anyone's interest that they should continue to sit at home away from colleges. Colleges must open now and admit those who have had their two jabs. India's students have remained away from schools and colleges for far too long a period and must return to their respective schools and colleges as soon as possible. A Bandh call is an appeal, Bandh can’t be enforced. A person not subscribing to the cause of the Bandh may as well go his way. He cannot be coerced to compliance.Application of force to make him Bandh compliant amounts to coercion and law of the land must ensure that he is freed from the captors. ^^^^^^^^^
