Man, you didn't understand (or I didn't) purpose of the strike. The strike was neither against the neighbouring state nor against the tribunal. It was more to wake up the government and force them to make amends to their earlier mistakes (like not doing much in these 16 years). I think the common people are wise enough not to 'yell' when the matter was subjudice. You dont have to 'close down your own house, break your own property and ask your home-mates not to go outside and don't work' if you have problems with the neighbour, but what if you are angry against the house owner and he is near deaf (or acting like one)? I presume YOU feed the daily wage earner on normal days whenever he fails to earn sufficient money.
P.S: I dont reside in Karnataka and its my GENERAL OPINION about the strikes.
