Its been waiting to happen,But no one seriously expected it to take place,The news about the Bharat bandh was on for close to a week or so,right before the exams started,But most of the students didn't pay any heed to it,Except a small minority,Who were beating against all odds for the bandh to take place today..
BHARATH BANDH:
A minute fraction of the close to 300 odd Institutes,remained shut in the City today and GITAM UNIVERSITY,HYDERABAD CAMPUS ,Was one such institute.
It didn't have to do with the Bharat bandh,as most of the other institutes were functioning as usual,But why then did the management had to call of the Chemistry Exam today ?
The cause lies,with the core of this campus being associated with GITAM UNIVERSITY Vishakhapatnam.
As its common knowledge,that GITAM UNIVERSITY pledges its allegiances to the TDP(Telugu Desam Party),And its top brass ala,M.V.V.S Murthy was an ex Mp and he recently contested(and was Defeated) the polls on a TDP ticket,so the managements' association with the TDP goes beyond the funds pumped into this institute and the political clout this institute enjoys due to its association with the TDP ,makes it feel the ire of TDP's political opponents,Another case of education being inseparable from politics.
The TDP was hand in gloves with the CPI,CPI(M) parties in the state,and Hence had to oblige and participate in the Bharat Bandh called by the left parties,and 13 other(I think),non-congress,non-BJP parties in response to corruption,price rise etc .
BACK HOME:
It was apparently Sampath Sir who did the honours,and informed the students about the holiday,the official reason hasn't been declared,But we do know that the exam in the GITAM UNIVERSIRTY Hyderabad campus was called off due to the band,and plenty are not pleased at it,they wanted to be done once and for all with all these dumb exams..
Had it been announced the previous day or at least early in the morning,it would have been different,But the news reached the students(and consequently this Blog),when most of the buses(3 to be specific) crossed BHEL,and another bus the ECIL was outside BHEL.
But,this holiday surely didn't come in handy most of them couldn't and wouldn't have made any productive use out of this holiday...Well have to face the wrath of the price rise and corruption at the end of the day...
