I'm in india at the moment! Left Europe for the first time in my life to visit a friend's wedding. Sadly I can't say I've heard much about this, and I have been talking with a lot of people, travelling about and reading newspapers. Was it some weeks ago or?

One week ago. I think. If you happen to be in a Metro city they were mostly unaffected. Most of the time, these anti government strikes have visible shutdowns in Southern States and other Coastal states. In the North Indian belt the the current ruling party is more prominent. In those states strikes at this level, I have seen only after the Government implemented a change in military intakes and benefits.
