Bharat Bandh

Bharat Bandh refers to a nationwide strike or shutdown in India, during which various groups, such as political parties, trade unions, or farmers' organizations, call for a halt to normal activities. This could involve closing shops, stopping transportation, and protesting against government policies. The objective is to draw attention to specific issues, such as agricultural laws, labor rights, or economic concerns. Participants typically aim to pressure the government to address their demands. Bharat Bandh events highlight social and economic grievances and reflect the democratic right to protest and seek change.
