A nationwide strike against record-high fuel prices in India has seen violence and disruption across the country. Schools and businesses were shut down, transport services were disrupted and vehicles vandalized.
In the capital, New Delhi, petrol prices are up about 14 percent this year. In the financial hub of Mumbai, petrol price has surged to $1.21 (88 rupees) a litre.
Prices vary across Indian states but most cities are reeling from petrol prices as high as over 80 rupees ($1.1).
I would expect you to write an essay on “why strikes and protests don’t work” because you’re one of those homeguard types that call demonstrators “hooligans” and “paid for by foreigners”.
