The troublesome process of contesting power (re)distribution. Although better timetabled these days, the hartal, or strike, causes problems for the public, which in addition to their existing problems is not the politics of mercy.
By mixing metaphors we avoid depoliticizing strikes, their need, and their impacts on people, power structures and pauperisation.
Political load-shedding is a non-solution to the problem of sustainable and just power generation and distribution.
So if you think that you, or your tribe, have what it takes to lead the people. Find another way. Don't (mis)lead dedicated young people to their martyrdom, bring sakina, or tranquility, to the streets and lives of the people.
As The Tailor once said, the prison has escape encoded in its very bars.
