Clever Protests Around the World (Better than Bharat Bandh)


Well, today that is 31st March, is declared by opposition party as Bharat Bandh or All India Strike. These political one-day drama is set to protest petrol price rise but how effective is this strike? This political one-day drama will end in the eveing and nothing will happen. But, we researched some clever protests around the world that shook the management/government badly and it changed the scenario around.

1.Single shoe manufacturing in China


In China, the labourers were fighting for their benefit income and decided to go for a strike. But, their protests went unheard and they could not make its maximum use. But, again on the other day, they decided to join the work but protest by manufacturing only single shoe per pair. This movement shook the management with loss of millions of dollars and labourers won the fight.

2. Farmers protest by growing


Well, the work of a farmer is to grow and they protested by growing!  Farmers in USA protested by planting various farm products on the field and did'nt harvest any plant. These incurred a loss of thousands of crores of dollars to the company. The vegetables/fruits got rotten on the field itself incurring huge losses.

3. By Non-violence


How can we forget the biggest ever protest done that freed India from the cluthes of Britishers. Mahatma Gandhi's unique non-violence protests over the years led to freedom of the country. These protests were so silent that Britishers had no weapon to use and they moved out of India.

Do you know any such weird protests around the world? Share it in comments
