Bandhs are bad
Bandhs are different from strikes. In a strike people stop working. In a bandh other people are prevented from working, travelling, keeping schools, colleges, shops, theatres etc open. Bandhs are successful only if there is violence or fear of violence. Bandhs cannot be tolerated in a democracy. Where bands disrupt normal life it is mobocracy.

If Parliament passes a law that is unjust it does not become right.
In Delhi and many other cities students had opposed reservations. It is likely that in future political parties opposed to reservations will come up.
