Hunger Strikes
It takes a brave person to undertake a true hunger strike. A hunger strike that is not intended to be carried out sincerely is nothing but a bluff, an empty gesture.
The true hunger striker must have strong convictions and iron willpower. When the physical weakness sets in it would be the easiest thing to give in to mental weakness and question whether the cause is worth your life. Unlike self-immolation, a hunger strike is long and painful giving ample time for the seeds of doubt to flourish and to turn yourself against your own beliefs.
One must laud all the brave and noble people who have given their lives towards a greater cause, for the greater good. Yes, one must laud them for their courage and then gently indicate to their friends and family that their lives were wasted for nothing.
For you see with modern science, one need no longer throw away a perfectly good life protesting a worthless and/or mediocre cause. One of the great inventions of the mechanical age (thats after star tv came to india) is the Chain Hunger Strike. Well its not truly correct to assume that this wonderfully sophisticated technology was invented only recently or even to say it is an Indian invention. However since I can't be bothered to google up research material we will have no choice but to accept it as God's own truth.
Back to the point, the Chain Hunger Strike is a marvel of technology that allows a Hunger Strike to proceed with minimal casualty and discomfort to noble protesters (or the conscience of the protestee). It operates on an elegantly simple concept similar to the ford factory line. People take turns striking in hunger. Nothing too strenous, a couple of hours and you can take a break. Brilliant, I say. With a heavy meal prior to his shift and a well deserved snack subsequently, a protester will sleep well that night with a full stomach and deep sense of pride. No longer will a hunger strike be hindered by the death of the striker, in our brave new world the chain hunger strike can last perpetually with no loss of life. That will really bring the authorities to their knees. Way to go team brown, east to west India is the best.
However it is only fair to say that the best protesting technology ever made ever is the Union Rat
