    According to a Chinese news source there is a GINORMOUS strike going on in India (a nation already of strong Marxist presence). According to the news I read there are 40 MILLION people participating in it nationwide! They are protesting against India's privatization policies. Many government agencies got shut down as the result of the protest.
    Just did a search online in English and couldnt manage to find anything that confirms it.

    But just wanted to tell u guys cause the number is so huge!

    On a somewhat related note, does anyone have further information on the 12 protestors that were shot dead in northern India a few days ago?
