	Yoga of the Sages:About Bandhas
		Bandh may be defined as a particular action involving pressure or strain on the muscles.
		It is expected in Yoga to retain a firm pose in bandh as it is retained in the asanas.
		In this bandh, it is expected to contract the muscles of the neck and to press the chin firmly on to the depression at the end of the throat (jugular notch).

	Bandh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bandh, originally a Hindi word meaning 'closed', is a form of protest used by political activists in some countries in South Asia like India and Nepal.
		During a Bandh, a large chunk of a community declares a general strike, usually lasting one day.
		A bandh is not the same as a Hartal, which simply means a strike.

	YOGA POINT - Uddiyan Bandha
		This bandh involves movement of the muscles of the stomach and especially the muscles of the diaphragm.
		The bandh involves action of muscles of the stomach and hence it may be performed while being in Standing Pose or Sitting Pose.
		However, while practising this bandh during pranayama, the pose of the bandh is to be taken while being in kumbhaka.

	Viewsunplugged.com \| Reflection: Of Bandhs and Attitudes By Mrinal Bose
		The bandhs had their genesis in the sixties when these were spontaneous and focused on some real and sensitive issue, but from the seventies onwards, these fell in the hands of over-enthusiastic leaders who used it often and blatantly in their own interests.
		Mamata Banerjee and her supporters have a tendency for showdown, but this time the bandh was entirely for the resurrection of a party, which got drubbed down severely in the last election.
		While the bandh politics is not yet obsolete, it's a fact of life that it has lost its cutting edge for the most part, and has become a nuisance to most people.

	The Hindu : Front Page : Bandh total, peaceful in State
		BANGALORE: The Statewide bandh called by pro-Kannada organisations on Wednesday demanding the implementation of the Mahajan Commission report on Belgaum and the border dispute was total in most parts of the State.
		In Bangalore, the bandh was total and, barring a minor incident off Mysore Road in which a policeman was injured, was incident-free.
		Kodagu Superintendent of Police Ramachandra Rao said the bandh was voluntary and no organisation or individual forced traders in the district to close down.

		The decision to call off the bandh was, first of all, an admission that her plans had gone terribly wrong both for her politics and for the Singur issue, on which she had started the fast.
		Her bandh call upset them for two reasons — they knew that the people, who had been lukewarm anyway in their support to her Singur campaign, would be angry at the frequency of shutdowns.
		Instead of the bandh creating anything like a winning situation for her, it was a sure way of losing the game.

	Blogger News Network » Bandh over Belgaum - Shameful capitulation to mischief mongers
		The entire state of Karnataka barring the coastal districts observed a dawn-to-dusk bandh on Wednesday in response to the call given by Kannada organisations over the Belgaum border issue with Maharashtra. Schools, colleges, cinema halls were closed all over the state except in the coastal districts.
		The bandh’s success was also attributed to the precautionary measures taken by the public at large which had the Rajkumar funeral violence fresh in its mind.
		The success of the bandh is a grim reminder to modern India that a motley crowd of ruffians patronised by a few political busybodies in search of a cause, can reduce to naught the spirit of Enterprise and civic progress in Bangalore by calling for a shutdown at free will with no fear of consequences.

		Low attendance on a bandh day does not always mean that the employees support bandh or are enjoying a holiday.

		In Patna, there was no effect of the bandh as almost all shops and business establishments remained open, vehiclesâ”both private and publicâ”plied as usual, schools, colleges, government as well as non-government offices functioned normally.
		Bandh supporters squatted on the railway tracks and demonstrated at Begusarai and Barauni stations in Begusarai district, resulting in detention of Katihar-Patna Janshatabdi Express, Awadh-Assam Express and Vaishali Express trains for a few hours at Begusarai, Teghra and Barauni stations.
		As for the bandh supporters, near-failure of the agitation is bound to give sleepless nights to the sensitive leaders of not only the left parties but also the parties and the MPs, extending their support to the bandh.

	Preksha Yoga For Common Ailments - Mudra and Bandh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the sacred ancient yoga texts it has been mentioned that mudras are more powerful than asanas and pranayama as they are instrumental in awakening the hidden serpent power in human being - the Kundalini shakti.
		Bandhs are another small group of yogic techniques which enable the practitioner to control his organs at his will.
		This exercise may be performed in standing, sitting, or lying position, but the best posture is Siddhasana or Mool bandh asana, because in this posture heel is being pressed into the perineum and thereby automatically it helps in the performance.

		In several district and tehsil centres, after making the bandh a success, large processions of thousands of workers and peasants were organised by the Left and secular parties and trade unions, and spirited public meetings were held to castigate the central and state governments for their imperialist-dictated, anti-people LPG policies.

	Metroblogging Bangalore: Anatomy of a bandh
		If citizens get the courage to keep doing what they usually do on bandh days, over time, this pack of goondas will fade away, but first, we must learn to stand up en-masse...the "svalpa adjust maadi" mentality is generally in the way of Bangalore's citizens asserting themselves.
		As for the spantaneouty of the bandh, I think it was more because people were afraid that we might see a repeat of the incidents that followed Rajkumar's death and not because they were a wee bit interested in Belgaum.
		The sad demise of my 80 year old mother a day before the bandh made it mandatory to cremate her the same day, though the family would have wanted the cremation on 4th Oct so that there is enough time to inform friends and family far and near.
