An understandable protest

Letter December 13, 2010
With the prices of everything increasing, the last thing ordinary people want is increased education fees.

ALBANY, NY, US: With the prices of everything increasing, the last thing ordinary people want is to have to spend more money in education fees, simply because the government is unable to, or does not want to, reduce its own expenditures, or is insistent on fighting a war that it cannot win. In that context, the protest by students in Punjab is understandable.
