What does BUNDH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian English
A general strike or complete shutdown of shops, transport and offices called as a form of protest.
A bundh is organised by a political party, union or community group to force attention onto a grievance, and during a bundh streets normally full of traffic and trade fall quiet by design, not by accident. The spelling bundh sits alongside the more common bandh, both from a Hindi word meaning closed. Reports of a bundh often note how many districts observed it and whether it turned violent.
