jatra...a collective action or somerthing dt falls short of it..!

Jatra an event that has been taking place in IRMA since prm1 is now probably struggling for its very survival. people are leaving and dis is causing d people who are staying to rethink why are they staying. so it is now that we have to decide whether individuals are responsible for their own actions and should not be treated like kids and threatened with negative grades or should simple be allowed to leave.
people who are interested shall stay back and give their best. people who want to go and forced not to go; if remain might not give in their best. weapons of the weak might come to play in this regards if people who want to go are made to stay and do not participate.
It is here that me and my friends discussed that people who r leaving is just because IRMA does not give adequate holidays and that is why people want to go home. in this case what is happening in Jatra is just a symptom and not 'the problem'.
so is it the collective action that is falling or it is the superstructure that is making it more powerful?

My take is different here.......it certainly has something to do with insufficient leaves but it is not the only criteria. Even those who stay in campus does not give their 100 percent. It is more of aptitude and nothing else.

Seems like Tanima is missing her home too much.
