testingi have finally begun to actively use the history magazine at fedia.io > the history magazine is a reddit-like community, very much resembling lemmy communities > the history magazine has been dormant for a long time and was basically used as a scraper focussing on history-related microblogging posts (see here), with a sweet spot for classical music and ... punk rock > please don't ask me why - i have been witnessing this from the start without me interfering - i only added two music-related hashtags to the magazine!

i think that your own assessment is more correct than the wikipedia article: a hartal is not just a strike (or general strike)
given the term's roots in colonial india, it is more appropriate to define hartal as a type of strike where people with practically no political recognition and representation do claim their very rights under an oppressive regime which outlaws any kind of protest
