Raj Thackeray, Marathi Manoos, North Indians...and Peace!!!!

Mumbai Burning!!!
Biharis, Up Wallahs Should Go Out...
Youth Killed Hijacking Bus...
Migrant Worker Killed In Mumbai...

These are some of the headlines which dominated the newspapers, magazines and yes the electronic news channels. The hatred was started by Raj Thackeray..What??? Once again a Thackeray doing the same thing after 40 years..Give them a change people..If some of ur old enough or are following the developemnt of regional parties in India..You must be knowing the rise and rise of cartoonist turned political powerhouse Balasaheb Thackeray...Yes..he is the man who reared Raj in his house called "Matoshree"...Now tracing the connection between older-younger Thackeray duo...Balsaheb started the hate-campaign against the normally peace-loving, lungi-clad Tamils in the 1960s using all the dirty tricks and goondaism to throw them out of Bombay..yes it was Bombay then..Hundreds of Tamil businessmen, students, labourers fled from the dream city to save themselves from the goons of Shiv Sena..the party floated by Balasaheb to satisfy his power-hunger...Now..cut to 2008..Raj, who has spent more time of his life with his uncle than his father has learnt the same drudgery, abohism and cunningess. He is doing the same thing..only this time the victims are North Indians..But mind you, they are again humans n Indians..I would not like to bash Mr. Raj Thackeray..I would just like to point out that its not as clear as it seems from outside..branding just Raj as the main "Mogambo" behind all this senseless violence would be making a foll of yourself..he is well supported by Congress and NCP..How and Why??? I would urge all of you to think over it..I would write in detail over it in my next blog...

Till Then...Pray for PEACE...

Excellent! Keep it up.

Bala Saheb sowed the seeds of hatred first against Tamils and when the circle was complete, he dragged Muslims under it. He is such a dangerous cartoon that some times his goons destroy the cricket pitch so that match with Pakistan is not held and some times he urges Hindus to be terrorists. His politics of hatred is bequeathed to his nephew, who is more dangerous. You call him Mogambo. Recall what happens to Mogambo at the end of the movie Mr. India.

And what they did for Maharasthra?

Thousands of farmers committed suicide in Maharashtra, did they say a word?

And yes I remember…they did one thing for which Marathi manus should be indebted to him.

First he protested against ENRON, and later accepted it after the then CEO of the then US company met him. Later, she said that the company had spent USD 1 million on educating the people in Bombay. True to Marathi Manus culture!

Well said, it's quite a fact that the Maharashtra Government is playing a larger role behind Raj Thakrey. The way Deputy C M Mr R.R.Patil backed the police for gruesome and insane killing of the bihari guy few days ago. He showcased his personal anger against the North Indians. The Marathis mock people from Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh for their Hindi Dialect and accent. One thing they don't realize is the fact that Bhojpuri is an internationally recognized dialect, whereas nobody knows Marathi apart from a bunch of Maharashtrian and few of their cousins settled in Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. With due regard to their "Maatri Bhasha" I would like to share my personal opinion, their language is no music to our ears either.

good one..a well balanced criticism..
NCP-Congress is allowing Raj to continue with this so that he cuts the votebank of shivsena..thus the maratha votebank gets split and its allaince remains the winner..its an age-old tactic to cut into vote bank...
parties like MNS, even Shivsena, Trinamool congress bank on the passions of the mob to increase its base..the bigger parties resort to these when they are on the decline..they flare up the passion of people, whether communal or regional...and worst part is that they have been successful in doing so
