Last few days have been very confusing for me. I am in a identity crisis right now. Since childhood everyone used to ask me what is my native place and I used to answer my Dad is from Rajasthan but I am born and brought up in Maharashtra. Now I am confused am I Maharashtrian or a North Indian. Earlier it didn't matter to me coz I considered myself INDIAN and thought that was all that I needed to know about my Identity.
In Last Few Days Mr. Raj Thackery has raised the questions of North Indians mainly UP and Bihar in his public addressals. But what Mr. Thackery has forgot is North India consists of many more states than just these Two and the Migrants to Mumbai are coming from all over INDIA including South. I am confused when Mr. Thackery says that he protecting the LOCALS from outsider. So how did Mr. Thackery arrive at this conclusion that people from only these two states are outsiders and not rest.
Why is Mr. Thackery so skeptical of speaking to the English Media whom he blames to have blowed the crisis out of proportion by showing the same visual again and again. Mr. Thackery only 1 question why did you TARGET that poor Taxi Driver and the Bhel Puri wala, if you admit that was a mistake are you going to compensate them and APOLOGISE to them on camera as you HIT them.
You say that there has cultural problem with the MIGRANTS. Tell me Mr. Thackery if Somebody can Celebrate CHRISTMAS,DIWALI,ID then why cant some one celebrate CHHAT I can not understand that.
The sooner Mr. Thackery understands that we are living in a era of GLOBALISATION, so not only people from other states of our country but people of OTHER COUNTRIES are looking at JOB Opportunities all over the world and they will grab it if they can DELIVER. SO what drives this North Indians? It is the tendency for survival. They will go that extra mile to earn that BREAD. If a North Indian can come and start a Bhel Puri Stall why cant a Marathi Manoos do that? does anybody stops him? I know for the RICKSHAW Drivers in PUNE mostly the so called MARATHI Manoos they behave as if they are doing a FAVOR by giving us the service and for that also they overcharge us. But thats another Issue I will write some other day.
So many Farmers are committing suscide, agreed the weather has not favoured them in the last decade and survival is very very difficult, but similar is the case in BIHAR. People there started MIGRATING for better pastures and were ready to work that much harder as desired by Life. I should not comment much on this coz I dont know much about the situation of FARMERS but from outside what appears I have mentioned.
I want to ask Mr. Thackery that his Party workers damaged 70 Buses alone in Pune. To whom does this BUS Belonged to?Whose MONEY was BURNT in the broad daylight? Wasnt MARATHI MANOOS Money there........
Your Workers Pelted stone at SCHOOL BUS...FOR GOD's Sake you did not even leave little innocent children who dont even understand what you are talking. WASN'T there a Marathi Manoos KID in that Bus.
If you say that NO OUTSIDERS will be allowed in MAHARASHTRA from now onwards. Then what right do we have to Question the WEST when they want INDIANS out of their Country so that their JOBS could be saved, IT INDUSTRY will shut down in days not even months if that happens and then again the Marathi Manoos will feel the pinch; so then what do you plan we Declare WAR with the country who BANS us? But what will your justification for that?
Mr. Thackery for his Political Gains has used this as "STUNT" issue; he has got his 15 seconds on the National Television; a political party with not much significance in Maharashtra has became famous all over the country in matter of days and stratergy has worked.
But I would just ask one question WHAT is the PRICE that this STATE has payed for the RISE of Mr. RAJ. Now when I go about in the Company Canteen; I see more people discussing from where does one belongs rather than chit chatting or having a good time.
Its High time Indian Judicial System took a HARD look at such NOTORIOUS TERRORIST of Democracy and dealt them with FIRM hand otherwise we will have many more RAJ THACKERY'S in the future.
