Mee Mumbaikar

When I started this blog I had decided never to use this bog to air my political views. But the recent incidents of beating up of the North Indian Mumbai taxidrivers by the activists or supporters of MNS has prompted me to write this.


The very first question that comes to head is were these goons MNS activists or was it an act of some other party of which Raj is taking the mileage by trying to turn the tables.

Does Mumbai belong to only Marathis; do the other migrants who have added to the prosperity and culture have no rights? History clearly tells that its the migrants from the various parts of the country who had laid the enterpreneurial seeds and in the process of development led to the prosperity of Mumbai as a whole - To tell the truth Mumbai cannot be claimed by any one community as its own, every community has a hand in its growth and each one has a right and freedom to follow its culture.

I feel the main reason behind all this factioning is to implement the "Divide and Rule" policy. Probably Mr.Raj is afraid of parties like SP trying to tap the North Indian vote bank and hence he should kindle the Marathi sentiment and secure the Marathi vote bank.

Raj tries to quote example of Manmohan Singh and Karunanidhi who have taken up the issues of their regional people with the French and Malaysian Govts, but my dear friend let me bring to your notice that their requests did not kindle any kind of violence.
