This time its regionalism...

As always I'm starting the blog by giving an excuse for not writing for a long time (almost an year now)...well I'm lazy and most of the time I don't have anything to write about. But I just couldn't stop myself from writing about what has been going on in Mumbai off late.

Mr. Raj Thackeray it trying to strengthen his political footing in the same fashion his uncle did many year back. Bala Baheb practically made a political career out of threating and using violence againt migrants from south india. They portray themselves as true guardians of
marathis , but what they fail to realize is that they are causing more harm to marathis than actually helping them, both in the short and long run.

When MNS workers burn taxis and buses, only because the drivers are from one particular region of India, they should understand that the taxis and buses are being used by their 'Marathi Manoos' and they are causing unconvinced to Marathis as well. Moreover they are harming the image of marathis all over India. If tomorrow same kind of incidents start happening, all over India, against marathis, is
Mr. Raj Thackeray going to protect them???

What really pisses me off is the inaction of the maharashtra govt and the police force. How can they allow such brutality to go on for so many days? Raj Thackarey points out that people from Bihar and UP and more prone to committing crimes since they are from lawless state...its pretty ironic that he has resolved to violence to prove this point.

Politicians in India can go to any lengths for power, they proved it by burning India by exploiting and manipulating people from different religions against each other and they are out again to harm India...only this time their weapon of choice is regionalism.
