Manndar Narvekar
Topic owner: Manndar Narvekar: Dear Mr. fernadez, first thing first, my personal suggetions to you, dont call him a "Bal" call him "BALASAHEB"

next if he is having an IQ of 8 years of child, i think you are not born yet.

if you think he hate everybody, pl check list of his friends & wel-wishers (many of them are muslims & other religeon)

If you think SRK is right & he can select pakistani players for his team, The stand of BALASAHEB is far better than any so called secularist in india.(How can a people like you can forget the all terrorist attacks so easiliy)

Some people aksed a question, what shivsena & BALASAHEB is doing while terrorist attacks of 26/11. I want to ask, what sonia gandhi, your rahul gandhi, manmohan singh is doing at the same time? Some congress ministers lost their ministry because of their careless attitude during these attacks. I want to bring to your notice what shivsainik had done. The Shakhapramukh of the area where nariman house located, stopped terrorist with his shivsainik by throwing stones from escaping. The cheif of NSG commando send a letter to say thanks to this Shakhapramukh from Delhi for their bravery & smartness

You think that he is standing againt of all outsiders of country everytime but remember my friend In 1982, when Indira Gandhi was killed by her own security guards, whole country went against the sikhs community. Many of congress workers killed sikhs in Dehi & other parts of country. Only in Mumbai & maharashtra the sikhs community lived peacefully at that time, only because of SHIVSENA & "BALASAHEB" . My dear friend, this is not said by us. These are words of Mr. Gyani Zailsingh(our former President)

now the issue of MARATHI Manoos & language, Only & Only "BALASAHEB" have a right to say about it, think about it & take a any actions about the same.

Pl check, How many people are earning, living, working & getting education bacause of Shivsena.

We all Marathi people want to live in our cities with peace & harmony. We dont want to create any war againt any other state. but we dont want any mess from other states. Our Cities are developed not just bacause of outsiders but the thinking of developments is already there in this soil. we are fighting for our basic rights of son of soil. But You & your all friends will nvere understan this.

last but not least, dont call him "BAL"

call him "BALASAHEB" (with respect)

Anchal Gupta Hi dear readers,



I thankful to all those are supporting to MNIK which is going very well. It is a signal for Bal (Child) that we are Indians not thakreans. I t I dont like to be a part of bloody thakrean sena. Who is defaming us all over the world. I ask you all Indians that there are much bigger issues rather than it and for them Bal what is doing. Nothing else.

Prashant Srivastava
Prashant Srivastav.. You call him whatever you like. Why should we, is he god ? Is he a avatar of Vishnu , Siva or anyone else ?
He is just a political leader of Mumbai in view of the rest of Indians , that's it. Or do you guys consider Mumbai as India , or the world itself.

Move out of Mumbai a little and you will find no one wants to know who are Thackerays and no one is interested in them.

I am a true Indian and will support them at every step if they support the cause of unifying India as a whole , but not on the issue of this divisive politics.

If you respect him so much, you have got all the rights to go to his home daily , unke aadarpoorvak charan sparsh karo , no one is stopping you yaar.But please don't force others ro do that.

We love India and all the humankind as a whole, we are not trapped like a frog in a well ( in your case a city and a state only).

We should repost Pakistani terrorists and their army with full power whenever they try to create a nuisance in our country, I totally agree on that, but that doesn't mean that we start to hate people on the basis of their region, religion,state etc.

It's a pity that I assume you to be well educated (on the basis that you are commenting through a website) and you are scribbling such nonsense.

And mind you , Mumbai is whatever is it because it's a sea harbour and in olden days all the trade was done through the sea route.

All the cities on the sea coasts are developed since olden days. You can see the example of New York, Sydney,Los angeles,Dubai, Karachi,Hong Kong, to name a few.

It was not the Thakeray's that were laying bricks that time to build Mumbai.

They don't want Pakistanis to play IPL , nor the Austarlians.
Do we want a Shiv Sena vs MNS match at Wankhede.
Raj uncle batting and Uddhav uncle Bowling........lol????

I just worship lord Shiva and on the eve of this Mahashivratri he came to my dream and has told me that he has no wing of his army as Shiv Sena and these are just some imposters.So I can't worship them sorry.....lol

on Sat, 20 Feb, 2010
Pramod Mhaisne My dear friends, Why you people are giving so much importance to this issue. It all about politics. Both Shivsena & Shahrukh are not priorities of this country. Simply ignore them. Do you get money for watching MNIK. Be smart & understand these publicity stunts friends.
on Sat, 13 Feb, 2010
Prashant Srivastav.. And you can't say that North Indians have done nothing for Maharashtrians. Just look at C.M of U.P , she has constructed parks worth almost a whopping 2500 crs across U.P as a mark of respect for Hon. Shri Bhimrao Ambedkar, who was unarguably one of the greatest of Maharashtrians and have written one of the best constitution of the world.

Arush Jain can u tell what he has done for the families except for standing by them.............he can send shivsainiks to stop screening of movie but where his shivsainiks or mns ppl were when 26/11 happened....... how many of dem went to hospitals to donate blood or money...... hez just pain 4 india and wid age hez lost his mental balance
on Sun, 14 Feb, 2010
Prashant Srivastav.. We all Indians are with those families always and understand their pain. Every Indian is a part of the Indian fraternity and we all love them. No doubt about that, only these politicians are creating the divide amongst us. Why do we love boundaries, let's kick these walls together and create a united India.

Spoilt Sizzling
Spoilt Sizzling abbey o bandar aka mandar...I wouldn't just call him 'bal'.. but also that he is a sick, senile, reckless, sophomoric, obsolete politician. Perhaps, he is too old to be prudent. And what did you say? to call him 'balasaheb' with respect? My ass ! Dude, I am a marathi myself and i don't effin feel there is any agitation and disharmony in my city 'cause of non-marathis or to be more precise, the northies. Look dude, if you really wish to live a long life then better not post such blogs. Moreover, 'balu' needs supporters like you as he is running short of 'em with each passing print of his "Saamna". Poor 'balu', i don't blame him....everyone needs some amusement and entertainment. For him, he bags it by writing contentious blogs !

Jai Hind ! Jai Maharashtra !
on Fri, 12 Feb, 2010
Prashant Srivastav.. Ha ha . Well said.But being a north Indian I'd request my fellow north Indians to try to behave best with your Maharashtrian brothers and sisters and encourage others to do as well. Give them respect and display your real values. I know we are not that bad as we are framed. Infact be an exemplary north Indian wherever you go .

Prashant Srivastav.. Dear Mademoiselle

Are you aware that Bihar has registered the 2nd largest growth in the last 5 years (2nd next to Gujrat). It produces the highest no. of IAS officers in India and they are the best when it comes to maths. Aryabhatta who gave '0' to the world was Bihari, Chanakya the world's oldest renowned economist was a Bihari, The Nalanda university (world's oldest) was established in Bihar.

U.P has given 4 prime ministers to India.Our Gods Rama and Krishna both born in U.P. It has the Taj Mahal(not to mention one of the greatest wonders of the world), Our holy rivers like Ganges and the Yamuna. Previously India's one of the most sought after destinations(Uttaranchal now). It produces the second highest IAS officers after Bihar. Noida in U.P is the 2nd largest software exporter and one of the most planned cities of India. Don't want to continue further on that.

You are right that these politicians should take steps to increase Industrialisation and generate more employment but that doesn't mean that people or the state as a whole are bad.

Maharashtra people disgustingly call them bhaiyya . But Bhiyya is just a name for brother in Hindi as we call Bhau in Marathi, Bhaijaan in Urdu,Praa in Punjabi and Brother in English.

You may be lucky enough to born in a posh Society in Mumbai but what if you were born in a remotest of a village of a state with the minimum of facilities and opportunities. Doesn't he/she has the right to go to a bigger city and earn his living.

It will always be Jai Hind and long live Humanity for me. Only after that Jai Maharshtra,Jai Bihar,jai Punjab,Jai U.P,Jai Gujrat .........and the list continues till we want to disintegrate it into.....Jai Borivali, jai Kandivli, jai Malad, Jai Andheri, Jai Poisur, Jai Dahisar etc. etc....

Om Roy
Om Roy I think lots of people talk about who is doing what? I think this is the matter stretched a lot.



I believe, I do respect our country India and care for it all time. If someone say respect BALASAHEB, I wonder why should I? Did he do something or anything India is proud of? Is he the prime minister of India? Or he is something have extraordinary class and talent of gathering good people around him. The people who respect him are just like him or just fear of him.



I love this country doesn't mean I respect someone whose contribution towards our country is null. I will always respect who has done something for this country and do it silently. Pakistan..Pakistan...this is something we're giving too much importance which is non-existance. I would love if you people come together to respect India and not some Jack, Tom, Jonny....Too many thakreys are there...and they are only ones creating tension among people.



Repect lays beneath our heart just wake it up man.

Anchal Gupta Hi Manndar Ji.............. Greetings



I think Bal is a Bal (child) and he don’t have mind. Think why he is dividing Indians between Marathi & others. It’s a cheap (political) thinking. Actually, he is a politician so he needs an issue in a time to be continued.

He is misguiding to peoples. But you know, now we (Indians) are more educated and can understand these cheap political tricks. But somebody are not aware that its Bal’s political funda. Nothing else.



He is nothing just public do everything because a quantity of people think that he is a Bhagwaan …………… …. shame on him. A cheaper guy who do politics with all if he is celebrity, politician or an ordinary citizen. Such a stupid guy.

N J Mr. Narvekar, issue is about ban on SRK's movie. SRK has made some statements about cricket. And Balasaheb is trying to ban his movie. Sorry, but I fail to see the logic.

If you disagree with SRK(or anyone), fine. There are more decent ways of expressing your disagreement.

Ashish Sajnani
Ashish Sajnani Dear All,

Balasaheb Thakrey is huge personality..he has done great for Mumbai in past but that does not justify what he is doing now.

The point "why hurt the common man", SRK said something so MNIK should be opposed.

Only SRK is not the person involved there..there is lots of hard work by common man in it..If you are so concerned about it, fight with him directly.. y a movie should be banned..that is jungle raj..
If you want to stop North indians from coming to mumbai..form your government and take positive steps...why again hurt the aam aadmi



Aam aadmi is the only one who is strongest and easiest to hurt..hence they go for it..
Terrorists want to hurt aam aadmi...these 'hidden' terrorists want to hurt aam aadmi...everybody whenever feels like hurts the aam aadmi...if you some issue fight where it needs to be fought


y dont Mr. Balasaheb thackrey go and fight the government when they allowed Pakistani players to play in IPL..

Its rubbish to support something like this...

Reservation is the worst enemy of india...let the people who are efficient get the jobs..not marathis, not hindus, not others..

Mr. Balasaheb Thakrey wins when we fight here like this..
We are INDIANS, i believe we all agree to that...

Just try to convert them in Marathi or Hindi and think how disgusting it sounds from your mouth. You have imbibed everything from the west and call urself a Maharashtrian/Indian. You call people from north India spoiling your culture but what about the things you are copying from the west. Don't copy them so much that you lose your own Identity.

Also I'd request every other person in this discussion to refrain from such abusing as we are all brothers and sisters here and brothers and sisters have all the rights to quarrel with each other when they live in a home. But maintain a level of decency please.

Amc Mumbai
Amc Mumbai Call him Balasaheb

Well thats depends on the view of a person. He must have gained enough of ur respect so are right to call him Balasaheb

But for me he is plain Mr. Bal Thackrey. He has not gained my respect

The Mumbai i know is different than what is being said by these few politicians. The Mumbai i know is All Accepting ... Miticultural ... Multilingual ... Consmopolitain and thats what give this gr8 city its character... You cant take that away from Mumbai ... its character



What cause is he fighting for ... that Mumbai is for Maharasthrians???

So what are about the people who have lived their whole lives in this city ... love this city and think this is their own city??

If he really wants to fight for a cause there are many causes to fight for ... like poverty ... illiteracy ... etc etc but then that would not give him enogh political mileage

Wake up people do u really think he cares abt who has the right over mumbai???

His party was in dumps last election so he come up with these non issues to fight for ... taking on celebs who call mumbai for all ... any publicity for him is good publicity

Why are we played along by these few people who have thier own motives

There is a lot to heal for the country already ... the partition ... the roits ... the naxals ... the caste discrimination ... so lets heal first hurt doesnt take us anywhere

Sach Ka Samna
Sach Ka Samna Why Maharashtra is developed and why people desire to adopt this state as home-



1. Marathis in past never left their states in masses instead worked hard to build their state. You go aboard, you'll see gujjus, Biharis, UPs, Tamils, Bengalis all over the place. They leave their states instead of developing their state- short cut to avoid hard work. Recently, visas were suspended for north Indians. Why dont you argue with them and put claim to whole world? cos you find Marathi people tolerant and willing to listen.

2. Maharastra attracts people cos of its culture and values which has developed this state. People coming in should respect it otherwise it will same as UP or Bihar. Come and stay but dont throw dirt on it and its people. Little appreciation will bring you guys closer to Marathi people. That Azmi MP from SP, lived in Maharashtra for 25 years and claims not to know marathi, says only Hindi must spoken in Maharashtra. Which indeginous people will allow snakes like these to live in their homes?

3. Don't lay your claim and try to wipe out Marathi culture. Nobody will stop you comming in Maharashtra but show some dignity rather bring bad culture.

Sach Ka Samna Talpade or Tadpade get your facts rights rather being ignorant. Bollywood got success cos there was marathi foundation to it. Before Bollywood, marathi theatre, singers were very prominent for centuries. In each village artists were developed and performed. Then marathis started making hindi movies, but marathi cinema got pushed backwards. V Shantaram, Mangeskars are just few to name. Mumbai didn;t go to SRK o Bachan, they came here cos there were opportunities already. Why didn't north has its bollywood like South? Maharashtra doesn't gets its wealth alone from Mumbai, other parts of state provides power, irrigation agriculture strengthen businesses for whole state. What you gonna shift in Delhi? Shila Dixit has already mourning your presence of outsiders. Mumbai was never lifeless and its wealth depends on rural cities of Maharashtra and not that anything coming from north.If there was any wealth there, then you wouldn't come in this state would you? For businesses to run, one needs electricity, food, waters, weather, culture and values, all these were and are present in Maharashtra. You want to shift companies to North to make Mumbai lifless, how exacty with no power? If you could, you would.!

Stop shouting baseless rhetorics and saying that Maharashtra is because of you. its other way around. I dont give damn about Thackerays but yes people eating here and shitting on same plate will not be tolerated. And Mumbai will never be lifeless, shift whatever your belongings if you like. However, thos respect Marathi culture, Maharashtra will be always their home no matter which part of the world you were born. Dont stay, eat and threaten to make Mumbai or Maharastra lifeless.

Vishnu Talpade Mr.sach ka samna.....
maharashtra is developed coz of mumbai....and mumbai is developed coz of bollywood and share market that's why it is called as financial capital.....but what if both the things are shifted to delhi.....mumbai wud be lifeless.....
what mumbai is today....its not because of thackreys.....its because of there people so these thackreys shud better shut their mouth up....the ppl toiling day and night hav the rite to speak for mumbai....not the thackreys.....they r bloody politicians...
one thing more if u find the presence of other state ppl in foreign countries then it means they r more capable and hard working.
one thing more hindi is our mother tongue so we shud kno dat language and there is no need to learn marathi....but we respect every language....
there are several thousand languages spoken all over the world but it doesnt mean we shud learn every lang....
we want integral india.......

Cool Man
Cool Man hi everyone maharastra in not shiv sena's or MNS property it is in India and every Indian is has the right to live and work any where in India. If they dont like people from different parts of India to come and live in Maharastra then these poeople are crazy they should buy their own island and run their own government in that island and take away people who are of same mentality to that island. There are lot of problems in India like rising prices of commodities etc. why dont they talk about this type of problem what common man are facing. just get rid of these type of politicians, they will divide India to more pieces

Indian And Indian Every Indian has his right to say what he thinks. And I respect Marathi people as well. In fact, one of my best friend who have help me since I am in Maharashtra. It has been 6 yrs since I am here and he had be a helping hand to me. But on this we both think that people like Raj and others are dividing the country on the basis of region for their own profit. Their motive don't have any thing to do with Marathi people or any other. They are only doing this to be in politics and power. I also agree that respected Bala Saheb, once started his journey for a reason, but it seems that in due course he as well is losing his focus on the reason.

Ppb Sub
Ppb Sub Dear,

I am not a shiv sainaik but some of the stand are shivsena are really good and straight forward.

Unfortunately in this country where a family ruled for 50 years, media itself is biased.



Regarding this SRK issue every body knows why srk gave such staments.

It’s because his movie (Name itself been kept to woo the undeveloped Muslim world like pakistan).



He was knowing looking at mood of common Indian it was not wise to hire pakis in IPL team, so why should pakis watch any Indian movies.

Now those gaddar played a trick, suddenly he had lot of love towards pakistanis .

He forgot that terrorists in 26/11 were ordinary pakis citizens who were trained with Indian hate.

He forgot hundreds of attacks in Indian soil, fake currency scam by pakistan, so wars initiated by pakistan.



Now I know that many peoples will argue lets us know mix sports and politics.

But the fact is that every pakistani is a Indian hater because this country it alive on Indian hate.



These pakis want to come to India as artist, payers earn here go back, pay taxes in pakistan to help attacks on Indian soil.

I know that many peoples argue they are odrdianry citizens etc etc. But because of this stand we are already feeding 5 crore

uncivilised, uneducated bagaladeshi and pakistani. Because of this soft stand we almost lost Assam to bagaldesh - 70%+ are bagaladeshi now.





SRK is such cheap person who supported paki players for his own profit, it show his mentality, "paise ke liye kuch bhi karega".

You can not compare BigB with SRK, who dared to return award from asses to protest attacks on indians.



The only problem with our media is stand is SS is very clear and bold, its difficult to digest.

They fear lossing their vote bank, but at the same time they are insulting muslims by attaching them to pakistan relatd issues.



They forgot that muslims in mubai opposed for cremation of mumbai atatckers in our motherland.

Most of the Indian Muslim are able to understand now that they are very much safer in INDIA.



Fact is indina do not need any relation with this terrorist nation, do not talk about peace and all.



Just imagine a small country of 75 lack population like israel figting against all odds and became superpower , why ?



fortunately they did not kept chantring peace and peace.

Why did US became supwerpower ? Its because attack Japan .



We indians always misunderstood the principles of gandhiji .



No weaker country can survive and thats law of nature so plesae do not chant peace.

Billionnaires thats what all the thakerays are.If they care so much about the marathi manoos then why don't they help them with their own illegally amassed wealth

Saurabh M hey kumar i dont knw whr u frm and dont care.Wat do u mean by ur statement.U come from some backward places in india to maharashtra and criticise maharashtrians.I m not supporter of SS or MNS but wil never stand anyone insulting maharashtrians.If u people and ne qualities in u bihar , UP wud have been far better states.U dont have any life their so u come here and go wild.y dont u protest against assam where biharis are not allowed to enter and beaten up on streets.In Tamil nadu no one will b allowed to speak hindi but u dont have guts to fight against that.Just because maharashtrians are tolerant u can say these things.It is people like u who bring bad name to all north indians.U cities dont have any facilities thats y u come here.Think twice before saying anything wrong against maharashtra and maharashtrians.

If all Northies (Better call UP and Biharis) left Maharashtra then what will they do in UP Bihar to earn ROTI, KAPDA & MAKAN. They all uneducated (They have Dgree not Brain) best they can do is CHAPLUSI, All UP Biharis are Namak haram they not respect Maharashtra. I m not supporting Balasahab Thakrey or Sharuk Khan but i think what you said that was the proof of mentality of u Biharis

on Wed, 10 Feb, 2010
Ppb Sub Kumar get the facts right.
Power water and such all the facilities were given by the land of maharastra. As you said north indians (Better call UP and Biharis) are so good in developing then why their own stats UP and BIHAR are so undeveloped that millions of UP and BIHARI's are out on the roads of every indian city for a wage if few rupees a day ?
How come same UP BIAHRIS who been back bone of mumbai as par your follish thinking are struggling in rest of india for food ?

The fact is these UP BIAHRIS are uneductaed, uncivilised who came here and created so many law and order issues.

It show your nature how haramkor you are , where you earned your bread you are abusing the same peoples, this wahat justifies the stand of shivsena.
Better to comment on UP BIHAR not on mubai maharstra and its peoples

Poor bad condition.. Writing a few bad words here wont take much time and efforts for me as for you. But I thought the idea is to discuss the things and try to find the solutions. Anyway, whatever you do be assured that you people wont be able to do anything other than craving in your home but driving others out of this country. May be one day will come when people like you will be thrown out of this country.. Last thing I never meant to say anything bad for Bengali brothers.. the comment was for you alone.

Ravi Kumar Thaksen Jadhav
Ravi Kumar Thaksen.. MR. Narvekar I know you Respect Bal thackrey . Every maharashtrian Does , anyone will get agitated if you say something to their idol person. But You should remember Balasaheb Thackrey is also a Human being No matter how muc experience and intelligence he has, he can also commit mistake. Its not necessary that his all comments are right . First of all his comment about pakistani players, just because they are pakistani that dosent mean they have bombed Mumbai or any country. Some terrorist comes to your country and create havoc and you people blame whole country then i guess Indian should be banned from going to any country because there are numerous cases where an Indian has raped a foreign lady thats also a crime. even maharashtrians should be banned from traveliing interstate cause there lots of maharashtrians who are very activly related in crimes. The number of people died in mumbai attack is very less than murders that happen in maharashtra even if u take a months total.. so by bala saheb thackreys theory shouldnt maharashtrians banned from travelling anywhere.? you just cant blame a person for crimes of others. Think yourself keep aside balasaheb thackreys comments and put yourself in the position of people who are not even related with crimes still just because of there countrymen they are disgraced. If u cant figure it out you should travel around the world dont just sit there and kepp talking ..... NEXT australian IPL players ban... i am in australia right now i know the situation better than you and balasaheb thackrey . I accept that some attacks are racial but more than 90% of attacks are just normal burglaries....you cant term it racist....do u think indian people more secured in india? girls cant even walk streets in india after 8 pm cause of the crimes happen there...the number of indians get beaten every year is far less than people get beaten in india in a day.. i think you know this fact. its just a security concern and people are dealing with it...there is no need of banning australian players playing in INDIA aur maharashtra....SPORTS AND POLITICS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS DONT MIX IT UP.....SPORTS CARRIES MESSAGE OF PEACE...People who paly sports with the feeling of vengence wont understand this. I guess you should think out of the box.... And ONE last things If you believe in Balasaheb thackrey who inturn Believe in CHATRAPTATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ should think your actions then you will understand you are doing Just Opposite what SHri Chatrapati shivaji maharaj wanted ....and i guess you also know how many different people of diverse community worked under him towards goal of one india and peace full india not one maharashtra and marathis maharashtra....I





One more thing about migration of north indians in Mahrashtra if you have studied history no other people in indian except dravidians belong to the country migrated from different part of asia and africa ...dont you should go back to your land ...



What if all mahrashtrians from each remote village in come to mumbai pune or any city in maharashtra .... how will handle 8 crore people .... WILL you say than mumbai belongs to mumbaikar

pune belongs to punekar nagpur belongs to nagpur people just because this people who are living in the city of 100s of years cant get jobs because of people from other villages and cities of maharashtra..... will u then start kicking your Own marathi people out mumbai pune nagpur satara.........may be iam wrong but tell you i was born in shillong meghalaya my parents are maharashtrian... i have lived in maharashtra for less than 8 years because my father was in air force... what will you do with me should i go to meghalaya even if i am marahstriyan from origin ....what should you call me rajasthani , UP ka bhaiya, Uttranchal, Punjab cause i have stayed in these states for most of my life......will you banish me and my parents from coming to pune or what will u call us........I will tell You what I should be called me and my family are INDIANS ... my father has server india for 25 yrs in air force.. my brother is in air force.....iam going to join army soon....cause i care for india and its unity..........YOU should understand this .....this is my understanding of india... i love my people i have know problem someone coming to my state and work there cause if he has got the job before me i guess he has performed better than me......You people should focus more on corruption in mahrashtriyan employment schemes and companies then your own incompetence...my father also runs business but we are unable to get in maharashtrian people in ... you know why cause very few maharashtrian work with dedication ... most of them just slack off.. "aaj majhay kaka chya mamchya muli cha lagna ahey, aaj majhya mitarachya porach barsa ahey, ajj hycha dahava tar udya tyacha terava.. aaj hya gavachi jatra tar udyac mitra chya ghari gondhal" they dont even work 20 days in a month ....where as people from other state work hard and earn more than my dad companies accountant......try to be competent........

so in summary stop thinking with other brain and use your own.....put yourself in others situation....work for your country men if you consider them brothers help them go see whats happening in their houses........i guess you will get what i mean...if not i am sorry you are not fit to work for india or even mahrashtra........ please stop balming single person for other ill done...................at the end i apologise if i have hurt anyone..... Please bring peace to the country there are other important problems to work on like national security..poverty... crime...political parties violent rallies which destroys public property...................i ask you people to work towards one india cause india is divided in states for better governance not on basis of language and religion thats the main thing.........Please try to bring peace to the country..........JAI HIND

If you see posts above they are just fighting for nothing and without any facts and kicking eacch others ass. u see i pointed out the main facts bad and good thats why no body is denying them and no body is replying to my post ...cause they cant justify there stand.... any ways thats not my concern i just want all people to understand my post ...and dont want to follow anyone just because he is a great man in the era. I like to look at things at my point of view that helps me to justify things better with others influence......any way Thank and hope India will develop just not in number of posh buildings but internally and people will be of strong heart .......i am very sad with the people who are so much educated and still talk nonsense..........take care and if you are right dont back down even if it kills you ............ :) JAI HIND

Ravi Kumar Thaksen.. Mr. Kiran mharashtrian is paying bil for his family correct , bihari sharing his bill correct... But still they are paying there share of bill . Also they are paying 2 bills one for there family in there hometown plus one bill in mahrashtra plus he is paying rent whatever there share is.. so if u do the maths correct there spending need is more which not second to mahrashtriyan... why would u will pay rent for others? there are mahrashtrian students and working people from other places in mahrashtra who come to cities like pune and Mumbai they share flat , they share there bills there rent ...that dosent mean they are not living for free they are paying there share of utilities plus if u know or u have ever gone to live other than your city you should know its always extra cost for people coming from other place no matter if you go to mumbai , pune chennai , delhi , kolkata......you have to pay extra light bill , extra water bill,... so please first get your facts right my friend and then do the maths...........:) jai hind

Kiran Shingote Mr Ravikumar
Both pays bill
but there is difference
Maharshtrian has to bear Bill for family
where as Bihari sahres the bill
same way room rent
if one is staying with family with whom he wil share bill
Mahrashtrain paying 500 same is divided in 10 biharis
so cost of living is more for local people

on Thu, 11 Feb, 2010
Ravi Kumar Thaksen.. Hi KLK devendu First of all I am not blaming anyone ..i think some things are happening in a wrong ways so thats my point of view people can agree with that or not... NOW for your first point
1) why kolkata didnt get developed similar to mumbai
the answer is very simple... again because of geographical condition... after independence India was heavily depedent on western countries and if you know most of the imports and exports happens via sea route...and i dont know if you know this But NO SHIP enters in center of Oceans cause of various security reasons and enviormental hazards... All the ships travels near the coast that dosent mean very near the coast... But at distance where security forces can come faster...so for western nations mumbai And was very easily accessible and safe route....also mumbai is one of the best natural harbours around the world i u understand what i mean... so its obvious a city like this can grow very rapidly...Indian first train also was built in mumbai by britishers and grew from here so it was the farmost the best option to deliver goods all around the country.. also the one Main factor which runs every nation OIL what will be more feasible taking oil to kolkata aur vishakhapatnam aur chennai or MUMBAI with better harbour location and very close proxemity to OIL wells of mumbai and GULF.....and KOLKATA is the second largest port of india that is because most of its part went into bangladesh when bangladesh was formed....thats your first answer.

2)Again same thing MUMBAIS geographical condition....But let me tell u remind one more thing if u didnt forget Chennai is a metro city i guess u have not been there... Its as big as mumbai and as developed as mumbai or any other metro city. Chennai is the second largest exporter of software in india , major automotive industries are based in chennai and it accounts 60 % of automotive exports takes place in chennai..It is also important military center in india.. airforce JCO rank recruits are traine din chennai..chennai is culturly much diverse than any other city in india and as everbody know they are true Indians they are offsprings of dravidians not like like rest of india who are offspring of aryans who migrated from central aisa and europe..so technically even maharashtriyan dosent belong to maharashtra cause they also migrated here from europe and central asia and controlled people who were actually living here...how will u justify that..?should all maharashtriyan go back to central asia cause our ancestors encroched on other land isnt it............vishakhapatnam has the headquarter of Eastern NAVAL COMMAND and has main laboratories for navy . The port is also one of the biggest ports in India . However Due to security concern the port is not open for general public use as compared to mumbai.. Just because its matter of national security... also Vishakhapatnam is house to biggest steel industries in india ..Trivendrum i guess u forgot to mention it has Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre,Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research is the cleanest city in india and earns a big part of tourism industry india... so iguess the internt you are using is because of the satelites built here even your phone....It also has largest IT park in india technopark which i guess 2nd or 3rd in asia... About mangalore it is also equally important and first of all its a agriculture based city and if u have been there its very beautiful and well developed city and it also one of the top 10 harbors in india....plus Karnatka has bangalore biggest IT city in india .... and again a lot of north indians stay in bangalore even a not as much as mumbai but not less than any metro city.... so whether chennai, manglore , vishakhapatnam kolkata are equally imporant to india in not just sense of money which all mumbai is about ... but technological advancment of india where mumbai just has IIT powai for research and few more institution...

3rd)BSE was not founded by marathis it was business center of indians because of East India company all businessman use come and trade here and gradually it became bigger ... so its not most of the marathi people but businessmans and kings from all over the country and England goverment laid the foundation of BSE and why people still call it BSE shouldnt it be MSE...........
4)you are right partially... i guess u got the fact wrong that outside people dosent dissolve ... i have never seen a single person from other state who dosent celebrate ganpati mohotsav ,diwali, etch all my friends from north india celebrate everything happens in mahrashtra....but if only speaking marathi is marathi manoos culture the i totally disagree ....and even north indian staying in pune or mumbai or any other city understand Marathi and try to speak it......no one can learn a language in 2 3 years... if one can do that why all indian dont speak englis properly (educated til 10th) cause they have been taught english for more than 5 years... tell me can u learn and speak asaami , kasmiri , punjabi, haryanvi bengalli or any other language which is not in devnagri script tamil in 4 yrs if u can do that when u will go for work and studying and partying and dont tell me u dont have to do that just because your not going outside mahrashtra for work ...i guess even if u go for 2 days any where in india u should communicate thats what is importance................and marathi people can speak hindi cause there scripts are same..........my friend learnin a language is not as easy as eating or spending money...and who got into mahrashtras political affairs... it was shiv sena and MNS who started aggetating and on issue which was never there beating people who gave them right of beating people nobody has that .... and when they reacted u call that poiltical involvment.. u want me to keep quite while when us kick my balls(just an example)......I guess you will understand what i am saying and ...i agree with some of your points but the things are going its just not right....its pure racisam....i guess india is more racist than any other country...this is the first country to have such issue .. i never heard a country with such issue melnourne, sydney , newyork london shanghai people from diverse culture come and live together they never had such problem in modern era.. and most of the south asian indonasian, korean chinis they dont even speak englis properly still they are accpeted in bigger cities of world no matter how over crowded it is... u should think over and u need some travelinng in india.... i did that form 23 years of my life thats y understand other peoples and our problems... may be u have done that to...but from where i see then you wouldnt have commented like other people....and finally iam not blaming anyone cause u blame people when u dont have proof of there wrong doings but in case of MNS ans Shiv Sena they are just doing dada giri....... they have done a lot of good things but that dosent justifies there stand agianst other states people......Lastly i am also a mahrashtriyan ... I apologise for any offending comments.... :) Jai HInd

Ravi Kumar Thaksen.. Hi kiran u did the maths right but i guess u forgot to consider one fact.......i agreed many UP bihari live alone and in group but thats because there are families are staying back in their state in some remote village and they dont stay free here they also pay rent and electricity bill...i dont know where u got this information that a lot of north indians pay bills..even marathi peoplen steal electricity go into go and check MSEB board and ask them what was recovery amount and how many people they have caught stealing lights..and more than 50 % of farmers steal electricity and MSEB suffer loses and they them selves has to suffer loadsheddings ... and the way u say north indians dont have family support are all of them brahmcharis? getrs ur fact right my Friend ...and they send there earned earned money back home....and other thing isnt it obvious that when you are working as self emplyed worker ur doing business if a UP wala can afford to do a 10000 job in 5000 with same skill level why will someone pay 10000 ...everybody wants to save there money isnt it.........one more example and if a bihari tata indicom interent provider will give u 2 gb internet in 250 bucks and a marathi provider will give u same scheme in 500 with same qaulity which one will u choose? if u choose 500 i think its foolishness anyone will think that until and unless you or ur parents are crorepati..or lakhpati.... that was about small scale business.....now lets talk about service sector.......every worker working in a multinational comapny or a private company whether manager or sweeper gets a basic salary there is no distinction on the basis of ur domicile....every company agrees that by indian employment LAW....i guess i have answered ur question ....I will again apologise if i have ofended u in any way.... :) Jai Hind

Let assume
You have two type worker
1 Maharshtrian
2 UP BIhari
Both do same job
Let say produce x amount materail in 8 hr
and Owner has to pay 10000 for that job nad thats right salary
But both have differeent condition
1Maharashtrain stays with family
He has to pay room rent light bill telephone bill`s so salary ok for him
Now UP Bihari migrant come he work same but he get 5000
he can manage in 5000 because he satys in group
no family to look after
no light bill tension
so 5000 ok for him
now factory owner want to mahrashtrain to work for him in 5000
Which is not pssoible to survive him
so Maharashtrains are opposing

Klk Davendu Mr. Ravi..Thanks for your post. I understand your point of view, but I am sure you haven't mine. I didn't want to point out that nobody should come to MH outsiders are not welcome here. The idea which I wanted to put forward has much bigger perspective. Instead of overcrowding a single state and a single state taking all burden on its resources, isn't it better to develop all the states to the same level?? If see my post again, you will find that I am talking about the sacrifices of Marathis for Mumbai for those people who keep claiming that Mumbai is developed because of outsiders and locals have no role to play. Well, if you are also saying that then let me know the answers of the following questions 1) I know per container output of Kolkata port was more than Mumbai before independence. If Kolkata was so good for trade then why didn't it survived as major goods exporter in the next 60 years. It had golden chance of development as a economic hub in India.. But it didn't... The reason was not only the location or stock market, the main reason was the communist govt. elected by people.. Lots of Bengali brothers have been travelling to other states and countries because inspite of having good talent they cann't get jobs in their own state. Its not only stock market but rather its govt. policies that decide the development focus of the state. The recent example is Singur 2) Ok, lets accept that Kolkata couldn't develop due to its location in the East., what about Chennai and Vishakhapattanam and Trivandrum and Mangalore in KK?? Kerala and Karanataka has got better locations than Mumbai port, then why didn't they develop?? Again its not location, stock market but its wise decision of locals to elect the govt. which decides right policies. 3) Now lets come to the point of BSE in Mumbai. I am sure you know that when BSE started many Marathis were the founder members of that.. so Marathis even have the founding membership in that.. Today also Marathis are very well trading in BSE and the percentage is not too low... And as BSE was founded in Mumbai, why couldn't other states or people who claim that 'we the outsiders' built Mumbai couldn't even built a single city in their states?? forget about the stock exchange etc. 4) Now see the point, which probably everybody raises, that constitution has given the right to everybody to settle in any state or region.. Agreed but in the same constitution, it is written that you should get dissolved into the local culture and don't show any separate existence.. Is it happening in Mumbai or MH in general??.. Everybody coming from outside tries to show off the power through the constituencies of N. Indians and we MH people will oppose that forever. So you see, its not the problem of settling, its the problem of separate existence showed by these people. Why didn't it happen to Marathis in other states?? The reason is simple, they have got merged into the local language, culture and at least don't form separate political groups and ask for change of language in Legislative Assembly etc. Thats why in the past 60 years nobody opposed Marathis in other states. S.Indians also have been coming to MH, but they never got involved into political affairs, also they developed their own states and cities in S.India and therefore are much more developed than N. Indians. Lastly, the parties like SS or MNS wont stand if dream of having unified development in India comes true.. Everybody should remember that they can't keep other communities under threat like N.Indians to Marathis. The situations may go bad if we don't try to solve the basic problems in undeveloped states rather than blaming SS or Balasaheb.

Ppb Sub Dear ravi kumar, do you know what is biggest threat to our country ?

It is peoples like you and me who had been soft towards pakistanis and bagaladeshis.
We already had illegal 5 crore pakis and bangala, do you that this population is the root cause of most of our problems .

What is kadab ? He is a ordinary paki who was trained to attack on india. Fact is thos country is alive on indian hate, every common paki hate india and thats the fact.
Do not go by paki artists who come here to earn.

It because of this our softness we alreadt created lot of issues.
Be a true indian do not chant peace, do you want peace with such a huge price ?

Ravi Kumar Thaksen.. U got my point wrong there.... Kiran... i didnt mean that way .....may be i put it in wrong words... i completely agree what ur saying my point was not that marathi manoos slacky in work my other wise we wouldnt have great people like savarkar , tilak , PL deshpandey...and a lot more then them.......My point was that these people get jobs and people prefer them cause they work harder than us and that to they are ready to work anywhere and in any profession...they really work hard towards their future .....why we mahrashtrians will need other state people if they will work equally hard and with same amount of dedication.... Mahrashtra has largest population in India....even if neglect other state population in just count marathi people we will still have greater numbers than any other state...agreed?....so y other people are getting those jobs......i accept there is corruption in goverment jobs people pay and get seats......but how much thats counts when u compare all the industries not even 10% then what about other 90%....why are biharis and up people are working in constructions and crafts business .........dont u think there is something lacking in us that keeps away from jobs which are in mahrashtra......no body wants u to work 24*7......but even if just want to work hard for our future that wont be a problem isnt it......one more thing may be i am wrong marathi people are bit proud just because there ancestors put their last breath in indian independence...thats ok anyone will be....but they bring this pride everywhere.....in marathi we have lots of "ME PANA".......But i guess thats the case with every indian .....i guess u will get my point this time....i just wanted to point out why other people are getting jobs , why people from other state are getting job ?......corruption cant happen everytime....looking at our population......an exercise for you ....just go and look for skilled carpentars in your are sofa makers, beds and all furniture.......u will definately find more north indians than maharashtrian... not because they stole the jobs its because they are more skilled......even if the business owner is marathi the handyman will be north indian......tell who will prefer unskilled worker over skilled..........?..............Shri. Shivaji maharaj started ek rashtra moment ... that means on india....that was his moto.....then y we forgot that.......when you say you are 96K maratha... dont you have to finish the work HE started...... i guess we all are forgeting what actually shivaji maharaj wanted......if u have any other doubts in my comments plz ask may be i am wrong and again sorry if ihave offended anyone in my comments . My comments are not based on offending every one thanks Jai Hind.........

But i dont like your view on Marathi manoos
At work place Working hard working all the year does not mean you are Hardworker
Work dedicately in office hour that important
No company will allow you to work 10 -15 -20 days in month
Everyone has familiy
So company owner should not think worker will work for 24*7*365

King Khan
King Khan Its very dreadful to call Bal a patriot? He's main agenda is to find some silly reason to say that Indian Muslims are not patriotic enough. Why just corner ShahRukh for his statement that sports should be free of politics? Even, our home minister Chidambaram shared the same views. He was never called a traitor by Bal. Whats wrong in saying that players should be chosen in the IPL irrespective of their nationality? Moreover, every Pakistani is not a terrorist in the same way that every Goan is not a rapist. Bal is a shame on our great country and such people have no soul.

Klk Davendu
Klk Davendu Manndar I must congratulate you for raising the issue and conveying the message across all youths who read this regularly. Most of the people are under impression that SS and MNS are against nation and its a separatist movement etc. Clearly they are under impression of poor Hindi news channels who colour every news against Marathis and Maharashtra in general. Let me tell them clearly that its not the issue that you guys are thinking about nor will Maharashtrians so fickle in thoughts to think about separation from the country. The real issue is 'UNCONTROLLED MIGRATION' that is happening in the country and is a real, practical problem which no body wants to understand and governments are light years behind in this kind of thinking, Since last 50 years Maharashtra and Marathis have been welcoming out siders and have provided them food and shelter considering it as a duty of a brother towards the other. But every thing has a limit, no body can bear more load than the number of resources one has. Maharashtrain cities are really getting crowded day-by-day.. Migrated people have a primary thing to do and that to get mixed with the locals. Learn the language and dissolve in the culture i.e. not to show any separate existance. If anybody is so proud of his/her culture that s/he doesn't want to leave it, then please stay in the region where you come from.



I have heard some people claiming that Mumbai is developed because of outsiders. This neither has meaning in practice nor is that true in any sense. Yes, I agree that outsiders have given the contribution, but think about those people who showed "ACCEPTABILITY" towards outsiders when they wanted to come in the state and earn for living. No other and I repeat No other state has showed this brotherly behaviour and thats why they are underdeveloped or undeveloped to date. Marathis maintained law and order in the state and had elected their government which decided the policies to industrialise the state and hence generate the revenue for the country. Why couldn't even single other state able to do this? Karnataka and Gujarat are catching up (crossing is far away, remember this.. For crossing you need that social environment). It was Marathis and their govt. who were ahead in thinking and hence Mumbai grew to become economic capital of the country, The one who denies this, I ask him a single question.. Why didn't Kolkata OR Chennai develop in last 60 years to this level? So the point is main credit goes to locals who patiently developed the state capital to be an economic capital for the country. Remember that Mumbai is not because of you, you come to Mambai because of its glory and money..



Now, over the years the leaders of outsiders have started claiming that 'we' developed the city.. Reallly then why couldn't they develop such city in their own state. Its attitude that develops the state and not the labor force. Mumbai belongs to Marathis as India belongs to Indians... Instead of blaming Marathis for all this, think about their devotion and trouble they have taken so far to reach this stage. Marathis may not be owning many businesses (which also isn't very true, but anyway) in Mumbai, but the city was nurtured on their blood and sweat. Marathis have lost their lands for the city to grow and develop.. I am sure no body can deny this. Don't claim that the city is ours etc. etc. All SS and MNS are saying is that it belongs to Marathis (meaning locals) first and then to the Indians. If you apply the same law to other Indian cities, the stand remains the same.



Nobody denies you the admission in already overcrowded city but think before you come and claim... Rather than blaming MH guys, show your anger to the useless leaders of N.India who haven't developed the states for the last 60 years.. and you people still support that..



Lastly, please make opinions based on your own study than believing Hindi channels.. Try developing other states, otherwise and remember this, the same condition is going to arise in Gujarat and Karnataka ( in Kar it has already started ) MH is ahead in time in India in this sense also.. It will follow in the next developing states also if we don't give proper attention to it.

Prashant Srivastav.. Do you think that in all the cities in other indian states, only the sons of the soil live ? I am from a very small city in U.P. even there we have a huge colony having Punjabis and Sindhis, we have muslims, In my convent school 20% teachers were from South. In the most famous hospital there 20% nures are from South. we had few people from Maharashtra as well.

We celebrate Lohri, Diwali, Eid and Christmas with the same spirit till today.

We never say that Punjabis go to Punjab, Sindhis and Muslims go to Pakistan, South Indians go to South and we never will. We never say you are taking our jobs and businesses. They work, hard and earn. So as every Indian should do no matter whereever he/she is in.

This is the thing that makes India unique and Integrated. Unity in Diversity.

And if you think U.P is so underdeveloped, just go to Noida or Lucknow once or just visit these links if you can't. ye apni jagah par baithe baithe poore India ko underdeveloped mat kaho. There's nothing except bollywood and sea that you won't get in Lucknow and Noida..

Manish Bhansali He is most ridiculous and most unpatriotic person I can imagine who thinks he speaks for all indians and we are so stupid and uneducated that we can not make our own decision. If we do not approve Pak player in the team, we will not watch the match or support that team. He EVEN HAS GUTS TO SAY MUMBAI IS ONLY FOR "MARATHI". Is he even indian or he is running some separatist movement which wants Mumbai to be separate country? I see his as most desperate, very divisive (opposite to what Lokmanya Tilak try to do with Ganesh Puja) and illiterate person who is getting other illiterates to follow him and do equally stupid stuff. I hope he retires soon. He is old and loosing it.

Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi sorry , friends.. your Rahul is here...pls read article in Down news paper in pakistan about my amchi mumbai... then talk

http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn -content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/colu mnists/12-dont-want-to-fight-fascism-cli mb-into-a-commuter-train-820--bi-03





Last week in Mumbai, Congress scion Rahul Gandhi met a group of students to share his frustration with India’s politicians. “I am here because I don’t like what our political system looks like,” he declared. Fine sentiments. The students applauded him heartily.





Then he did what most politicians he detests love to do. He indulged in crass tokenism. The media, true to its form, applauded him as a hero.







They gave colourful headlines to stories of how Rahul Gandhi had boarded a commuter train after joining a meandering queue to buy a first class ticket – instead of asking his security guards to get it – from somewhere to somewhere in the city while fascist hordes of the Shiv Sena failed to derail him.



Thus, Rahul Gandhi’s spin doctors would have us believe, he successfully thumbed his nose at the Sena supremo Bal Thackeray.







The Sena had opposed his visit to the city for holding the view that Mumbai belonged to all Indians, including migrants from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Gandhi’s Congress is struggling to find its feet in both the electorally crucial states, which explains part of the discussion.







Film actor Shahrukh Khan said more or less the same thing about Mumbai belonging to all Indians. He too became a hero of everyone, or almost. Amitabh Bachchan continued to sing paeans to Thackeray as he does of everyone who gives his movies a tax break.



Surprisingly, Sahmat, a vocal leftist group that acts as a cultural filter for politically correct art, put out a gushing press release in support of Shahrukh Khan. But now Shahrukh Khan, in a political somersault dictated by commercial exigencies, is going to meet Bal Thackeray to seek his blessings. He needs them so that his just released movie can have a smooth screening.







There would be many red faces among his leftist fans. Meanwhile, the BJP, an ally of the Shiv Sena, chimed in to also slam its partner. It supports pan-India fascism in the footsteps of the BJP’s parent body, the RSS, not the provincial kind practised by Bal Thackeray.







Targeting non-Marathi speaking migrants and older residents in Mumbai is small beer for the BJP, and potentially counter-productive.



The first stone against the Shiv Sena was, however, cast by Mukesh Ambani, the tycoon credited with shoring up most of the main parties, including the Sena.







It was only after his televised remarks during a trip to London, saying that Mumbai was for all Indians that others felt confident enough to growl back at Thackeray, whose mascot is a snarling tiger. The Sena as we all know has lorded over the country’s financial hub since Gandhi’s Congress party, on behalf of the city’s business elite, set it up in 1966 to physically assault and break up communist trade unions.







Therefore, an adverse comment from the leading industrialist berating the Shiv Sena’s platform could be the most significant pointer to changing political architecture in Maharashtra. The change will find an echo in the rest of the country.



As we can see there are many shades of grey in the standoff with Shiv Sena, in the sense that no one is prepared to see it as a rightwing fascist organisation, which in theory and practice it is.







The reason for Mukesh Ambani’s aloofness from Thackeray probably signals the end of the corporate patronage the Sena enjoyed in Maharashtra. One of the reasons for this change of heart can be located in an unflattering reality. Thackeray is not perceived as a team player in the comity of fascists.







He has a running rivalry with Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, for example. And Modi is the cynosure of the corporate world, and he has proved his worth by both advocating neo-liberal economic policies and in also eradicating Gujarat’s notorious labour troubles by dividing the working class into Hindus and Muslims.







The BJP and the business lobbies of Mumbai are seeing him as a potential prime ministerial candidate. Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan too have given Modi a clean chit on his supervision of the 2002 pogroms of Muslim.



That leaves Rahul Gandhi standing alone as someone who appears to oppose Thackeray as well as the BJP. The left is too small a player in the field and is in any case engaged with its own priorities – that of taking on the Maoist threat. But Gandhi doesn’t see the two groups as one should fear groups that promote religious fascism in India.







In any case, before blaming others he would first have to take stock of his own party, the Congress, for the weeds of bigotry to be rooted out. Is it a coincidence that it was during his father’s early rule that the worst kind of religious massacres were unleashed on the Sikhs?







Was it not a fact that the worst anti-Muslim pogroms in Mumbai were staged under the supervision of not the Shiv Sena or the BJP, but during his Congress party’s tenure in power in Maharashtra in 1992-93?



There’s no great lesson or even symbolism in Rahul Gandhi’s using a commuter train to flaunt his credentials as the young man who finally took on Bal Thackeray.







All that he has shown is that if the state so desires, it can tame the most intractable fascist. He has not taken on Bal Thackeray, for to do that he would need to address the murky reality of religious and ethnic bigotry visiting the Congress party in Maharashtra and elsewhere. Could it be this kind of politics he said he doesn’t think much of?







In which case, it’s all the more reason for him to leave superficial gestures aside and get down to the nitty-gritty of rolling back the agenda, both of the Shiv Sena and the RSS-BJP combine, and of the corporate czars who support communally divisive politics to keep ordinary Indians from forming a secular coalition against them.



To begin with, Rahul Gandhi may want to pick up the Justice B.N. Srikrishna Commission report which was initiated by his own party to probe the 1992-93 communal frenzy in Mumbai and then discarded by it. In fact, he might want to compare its fate to several other similar reports that preceded the Srikrishna Commission.



“Even after it became apparent that the leaders of the Shiv Sena were active in stoking the fire of the communal riots, the police dragged their feet on the facile and exaggerated assumption that if such leaders were arrested the communal situation would further flare up, or to put it in the words of then (Congress) Chief Minister, Sudhakarrao Naik, ‘Bombay would burn’; not that Bombay did not otherwise.” That report.







That’s what he needs to read and implement. Not wave out to his fawning fans club from a Mumbai local. Due diligence with burning issues will go a long way in making an agreeable leader out of a tentative, obviously confused and probably poorly-advised Congress icon. The commuter train will take him nowhere.

Liaquat Khan One can easily understand the Pakistani perspective -a country where just or unjust movements are suppressed through the barrel of a gun. The Indian politics on the other hand is deeply influenced by the non-violent methods preached and practised by Mahatma Gandhi. Of course there are deviations from the Gandhian philosophy from time to time but over all the spirit of non-violence prevails. Rahul, therefore taking a commuter train in the face of mass scale protests by Sena activists was an appropriate response to the situation in Gandhian style.

Jack Adams
Jack Adams Respect is something earned not terrorized into. When Bal T. earns the right to a title saheb, I am sure people will call him so. Mumbai is not someone's personal property, the number of folks who have given greatness is beyond a small mind's comprehension. By playing and hiding behind a newspaper and terrorising folks is not going to gain Mumbai anyway other than slowly marginilize all maharastrians who live outside Mumbai. He needs to muzzle himself and ensure that he uses his energy in betterment of the mumbikars but that has never been a sainik's agenda.

The day he starts thinking beyond his personal agenda is the day a lot of people actually offer him any respect. He is a trouble monger and nothing more and nothing less.

Indian First I just will never understand how people with a decent education can run around .. a person like balasaheb -- saying bolasaheb .. jitka bolu shakta titke bola .. amhi aiknar .. that actually was for all the marathi manoos out there. Maharashtra was not made for marathi's it was not even maharashtra .. people like Shivaji maharaj came together to make it so and as far as i remember and know .. i never heard shivaji maharaj say , no one except marathi's can live in maharashtra.

He couldn't say that coz he knew better. when the freedom struggle was going on gandhiji did not say well since maharashtra is for maharshtrians lets not get it free .. but now that we have the freedom some morons ( pardon my language but there isn't any better word for people like the blog writer ) want to divide it. So let me get this straight.-- you think mumbai is what it is because of marathi manoos only .. no doubt a lot of marathi manse did a hell lot .. but then if that was so ,, then freaking every town that has only marathi people should be prosperous.

But it is not .. people from all over india have come together to build our country and cities. When someone for vote bank politics comes along and tries to kindle the fire of seperatism, so many jump on the band wagon because they have not succeeded in life and think that other people are the one's to be blamed.

The people who come to mumbai are from everywhere and that does not matter coz it is a part of india. if you don't want to be a part of india then go cry for a separate country. but don't try to divide the country. what is the difference between terrorist elements and other forces that are trying to split the country. Some do it in the name of religion and some on the name of state. but at the end of the day it results to the same thing. At the least the terrorists are saying that they are doing it to harm us. atleast we all know the enemy , when these so call shiv sainiks and similar hooligans do it ., they are saying it is for the greater good and some how the naive people follow them blindly becoming a part of the hidden terrorists . they are spreading terror in some way or the other.

what ever happened to live and let live. In one's country everyone is equal, you should strive to make that true if you think that is not what it is in all parts of the country. if you think in some parts of the country they are doing regional politics, try to change that not do the same thing yourself. If someone is jumping off the cliff -- try to stop - them reason with them , don't go to another cliff and jump as they did .



wake up and smell the roses as the day goes by more and more people will shun these regional politics and improve their own lives and that of the country and you will be stuck in a hole saying mumbai - marathi manoos. -- Mumabikar are all people who think mumbai as their home. mumbaikar is no accronym for marathi manoos ..



peace

Sada Punekar I agree to most of your reply but what sandeep gupta like idiots are saying about shivaji as well that makes people like him dimwit.

Partly shiv sena is responsible for such view. these idiots hate shiv sena but they should understand and recognize history..

Liaquat Khan
Liaquat Khan Firstly, my sincere advice to my Muslim brethren: Neither is Balasaheb as communal minded as he projects himself to be nor are many Congress leaders as secular as they pretend. This is just Vote Bank politics. Under this political ideology, the politician does not try to educate people, but he/she only exploits their sentiments (right or wrong) to his/her advantage. Therefore whatever Balasaheb says or does is meant to consolidate his Vote Bank. He may not always mean what he says. Let's not forget the short marriage between the Sena and Muslim League to capture the Mumbai Corporation sometime in 70's or 80's. He has no personal animosity towards Dilip Kumar or SRK and there has occasionally been some great bonhomie between them.

To my Mahrashtrian brethren I would say the kind of politics which Balasaheb preaches is not healthy for the country and not in the least for Maharashtra itself. These methods which create insecurity and divide people also lead to flight of capital and businesses, thereby negatively impacting the economy and jobs. Why are countries like Canada, New Zealand, Australia (I mean Governments) inviting people from all over the world to come and live in their countries - just because it helps their economy. The affluence of Mumbai is because of its cosmopolitan culture and not vice versa. Now if living conditions are affected because of migration of poor labour from north then it is the responsibility of the state to take steps to resolve this issue and there are better ways to raise these issues politically without tearing apart the Indian fabric.

Satyabrata Dash You should watch the "Shourya" my friend. It's a very thin line that differentiates patriotism and hatred against any community. Remember - the opposite of the emotion "Love" is not "Hatred", but it is "Fear". The nation would obviously like to know what BALASAHEB is afraid of!

Milind Desai
Milind Desai Hey Manndar Narvekar well said its time people in here realise of whom they are talking abt.

when it comes to Chennai, Kolkotta, Bangalore, Hyderabad even in these cities outsiders work but they never stake thier rights on these cities but when it comes to Mumbai everyone is after it as Udhav Thackerey said they Use Mumbai as ATM and nothing else.

and when it comes to Rahul Gandhi he should open a reality Tv show showing his stays in rural villages and make money infact that wats congress does

people don't realise for the development of a country there should be a change in its governments too since there is no changes for decades congress has used this country for their own benefits

when we defeated pakistan in war Congress gave thier land but never took half J&K that we lost bcoz of congress

wat congress has doen for last 60 years they hve played the same politics as east India company played in India before Independence divide and rule made sure people get divided in the name of caste, religion for these they provided reservations

They couldn't provide reservations for those millions of hungry people but made sure they provided reservations for minority for the votes.

as for SRK u got a team make sure u promote Indians then Pakistanis we respect people coming in our Country but not pakis and SRK can U make even one pakis cricketer says to paki govt. to stop terrorism in India if u can then u can ask pakis to play for u and if u can't then plssssss SHUT UP

People need to awaken and realise it soon or its going to be late

Prasun Jain
Prasun Jain i think our freedom fighters just puked all over tht bala or baal or wtever. this guy balasheb is doin exactly the same thin wt britishers did when they came to india.this guy understands tht if we r divided its easier to rule

he is a pathetic looser and a coward

can this guy do anything for whole of india. i don think he has even the guts to step out of maharashtra

a leader who cant see our great nation as a unision of different cultures cast and creeds then he just dont deserve to be a leader this goes for all the other leaders of his type especially tht MNS leader raj thakrey these people hv just made it their business to seperate maharasthra frm india and its sad tht we leterate people of india r letting them do tht its just really sad



and if u ask wt we can do abt it then the answer is stop askin and do something urself
on Tue, 09 Feb, 2010
Prasun Jain i don need to read abt anythin i hv read enough history of india and itd people and all i can sum up is every time we r devided a revolution to unite comes forward and this guy balasaheb will go down no matter wt
its just a matter of time we leterate people will open our eyes to a wider view of our nation
all i wanna say is stop dividing
if balasaheb is so great then y does he nt speak for all of us indians and y only keep himself to maharashtra
i would love it if he could expand his horizons and work for india as enthusiastically as he works for marashtra
we can use this but only if he accepts us as one
im from up living in punjab but this dosent change the fact tht im first an indian
u can defend him as much as u want but the truth will always be tht he is selfish for his own state and thts nt a leader we indians want
on Wed, 10 Feb, 2010
Milind Desai Prasun Jain if u want to know Balasaheb then read abt him properly or ask any middle class marathi manoos abt him if had not been for Raj thackerey deserting him then in these assembly elections the whole of Mumbai had been sweeped by Shivsenaand for ur knowledge go and check the votes earned by Shivsena and MNS they together got more Votes then Congress

Anand R Upadhyay
Anand R Upadhyay Power comes with huge responsibility. To agree with you Balasaheb Thackrey is no ordinary man & he has all the capacity & ability to be a LEADER. Through out his life he has been a Leader who stood for everything right or wrong. He has been true to himself. He should be respected & is respected all together.



But war of words wont lead anywhere my friend. You must understand he is in state of denial that Chunk of his follower is taken away by none other than his own RAJ Thackrey.



Secondly Rahul’s visit was political that even a blind can say but his symbolic visit & the way he visited dented further already fragile Shiv Sena.



Shiv Sena is fighting for their existence in Mumbai/Maharashtra & to take up wrong issue & create trouble is a wrong Move on their part. They are seemingly looking like tailing Raj Thackrey issue by issue. Any party cannot exist fighting for the same issue.



Now coming back to your points.



My personal suggestions to you, don’t blame shivsena everytime.... Shiv Sena acts in such way wherein even if we don’t want to but blame them for wrong things.



I heard some peoples saying Balasaheb has IQ of 8 yrs -if he is having an IQ of 8 years of child, i think you are not born yet. - Balasaheb is not at all vocal & I am 110% assured its not him who is making policies these days. He is not that stupid dear.



some ppls think he hate everybody, pl check list of his friends & wel-wishers (many of them are Muslims & other religion)- Me a UP’ite respect him a lot more than a maharashtrian would be But he should be careful when his comments result in divisive politics



ome ppls think SRK is right & he can select Pakistani players for his team, The stand of BALASAHEB is far better than any (How can a people like you can forget the all terrorist attacks so easily) – SRK is wrong & the stand is Correct but to protest by pelting stones & stopping his movie is not fair. Let the ppl decide whether they agree on or disagree on. If arresting Shiv Sainiks for protest is wrong coz it was peaceful protest so what have you got to say about violent protest which happened a day before. Moreover SRK is an actor & is not a Party. He has a family & their family life would be distrubed (his children surely would be horrified with the protests happening & that too when is not in town he was in UK)



Some people aksed a question, what shivsena & BALASAHEB is doing while terrorist attacks of 26/11. I want to ask, what sonia gandhi, your rahul gandhi, manmohan singh is doing at the same time? Some congress ministers lost their ministry because of their careless attitude during these attacks. I want to bring to your notice what shivsainik had done. The Shakhapramukh of the area where nariman house located, stopped terrorist with his shivsainik by throwing stones from escaping. The cheif of NSG commando send a letter to say thanks to this Shakhapramukh from Delhi for their bravery & smartness - Appreciate all the good work which happens in this course of time. When it comes to NATION I guess every body should stand for INDIA



You think that he is standing againt of all outsiders of country everytime but remember my friend In 1982, when Indira Gandhi was killed by her own security guards, whole country went against the sikhs community. Many of congress workers killed sikhs in Dehi & other parts of country. Only in Mumbai & maharashtra the sikhs community lived peacefully at that time, only because of SHIVSENA & "BALASAHEB" . My dear friend, this is not said by us. These are words of Mr. Gyani Zailsingh(our former President) – Then what has changed in Balasaheb Now?? Its politics of chasing his own Raj which is making him do such Blunder. He should Stand for RIGHTS of all the people.



now the issue of MARATHI Manoos & language, Only & Only "BALASAHEB" have a right to say about it, think about it & take a any actions about the same. Why you need Bal Thackrey or Raj Thackrey to opine for you? You don’t have any viewpoint?



Another thing is ppls underestimating shivsena after Mr. Rahuls visit to india , but I feel it’s a mistake in our system , they don’t know where to spend money, ( I feel you better know spending and wasting money diff) , this is really disgusting thing to hold his (anyones) shoes. Now that’s arguable Maybe its wrong to lift Shoes, also the kind of security & also a Chief Minister, Home minister all waiting for Gen Sec. of a political party, the protocols are questionable. But as I said the visit marks symbollic muscle power of Congress over it. I am not against Shiv Sena but Raj Thackrey is sowing seeds of hatred all the way & that needs to be stopped. See how smart is he that he didn’t speak even a word about it



Pl check, How many people are earning, living, working & getting education bacause of Shivsena. – Now don’t teach all of this that everyone surviving in Mumbai because of Shiv Sena. Please do not make them GOD there are mere POLITICIANS & no one is feeding anybody than themselves. They are on street coz they have EGO Clash not for u buddy.

Shahzad Ali Dear Anand,

I think you really need help from a shrink to agree with Mr Thackrey. His frustration in loosing the general as well as state elections is showing on his statements and actions.

I think the Shiv sainiks should look for alternate careers as the party will not survive by the next election.

As for Rahul Gandhi and SRK, they are real MEN. They are not sitting behind the hooligans and make statements. What Rahul Gandhi did was to show the Sena its true worth.

Rajesh Sawant
Rajesh Sawant As marathi manoos, I support your views mr.mandar. Yes mumbai belong to marathi manoos.because many marathi people laid their life for mumbai. Yes, I am indian first and mumbaikar afterward. As punjab haryana chenai up bengal belong to peoples living their since year and years thus mumbai belng to maharashtra and marathi manoos. Balasaheb and raj thakre are voice of marathi and sons of soil in maharashtra. 400 to 500 families coming to mumbai everyday and mumbai's capacity of intake has came to an end.If tamil in people chenai are proud of their language and culture, bengalis in calcutta are proud of their culture why not marathi manoos should be proud of marathi language and its culture.How can u call balasaheb and raj thakre ani indian ? have u ever call lalu prasad mr.farooq abdula and jaylalita mamta banerji call anti indain when they speak in favour of peoples in their respective states?

Languages has been the based of division of states in india and who comes to mumbai to earn his bread should respect mumbai's culture.I love every part of india but that doesn't mean I should go any place in india and abuse people staying their.I dont understand why governments in UP, Bihar not creating jobs for their people. Its failure of these state govt. I m sure when need arise to stand for sake of country balasaheb will be the first.Jay hind Jay maharastra.

Billa Mama Hi Mandar, u have perfectly note down in ur column what all true Mumbaikar fill.

Three cheers for ur blog. Even I feel we should call them as ”Balasheb Thakare” and not Bal Thakare.

Just to bring the attention of many people who mentioned that attack of 26/11 was stopped by NSG commando came from UP and Bihar, what Mumbaikar have done for that. My all dear friend operation “BLUE STAR” was conducted as per instruction from Ex-President Indira Gandhi by General Arun kumar Vaidya (Who was also Marathi manus from Pune), but that time he represent India and not Mumbai or Maharashtra. Please keep in mind most of the Police man (Karkare/Kamate etc…) or common people died in 26/11 were Mumbaikar

Larry Dalmeida
Larry Dalmeida The Shiv Sena were a blessing to Maharashtra just as Julius Ceasar was to Rome. History teaches an important lesson. Power Blinds, Deafens, Corrupts. Balasaheb just like Ceasar has become a tyrant. Balasaheb was a title he deserved but he no longer deserves it now. Doing a good deed does not give Shiv Sena the right to abuse another person. U need to remember that its not 'we all marathi people' but its we all INDIANS who were affected by the mumbai attacks. But we weren't attacked by Pakistani citizens. We were attacked by some kids who were all lied to. Last year 3000 Pakistani citizens were murdered by these terrorists. The fight is not against the people of Pakistan. We are at war with some bad elements in their country. Cricketers have nothing to do with this. Its more than just a sport to us Indians. Its a religion. Do not allow it to be desecrated with dirty politics. We are Indians and its not our culture to kill innocent civillians who will be victims of a war that will be started by racist acts like these. We have to find a diplomatic solution and cooperate with Pak to find the sonsof******s who planned 26/11.



U, Mr. Narvekar need to see the bigger picture here. We have to stop pointing fingers at the mistakes of rival parties correct our flaws. Bal has the right to think what he wants and have his own opinion. But he certainly does not have the right to incite racism and violence against other Indians. If he has a problem he has to approach the authorities and find a peaceful solution to the job crisis etc in Mumbai.



Lastly, I personally like the name Mumbai, it compliments the culture of the city, but calling it Bombay isn't treason so i think Bal should stop talking, get off his arm chair and listen to the voice of responsible Indians for a change!

second yes you are correct shiv sainiks helped sikhs in 1984 but why are they blaiming whole pakistan for the terror attacks?

if they have a sena why dont they put sena to protect india or lets say there den mumbai? what these sainiks do?only disrupt life when bala wants to come in news?

90 percent of the time when bala thackrey is in news, its because of some destructive work, like stopping mumbai trains, someone caleld mumbai bombday(he always call Dilli as Delhi) people like bala saheb and shiv sainiks are gundas who do not work, no personal life, makes money from politics, gundagardi. and people like you help them .

Sach Ka Samna
Sach Ka Samna Well said. I am no big fan of Thackerays but he raises important issues. I dont think Bombay is right word as it signifies colonial suppression and exploitation of Indians. Mumbai word signifies indeginous name meaning Mother Mumba. It is important to respect Marathi culture as their ancestors worked hard to make Maharashtra better state. This is the reason everyone of us want to live in this peaceful and prospering state. Just to insult Thackerays, people should not target marathi sentiments. Whats so hard learning marathi language if one is staying there for majority of life. Isn't Marathi one of Indian language? Why should Marathi people have to learn other language to communicate others in their own state? Would people travelling UK or US speak their mother tongues or English? You will take efforts to speak English. Balasaheb Thackeray is an elderly person and must be respected in same way. You cannot expect him to change and be like Rahul Gandhi at this age. He worked for Maharashtra in his days and will be sensitive to Marathi culture. Many of you who are using disrespectful words are just showing your upbringing and culture, sort of things which are not true to Indian values. Old man has lived his whole life there obiviously he will be sentimental and want to preserve his culture.

Prashant Srivastav.. I am a north Indian , living in Maharashtra, I respect Marathi people and the state. Some of my closest friends are Maharashtrians. It's always better to know the local language and I am trying to. But no one can force me to do so. It's for my convenience and it's my choice. Tomorrow if I go to Punjab, I'd try to learn Punjabi, but the same way no one can and should force me.

I had worked in Hyderabad with some of the Maharshtrians, they never tried to learn Telugu ? why so?
Shouldn't the Andhra people have forced them to learn ? How would have they felt then ?

Can't you go to Germany without knowing German and France without knowing French. It's always better if you know. But it's not a one day affair....I hope you got my point here buddy.
One great lil fact : Respect is always earned, never forced.

If you always spill venom against any non-Maharashtrian then then why would they respect you.

Sach Ka Samna Be Indian -

You can just get defensive, which is fair enough as you got inferiority complex.. I never said North Indians or any Indian should not come to Mumbai or they dont work hard. Question was respecting Marathi culture and values, beacuse of which Maharashtra is so developed and prospering for everyone to come and live peacefully. People get attracted to Maharashtra, beacuse they feel safe and warmth from local culture. Just dont make it Bihar UP here. Your other question that Mumbai is only place in Maharashtra that is developed. Wrong ! Pune is other city which is very developed, there are other cities as well which are doing better.
Maharashtra is developed state because Marathis did't leave its states in masses to other states or countries. You go abroad, you'll not fifind many marathis aboard but gujjus, tamils, UP., Biharis are all over the place expect in thier states. There are so many North Indians try to migrate that UK had to shut down visa for you guys. Why dont you argue with them? Atleast marathi manoos is tolerant and onl asking to respect his culture.,

Be Indian Hello Sach ka samana,

Badi badi baat mat kar, Mumbai is developed because of all the indians including Maharashtrians too, But you can not take all credit. Mumbai is developed because it have location adavntage like other cities in world have e.g NY,london etc..that why there is no other city in maharashtra is as developed as Mumbai.......not even near to mumbai..........why you ppl not making many mumbai in maharashtra. The reason is it can not be done bcoz it has geographycal advantages which can not be created... If you think only Marathi ppl have developed that and only Marathi ppl are capable then why other ppl getting jobs in loads of sector when there is cut-throat competetion....Let me tell you no one asked and no one helped ppl from all around india to come and take the job they did it simply because of their hard work and talent.... let me tell you Marathi ppl who are sitting on Top positions they are bcoz of their hardwork not because they are marathi and so are others....and its everyones right.
If all the marathi ppl are so capable then why they are not grabbing jobs through fair competetion why they need 80% reservation....Mumai is famous all ovewr world bcoz its cosmo city...any city driven by single community have not made progress as much as cosmo city for e.g Take Mumbai Police where all are Marathi and it is Most corrupt department from Last 10 yrs Anti- Corruption buero Report..... for your kind information if Mr. bal is so fond of Marathi then why his all children studied in Bombay-Scottish School.....why not in BMC - Marathi Medium......these politicians are just make fool of General public.....and ppl like you think they are god.........You know in UK and US why ppl speak English, bcoz no one forced ppl,,,, they talk by them self.... when you say these ppl are Saving your Marathi culture.....then let me tell you marathi culture exist from very long time when there was no bal thakary and no shiv sena.........and Culture is not so small thing that it requires useless ppl like him to save it.....if ppl can honestly follow the culture then that enough................. thanks.

Sach Ka Samna Nobody is saying don't buy property and Maharashtra doesn't belong to India, even Thackeray doesn;t imply that. People like you are twisting words to suit your means. If you are so enthusiastic why not stay in and progress your state or any other developing state? Why crowd one place? Why be so possesive with Mumbai? Question raised by Thackeray is that Marathi culture be respected and preserved when other politicians are demanding of breaking Maharashtra and Mumbai into smaller parts. Maharashtra is an example and progressed because of it values and culture, so why there is so much no no in learning this culture. Why just kill something provides you opportunity? Why claim that Mumbai belongs to all India instead of saying Marathis belong to India? If you wanted Bihar or UP in Maharashtra, then why leave it in first place?When in Romne , be Roman.

India Comes First Why the hell then you guys call it India call "Bharat", as it signifies colonial suppression and exploitation of Indians. Isn't it ?
on Tue, 09 Feb, 2010
Sam K what do you mean by own state? who owns maharashtra? its indian property. yes mostly maharastrians live in mahrashtra but that doesnt make its their property. Its still for all indians. We can go there , live there , stay there and enjoy our life asmarathis can enjoy in other part of country. Dont try to divide india if marathis stay in maharashtra or biharis stay in bihar. Even a delhite can buy a property in mumbai by his hard earned money and can enjoy living in mumbai without having a burden of learning speaking marathi.
Bal Thackrey must have done some good deeds and that is why he is so famous but again he can not own a city or a state because he is a good leader.

Geethanjali Vignesh
Geethanjali Vignes.. I'm not a Maharastrian, but I truely agree wid the sentiments involved in Maharastrian's claim for Mumbai. The Mumbai city is not developed for others from all parts of the country make their own colony. The states were divided based on the language & in all sense, Mumbai being the capital of Maharastra, Marathi shud be the official language. but sadly, we can hardly find anyone talking in Marathi. Whoever claiming that Mumbai is for all Indians, wil they accept similar situation in their states or back home? In Mumbai, M'rian & their culture is cornered. If anyone wants to migrate, the best way I feel is to accept the language / culture of the place, then there wont be any fights for language. I hope all migrants of Mumbai understands the basic need for calling themselves as Mumbaikars.

Niteen Borge Hindi is not our national language. This sentence is given by Gujrat High Court, and was accepted by Supreme court.
I think Sam just read news paper about Balasaheb and Marathi people only..
You first need to read news papers, and I dont expect reading history from you..
on Wed, 10 Feb, 2010
Tushar Salve bdw, hindi is not our national f***** language....if you know the history about electing the national language you will come to know...India needs to get devided like schengen states in Europe so that these congress m*f**** will no more rule according to their convenience.

Prabhat Arora
Prabhat Arora Go and lick Bala's ass. No-forward looking Marathi Manoos tows the same ideology as Bal and Raj.



Bombay (yes Bombay) is not what it is because of Bal. Thackrey's themselves are migrant to this city. They are just talking this non-sense to get support of illiterate Marathi people (count yourself in).
on Mon, 08 Feb, 2010
Ppb Sub You uncivilised, uneducated Bhaiya.. Yes Bhaiya , first you talk about your UP and BIHAr where the biggest displacement of HUman being is happening for past 50 years.
Where Bhaiyas like you migrate to other developed states for Roji, Roti stay there and instead of talking about their own undeveloped place they talk about Maharastra.

Haramkhor, this maharastra given shelter to millions of dogs like you and today you are hurting the same peoples .
Shame on you it is peoples like you who proves that stand bysena is correct only.
First you the history of you own state where 50% peoples do not have even a food to eat.
By the way my brother is doctor and worked in Biahr during kosy river flood and he telss the horror story.

He loterally used to cry seeing the inhimane condition of Bihari peopels.
First go back and learn the history of your own state and then talk about Maharstra.
Jai Hind, Jai Maharshtra

Sanjay Awasthi MR XYZ U SEEm to all praise to mr thakre , i hv no objection to that its ur personal sentiment /feeling respect whatever,you r free n for that matter everyone is . i do not want to go into the history but the present move by mr thakrey seems to hv been born bout of frustration and in this act he is no longer acting different grom oter thakre . i can understand their frustration they are politicians they thrive on devision but i miserably fail to understand what make a person of average inteeligence follow such leaders who sing a song of devision is maharashtra not a part of india r these people acting differently from mr jinnah he took upon himself the cause of muslims n became their champion ultimately it resulted in the partition of the country , what moral he has to oppose muslims when he himself is following his line behaving like him . has the nationality lost its importance that it can be compromised for the power .

Rajdeep Saikia
Rajdeep Saikia No matter what you may say about Bal Thakerey, It is high time that he realize that his type of fanaticism is not going to work any more. By trying to play the Marathi card Thakerey is showing his narrow mindedness to the world. No wonder "Jai Maharastra" is the most popular joke in todays world.

Imran Ahmad
Imran Ahmad Bal Thackeray is a terrorist who is terrorising Mumbai residents and his hidden intention is to break maharashtra on the basis of Language. he has defied Indian Constitution and its high time he should be brought to justice for threatening India's integrity into danger.
on Thu, 04 Feb, 2010
Nilesh Gaikwad You are the fool who doesnt understand the difference between terrorist and the good leader. He doesnt have problem with muslims..but the problem with activities.
So better shut up your dirty mouth and stop talking like this
on Wed, 10 Feb, 2010
Ppb Sub Who are you ?
First know the problms of mumbai understand the issue and then talk.
Thakare never opposed APJ ABdul kalam not any patriotic indian.
His stand is based on issues .
A mindless creature like you who might be out of madarasa with only hatred in mind can not understand the ground reallities.

Feroza Cooper with all due respect to all who read this blog

i only have four words for u" live and let live".



every body has a point in their own way to make



what all people do not get is the simple truth that while we bicker and fight among ourselves about things that a person said and where was this neta and the other one ................ pls remember this the world is watching us fight among ourselves the people responsible for this mass terrorism are taking advantage of the fact that our internal situation is what it is today pls learn to rise above it congress + sena +bjp and all other parties and ministers including cm and all should have only one agenda on mind

1 to work towards and through peaceful means and dialogue

2 what is this marathi manus nonsense we are all indians in case u have not read the constitution pls go read it .

3 be prod of the fcat that we in this ecenomy can still support people who come from other states

4 pls let us work towards making mumbai stronger and not weakening the very foundation by talking of who was where during the riots " learn to grow above it "

5 i as a mumbaikar who is not a maharastrian by birth respect mr. balasaheb with all the good that he had started for the community but off late his party and members have driven him to believe in insighting violence and hence him as an individual an prime leader of the party is under scrutiny . .......... i only wish that all this would stop ....................... hasent our mumbai ...................... this land we call home and all who stay in it are prud to be mumvbaikars bled enough ............... in the last 3 to 4 decades



I urge you to use better judgement then to just talk

Thank you for reading

Gilberto Defreitas Phew! I am from Australia and have just gone through the entire blog, from start to finish. It was exiciting really hearing the pros and cons of Maharashtra. This has been true democracy in motion.
May I add a little opinion of my own. I don't think Balasaheb Thakare ever hates anyone. He is just being politically correct when he says what he says. The law of the jungle is part of human intution where each species have its own boundary to protect for the survival of its species. Balsaheb Thakare is just doing that. I think that this elderly gentleman is really a welcoming soul without prejudice to caste and creed. It is just politics of survival that he is indulging in. Keep blogging. It's healthy as it rids the mind and body of distrust and animosity. Best of luck my young Indian friends.
on Wed, 10 Feb, 2010
Shivaji Raje I totally agree with you feroza, just because of some party politics, we should not loose our Indian integrity, that is how we have been bought upand should be together to fight the terrorism aginst our country.
