Atul Deshpande: Hi upendra...
I read ur blog just now and i want to clear some of ur misconceptions.
First of all I would like to tell u that I believe in the ideology of MNS and Mr. Raj Thakre So whatever I am saying is on behalf of MNS and not of Shivsena.

Divide and rule policy-U said that MNS wnts to create the differances between North Indians and Marathi people.But let me tell u that if that would have been the case then Mr. Raj Thakre wouldnt have so many north indian friends like his childhood friends Mr Gupta and many other.

Original norms & values: yeah, u may be correct that no maharashtrians are in favour of violance happening in mumbai.NOT EVEN MR. RAJ THAKRE!!! But u know the fact that sometimes it becomes necessary to use such steps.Let me prove it by some examples..
1)It is a law that the boards on the shops should be written in state language.MNS noticed the fact that this rule was not being followed in Mumbai.So Mr Raj sent a letter to all the shopkeepers of Mumbai that they should kindly change the signboard and should give first preferance to marathi.With that he gave a time limit of 30 days.But some of the shpkeepers tried to oppose this and went even to court but as this was the law by constitution of India, they couldnt win the case.
When he saw that shopkeeprs are not taking this seriously he was left with no other alternative but of violance.So MNS people broke one or two shops,and in 1 week of the time all the shop names were written in Marathi.U can yourself check that.

2)Same was the thing happened with mobile companies.He dispatched the letter to all mobile comanies those were not using state language Marathi as their primary language of conversation.He then dispatched a letter to all companies and gave some time for their technical corrections.They also didnt take it seriously but when one or two glasses of their shops were broken,they started the system within a day.
Now my question is to you Upendra that,if people are not following the rules then what options are left to make them follow the rules.
Now u may say that we set up govenments for these things.But then i will again ask u how the govt. can do it if they haven't done it in 60 years??And Mr.Raj has already stated that if the government starts to do these things then he will shut down his party i.e. Maharashtra Navnirmaan Sena.

Coming to you point that Indian students are being beaten up in Australia and North Indians are being attacked in Mumbai.now let me tell u something that Mr. Raj Thakre are not against all the U.P.Biharis but only to those who does not respect Maharashtrian culture even after living so many years in Maharashtra.these people come here,they don't speak Marathi and even try to celebrate some days like 'Uttar Pradesh Din' which is not even celebrated in U.P.No Maharashtrian can tolerate this.Some people like Abu Azmi and many more cant speak marathi even after spending nearly 36 years in Maharashtra.
Again about racist attacks in Australia.Somewhere back I have read in Times Of India that these attacks are being happened not entirely because of racism but due to some following reasons.
1)Some Indian students tease the local Australian girls.
2)They listen Punjabi music on high volume disturbing the other neighbours.
3)Some students pays the rent of only one person and then bring their friends as roomies without the permission of owner.
4)Some roam around naked(in underpants) on the streets.
These things created the anger in Australian community and because of some bad people everyone has to suffer there.

26/11: U said that where was Mr. Raj Thakre during those attacks.Let me tell u that many of the casualties were provided with the blood from blood banks of Maharashtra Navnirmaan Sena.
And some ambulances were also sponsored by the party.And u said Mr. Raj Thakre did not give condolances for the people died in attacks but then you must not have attended his rally after the blasts where he spoke on a length about those attacks.That is not ur fault because media never show such issues taken up by him(Especially Hindi and english media).
And when u say that Mumbai was saved by non marathis then let me tell u that when Golden Temple was attacked by terrorists,Late Mrs.Indira Gandhi started the operation called Blue Star which was lead by General Arunkumar Vaidya which was a Maharashtrian.But we never claimed that Punjab was saved by India.
So I would like to request you that please stop judging him if u dont know him completely.First get ur facts corrected and then only comment.Not only him but on anybody...
Jai Hind
Jai Maharashtra.

Akshata Paradkar: @Rajinder, very true, I agree with you completely...

Rajinder Katoch: Upendera, Shiv Sena is not named after Lord Shiva because Bal Thackeray can have patent on Shivaji, but not on Lord Shiva because he belongs to all.
In the ego fight between Shiv Sena, Congress, MNS it was Sharukh and the common man who lost. The city of Mumbai was made the wrestling ground. An emergency was declared and there were egos of two, Bal Thackeray and Chavan. Just for one movie two thousand people were put in jail.
May I ask, what happened in Pune three days later could have happened in Mumbai on Friday, the situation would have been different. Then the people, media were speaking against the Congress and Sharukh. For people like Pooja Bedi who have no sense of politics she left everything and came to see Sharukh's movie first day first show. She should look at her own state the kind of double standards are played there. According to me the life of common man was put on risk by Congress CM in Maharashtra just for one movie. Raj played sensible to some extent.

Akshata Paradkar: AND A VERY IMP POINT TO CLARIFY....
SHIV SENA IS BASED ON THE NAME "SHIVAJI"
SHIV SENA: ARMY OF SHIVAJI
AND NOT LORD SHIVA
GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT MISTER B4 WRITING BLOGS!!!!!!!!!!!

Sri Pathi: hai upendra i think their is big mistake from our governament this hindustan we hindus have all rights to do bcos of some votes from minorites our political people & media people go behind them i allways stand with hindu saporters
JAIHIND

Yash Latkar: cont..
6. Mind you the same Sharukh had said sorry to Barbers association and changed the name of his film earlier, this time around he remains firm on his love to pakistan.
7. Shiv Sena makes a fool of themselves and MNS hit them hard.
8. Most of the police force was protecting multiplexes when the bomb blasted in the most sensitive area where intelligence reports had already warned that it was on target.
9. We poor people are just the sufferers of politics and economis aspirations of these big names.
10. Now please stand and clap as loud as you can on the death of inocent people praise Sharukh for being polite to Pakis and pat the backs of Shiv sainiks who could not understand what needs to be given more importance.
Clap as loud as you can as I mourn on the destruction of my favourite cafe.
Jai Hind....

Yash Latkar: Dear Upendra,
Recently a bomb blasted in my city and we idiots are discussing was Sharukh wrong??? Let me give you a listof events and chronology to make things clear.

1. 26/11 happened and Pak players were automatically side lined by the owners. Pure economical reasons no owner wants to be associated with Pak.
2. Oh!! this is not taken very kindly by pakis or by Saudis.
3. Now dear Shahrukh is stuck. He has made a film on muslim world and the muslim countries may ban his movie because he has not taken a Pak player.
4. There's strong fan following him there and he want his film to be released or else he'll suffer loss. He makes statements about harmony saying he wanted the players and political outfits do not want them.
5. He keeps burning the fire to create sympathy in muslim world. The film runs full houses and media goes crazy over Sharukh's victory.
cont....

Kunal Kuril: It seems that new kind of Naxilism is emerging in Maharashtra.Thnks to Thakreys..Iam not favourig Shahruk or SivSena or Congress. Then who?? Whom shd be blamed? COmmon Man? Yes.. Today we are not concerned with the wat social and common problems we are facing. WHat governmetn has done in all these years? No or improper power, water supply, poor infrastructure. Everyting is for veote banks.
What Shahruk wants? To do business by playing Pak players and earn huge money .There's strong fan following him there and he want his film to be released or else he'll suffer loss. And what govt wants? Vote. By luring people and shahrukh to earn vote and make profit. Let the 26/11 and other terrorist attack happen. Who cares for us?

So where are we a commmon man? A dumb audience!!! Just enjoying the game and let it happen. Becos we dnt want change.

I dnt know when there will be change.. I cansee the dark future of this country.
May GOD can save us..

Manan Joshi: By saying "If they’re so much obsessed with Marathi people then at that time they should have stood up in front and must have declared that only Marathi people will fight this war and no outsiders allowed." come on man, this is not the way you should write your article. This is the same language you are using so then why don't we read Balasaheb's article which has better logic on all the aspects which you mentioned. One point you forget to mention...let me tell you...how much you get for writing in favor of so called and self proclaimed nachne - ganewala...or are you joining KKR serving drinks to your bosses...clarify and stop this hate culture.

Pravin S Patil: Anita Tai Aapnas Manacha Mujara...

Ankita Tilekar: FINALLY TALKING ABOUT MY STATE...U BETTER NOT KEEP NAMES TO THE MARATHIS OR MARATHI LEADERS!!!
AND BEFORE THE COMMANDOES DESCENDED TO SAVE MUMBAI DURING 26/11 OUR 3 MAIN MARATHI OFFICERS AND AROUND 20 OTHER MARATHI POLICEMEN SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES!!!!!!!! AND THIS WONT BE FORGOTTEN BY ME, THE PEOPLE OF MY STATE AND THE WHOLE OF INDIA!!

BUT 1ST PROVE YOURSELVES MAKE YOUR STATES ELIGIBLE AND THEN SPEAK ABOUT MAHARASHTRA!!!

MANY OF MY FRIENDS ARE NORTH INDIANS AND THEY TOO AGREE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR OWN STATES CANNOT PROVIDE THEM WITH A SECURE FUTURE!!!! INSTEAD OF SHOUTING AROUND EVERYWHERE AND SAYING "INDIA BELONGS TO ALL" AND THAT YOU GUYS ARE PROUD INDIANS GO AND BRING DEVELOPMENT IN YOUR OWN STATES!!! ATLEAST IT WILL ACCOMODATE A FEW LAKHS OF MIGRANTS IN MUMBAI AND REDUCE PRESSURE ON THE CITY AND IMPROVE THE STD. OF LIVING!!!!!!! AND YES ALSO BRING ABOUT A BALANCED REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT!!! U.P. BIHAR WILL ALSO BE CALLED WELL DEVELOPED AND NOT ONLY BE TERMED AS THE CRIME STATES !!!!

Ankita Tilekar: WHAT IS ANTI-NATIONAL IN THE ACTS OF THACKERAYS I DON'T UNDERSTAND??? THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THE SONS OF SOIL BECAUSE THE SITUATION DEMANDS SO!!! THERE IS SO MUCH PRESSURE ON EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF THE MIGRANTS!! AND BEFORE PREACHING THE LEADERS HERE PLEASE GO AND AGITATE AGAINST THE LEADERS OF YOUR STATE IN U.P AND BIHAR!!!!!

ATLEAST THACKERAYS ARE FIRM IN WHAT THEY DO!!!! THEY ARE TAKING THE BEATINGS AND LATHIS OF THE GOVT. FOR THEIR PEOPLE WHAT HAVE YOUR

Atharva D: contd...
if you have little self respect, stop writing against maharashtra and the thackreys and dare your brothers to go back to up and bihar. why do you all get loose motions in conpany of mayawati and laloo. well the uncrowned prince does.... well that is how the legend goes.
my friend before you write shit be carefull cause it will hit you hard and beware it is going to come hard this time whenever it comes. cause we will ensure results

Atharva D: Contd..
indians all over the world are beaten because of the behaviour of the handful of north indians. remember the way the uncrowned shameless prince of congress travelled in mumbai recently using the maha police as if they were his property. tell him to come to mumbai when there is shivsena government and i asure you his ball will be blasted out of the sockets. that if he really has the couple.
one issue i never understood the so called literates of up and bihar are not living in patna / lucknow. why are you not been able to develop your states. inspite of being spit upon why do you people are so unself respectful that you still want to be in other states. why dont you guys feel ashamed of your states and self. WELL DO YOU GET THE POINT. i think you can write from patna or do you forget english when you are there. axxxxxxe.
before criticising thakreys look in your back yard. comment on the backwardness of your states rather than fighting for rights in other states.
contd....

Atharva D: This is a typical north indian article. they are born thieves or kins of one and what can one expect from the kins of thieves as they are living on the booty of thieves.
one must know what is own's land and what is mother land. the kins of mayawati, laloo and now not so heard other yadavs have made their names synomyms with slumdogs, thieves, murderers. the issue of these guys coming to mumbai is not just seeking jobs and that is what is opposed.
wrt the way thakreys treat them, well, will these shameless slumdogs go out of mumbai if requested politely. NO. they are told in their own way.
regarding the constitutional rights, well the constitution does not allow anyone freedom to encroach the rights of other citizens. but this, these illiterate migrants will not understand and the literate will never and both belong to the same shit background.

Akshata Paradkar: We, Marathi people are never against migration coz that is inevitable.
But if that is going to affect our youth , we wont take it lying down.
I BELIEVE YOU ARE WELL EDUCATED THEN IF YOU ARE SO BOTHERED PLEASE TAKE SOME STEPS AND DEVELOP YOUR STATES...
We also arent against educated lot of you people is coming in....BUT, if your uneducated people are pouring in lakhs everyday to our state and spoiling it converting it into another BIHAR/UP, its not done...
WE WOULD NEVER EVER LET IT HAPPEN !!!!!!!
SS & MNS DO HAVE VALID POINTS THOUGH SOMETIMES THEIR ACTIONS ARE WRONG..
BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT PEOPLE SHOUD NEGLECT AT WHAT THEY ARE POINTING AT!!!!!!!
I am hoping you get what I am trying to say...
Thanks...

Akshata Paradkar: And speaking about Australia, the situation is going to get bigger if Indians dont reduce going ther...Any localite will get agitated if somebody from outside comes and snatches away their job opportunits!!!!
And for your kind information Barak Obama has already started urging his country youth to start education seriusly to avoid INDIANS & CHINESE taking up their jobs!!!!!!!
UK has refused giving visas to North Indians, if you dont know, coz lakhs of them go and stay thier illegally!!!!!!!
And the same thing is happening in MAHARSHTRA at a local scale.
Why are biharis coming to give exams for govermnt jobs here?
BIHAR & UP DONT HAVE GOVERMNT JOBS??????????
AND THN WHAT SHOULD MARATHI YOUTH DO?
SIT AT HOME?
WHY ARE THE ADVERTISEMNTS FOR GOVMNT JOBS IN MAHARSHTRA GIVEN IN BIHAR PAPERS & NOT IN MARATHI PAPERS???????
YOU THINK THIS ALL IS PROPER?????????
AND IF THATS SO, WE CANT HELP BUT JUST KEEP OPPOSING YOU.

Akshata Paradkar: What do you have to say about Biharis & Upites staying iilegally, preparing fake ration cards availing all facilites instead of the localits, stealing electricty & water,
spreading garbage wherever they go, harassing women [I am seriusly gonna kill some bihari reagrding that, coz these people are just hopeless and such cases are increasing day by day....]
and MOST IMPORTANT,
SENDING ALL THE MONEY EARNED TO UP & BIHAR WIDOUT GIVING A PENNY TO MUMBAI?
What do you think Mumbai being the financial capital has the responsiblty of feeding everybody?
You are very wrong!!!!!!!! Every city has LIMITATIONS & MUMBAI IS NO EXCEPTION!!!!!!

Akshata Paradkar: And if you are so worried about Biharis and Upites I would request you to do a very imporatant thing instead of wasting time writing your opinions...
Go to your states and develop opportunites there!!!!!!!!!
So all your problems of your people coming here and getting beaten up will vanish!!!!!!!
Its been 50 years, is the govermnt and ministers from your state sleeoing???
Your states are in the same condition...
So you peple's condition is like this " first create problems by not developing your own states, then send your people to spoil our states and then shout and go against us for driving you out!!!!!" Waah ...wht else you want?
If you are so worried why dont you say or do nethng regarding Biharis being burnt alive in Assam & Punjab?
Wht do you have to say about anti bihar agenda from Sikhs?????
And why dont you send biharis down south?
Or you dont have the guts to?
