| Mumbai, MNS – Shiv Sena and My name is Khan!!!! | |||
My last to last article was on 'IPL Snub' - happened couple of weeks ago. For the article I got some of the positive and negative comments (including the emails received).
The dramatic & surprising sequence of the IPL is still continuing, as everyone know what's happening in Mumbai - the issues raked up by the Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. Yes, you all are correct, issues for North Indians residing in Mumbai and declaring Shahrukh Khan as an anti-nationalist personality.
Recently, I've received some of my readers email questioning me, “if I agree with the decision taken in IPL then I also may be agreeing with the assertions made by the Shiv Sena for Shahrukh Khan and probably for North Indian too”. I am going to put forward my opinion (point of view) in front of everyone (my opinion may be right or may be wrong)!!!!
My dear friends let me first clarify - I myself belong to North India so there is no question of agreeing over the treatment of Non-Marathies for Marathi & Non-Marathi issue. And trust me even if I had not been a North Indian then also I would have never agreed with it.
Now, let’s come onto the next bright & burning issue, prevailing in the country - the comments made by 'Shiv Sena and MNS' for their cheap popularity. Let us think for a while, a political party (with handful of workers, only limited or say confined to Maharashtra) is vomitting poison for the people of India in the name of Marathi & Non-Marathi, and hence doing devise to divide people of India. Then how can anyone believe that both these parties can talk about a country as a whole (for India & Pakistan).
Let me take this up-frontally and candidly that today ‘Pakistan’ may not be a greater threat but definitely both of these parties, their method of sayings, dividing people of North and Maharashtra may prove greater danger & damage to our country. Again as I always say for this I’ve my own reasons, such as:
Divide & Rule policy: East India Company (Britishers) ruled on us for almost 200 years by following the principle of – “Divide and Rule”. Both these also parties have adopted the same principle and are dreaming to rule over Maharashtra at-least if not India. Trust me friends, even if this North Indians and Marathi issue is resolved, on the very next day both these parties would bring another issue that would even divide Marathies as well.
Original norms & values: Shiv sena has basically forgotten their original norms and values, and MNS a virtual subsidiary (as Raj Thakerey initially were part of Shiv Sena) thus the same applies to them as well.
To my understanding original norms and values of Shiv Sena is complete devotion to country.
I would like to get into very basics, the ideal of both these parties (mine as well and probably of all Indian) “Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj” is known for his devotion to the country as a whole, he fought & struggled against the enemies of the country. His thought, his vision of an Independent India was not limited to Maharashtra itself. And I think, this is what Maratha’s are known for.
My first question to the Marathi people, are they proud of what is happening in Mumbai? And would they inculcate the same concept in their children too.
My next question, let’s for the time being forget who Marathi is and who is Non-Marathi. Do we agree with what is happening in Australia with the Indians?
I’m confident that Mr. Bal Thakrey and Mr. Raj Thakrey must be ‘OK’ with it, as what they are doing in Mumbai the same things Australians are doing their own country. And I think Mr. Raj Thakrey must send their children in Australia for studies and I would love to know his reaction when he is being given the dose of his own medicine.
What anyone does not expects from others, he/she should not do same to others. If we do not appreciate rude and rod action taken by Australians against Indians, how can we justify unlawful, discriminating action being created in Maharashtra. Any Indian having good sense will certainly not (no question arise) appreciate their dividing & discriminating action.
Every person in this world look forward to opportunity, as of now Mumbai is having an edge as most of the Multi-National Companies and Industrial sectors are there. So it is but natural that the people from all over the country look forward to this city. The same applies to all over the world, people have migrated from India to U.S., U.K. etc., as and when opportunity came in the way. But my dear friends please note – if all the countries may have followed the same theory which Shiv Sena and MNS are following then India today would had been 30 years back in the development.
Spiritualism, an illusion: I’ve always seen from my childhood, Mr. Bal Thakrey wearing Saffron clothes, rudraksha mala in his neck, his party is also named on ‘Lord Shiva’. All together these things automatically brings a perception about the party but when it comes about it’s actions then the picture is completely different. This is for the simple reason that spiritualism (for any religion) actually unities people, bring people together, bring peace and harmony.
Everyone knows that the Blood Group may differ but Soul Group can never. A body contain different organs, and if anyone tries to separate an organ from his body then would his body work or would he be able to survive?
Our country is a body and different regions are its different organs. The racial issues raised by both these parities are not for the welfare of Marathi people but for paralysing the body (our country).
And probably that’s the reason I quoted above, Pakistan may not be a greater threat but shortly discriminating notion of these parties are!!!
26/11: a very unwanted and unfortunate incident happened in our country. I remember how whole country stood up for Mumbai; I personally kept the new channel opened for complete 3 days. After everything got over, everywhere in India prayers for the peace and well being of Mumbai were organised.
During this whole incident, where were Mr. Raj Thakrey, Mr. Bal Thakrey and Mr. Uddhav Thakrey? I never saw them appearing in front of any news channel and mentioning any condolence for the people died in the attack. Didn’t these so called ‘Lions’ (by themselves only) had the guts to face people. 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.
Declaring Shahrukh as an anti-nationalist: What crime has Shahrukh committed for him to be declared as anti-nationalist? It is only that he spoke just what he thought genuine then probably after this article is published, I may also be declared an anti-nationalist person or probably a fatwa kind of thing would be issued from Mr. Bala Shaheb Thakrey against me, who knows?
And I believe if all Indians starts speaking honestly with their mind then might be Mr. Thakrey would declare whole country as anti-nationalist. Probably, the definition of a true national in the mind set of both these parties are those who supports their point/concept, rest all are anti-national.
Every person in India is entitled to make fair comments but it is in no proper way and just to my mind that such great artist should be declared anti-nationalist, Mr. Shahrukh Khan is also an Indian and as loyal to the country as anybody can be.
Frankly speaking, my respect for Shahrukh Khan has increased to a lot – first of all with great dignity and confidence he spoke honestly what he felt about the incident happened in IPL and thereafter his denial of apologising even in so much of pressure (his next big film is just about to release).
At Last: Dear Readers - I just wanted to say that I had these things going in my mind but wasn’t able to convey. Truly speaking, I have said everything but many things is left to say and I’m sure your precious comments would fulfil it.
It’s now high time for us to raise our voice rather than hearing their noise, we’ve to bring ourselves together so that we can show them the real picture. I’ve already done my bit and would require your support to make it successful.
Please forward the link of this article to your friends and family and get their comments on it, more comments would show what mass thinks about it and thereafter I would send this article to media, letting them know what’s the verdict of people on these issues.
With lots of love……………

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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?
Akshata Paradkar:
@aashee & Kaushik, I totally agree with you guys...
You talk of 26/11 attacks and thackreys nt being newhr, atleast they have a sense not to blabber things at the wrong time as against the supid GANDHIS.
And for your kind information it was maharshtrians only who faught with the terorists!!!!!! NGS came on the 3rd day....
Till then we lost our beloved KARKARE, SALASKAR & KAMTE & 12 of other honest policemen who were all marathi!!!!!!!!
The great AJMAL KASAB was caught by TUKARAM OMBLE even when he was injured....And all these were Marathis!!!!!!!!!!
If you are so against thackreys please explain to us what your kins, laloo yadav, mayawati and ur beloved gandhi family has done till now!!!!
lalu has turned the INDIAN RAILWAYS into a BIHAR RAILWA/UP RAILWAY.
If you talk so much about norms and peace,etc, you must be well aware that the INDIAN CONSTITUTION has clearly mentioned that every state must give priority to localites....which is being avoided in MAHARSHTRA, because of biharis...
