All 30 millions INDIANS NRI's out of which 5 millions are Maharashtras Indians(NRI's) should through back to India by overseas countries. All countries like USA,Europe,Canada,Australia etc are become so crowded and dirty because of these Illiterate and uncivilized Indians. Indians who don't have unity in their own country they don't have any rights to live overseas countries.

raj, when u don't know the real issue, u should try to do some digging and find it out, rather than typing whatever comes to ur brain (if u have one!), and giving the impression to others that you are a helpless, frustrated and stupid person!

All you guys don't deserve to be in a b'ful country like India........We preach Unity in Diversity but all u guys know is Racism.....things like these are the only factors which are holding India back....I hope there is some strong laws to put racists like you and Raj Thackeray behind bars......

I think the real reason for ppl getting angry and frustrated with AB is because the society never saw in Philanthropist mode. Its vital that such a huge and successful folks give back a little to society what they got from it.e:g Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, NarayanMurthy et al Black Money might be one of the reasons stopping Bacchans from doing it. But then...

Has everyone forgot that Amitabh Bachchan is a farmer, who after losing that case went to Paris to watch the French Open? It filled me with joy to see a "common man - farmer" from India in Paris to watch tennis, a sport of elite people!!!

If all are allowed to roam like animals and create shit anywhere, why were states created at first place ? There has to be some system of balances and checks to disallow unauthorized migration from backward states (who are backward due to their own culture) to advanced states.

Simple question. Big Bachhan has spent his life time in Mumbai. Can he speak Marathi? How fluently? There are so many others like him who cant. Does this happen anywhere else in the country? Thats why Raj is right.
RE:Big B a Mumbaikar?

I dont find the need for that. Mumbai is a cosmopolitan place. Its not fair to impose Marathi culture on migrants. Especially when they are fellow Indians who are of same emotional and cultural make up.

There are loads and tons of people in Karnataka who cant speak Kannada.. and more come in bus loads everyday to Bangalore.. we hate them, they cause huge strain on the meagre utilities we have.. but we have to accomodate them becuase we are nice decent people.

Come to Borivali(E),Mumbai, NEar railway. see how UP, Bihar people take bath in undewear openly . it's just beside Railway station.
I think the best solution would be to implement Visa system for Mumbai. All ppl who are not domiciled in Maharashtra must apply for visa(Business/Personal/Work/Socail Visit). This the only way to control the influx of non-deserving, uncivilised,blue collared vandals from other lawless states in India.This can be modelled on HongKong Visa System as it applies to mainland chinese. Else the dream of putting Mumbai on World map rubbing shoulders with likes of Singapore, HK, Tokyo or Shanghai remains a distant dream. - Ek Marathi Manus
RE:Visa for Mumbai
by Soham Banerjee on Feb 07, 2008 06:59 AM Permalink
Influx of non-derserving,uncivilized, blue collared vandals ? Who decides who is non-deserving and uncivilized ? You give examples of 3 cities ... allow me to explain the situation for each of them : 1) Singapore : a country by itself - it should have a visa system....no matter what. Irrelevant to the discussion here, and your point. 2) Hong Kong : The visa requirement for Chinese is mainly due to the difference in Government ideologies (Communist vs Capitalist). You should also know that in HK, the Chinese government keeps the influx of people into HK in control, but does not hesitate to interfere in HK's own political and financial affairs. Just oen example - the HK dollar value fell to 1/5 of it's value since the Chinese take over. 3) Shanghai - A very prosperous city running without any of the so-called 'influx-control' or 'visa' programs you seem to favour. Bottomline : You can make a prosperous city not with a xenophobic mentality like yours : but with political will and upright leaders. How much money does it take to enforce laws in Mumbai to prevent s[itting and littering in public places ? How much money does it take to improve sanitation a la HK and SG ? The answer, if you care to look - is ' a fraction of what it would cost to implement a visa system to keep people out '.

Soham, Most of what you say is right. However regarding Shanghai there is a "hooka" system in China. Its mainly to prevent influx of migrant workers who flock Shanghai in name of earning livelihood. HOWEVER the difference is that it doesnt stop these people on which region they come from. If the people are sponsored by any company/office based in Shanghai there are some formalities which need to be completed and the "hooka" can be obtained. This system of claiming Mumbai is only for certain"tribe" of people is absurd. Development will happen only with open mind and futuristic policy - not by being regionilist or chauvinist...
RE:Visa for Mumbai

That sounds fair. Though I believe in 'Horses for courses' and so Mumbai should have its tailor made policy in place to control the quality of ppl flocking in.
RE:RE:Visa for Mumbai

Soham, I didnt intend to compare visa systems of Singapore and Shanghai with hypothetical Mumbai visa system. Yeah HK I did. Nor did I suggest that all the filth is coming from outsiders. Furthermore, I dont understand what you mean my 'cleaning' and its incurred cost. I was actually talking about 'Quality' of ppl, necessary to build a successful region. Hope I made myself clear. Cheers

There are many non-marathis in Mumbai so Visa system for everybody? I think Maharastra should be separated from India so that you can't move to other states with the kind of freedom which constitution has given you.
RE:Visa for Mumbai

No you getting me wrong friend. Everybody(including non-marathis) who are 'domiciled' in Maharashtra need no Visa to enter the city. Rest all will need it.

yh, n that is the reason why there r hardly any "marathi manus" in mumbai proper...coz they can't afford the land there (except the encroachers in dharavai n similar slums, of course"...

RE:RE:Visa for Mumbai

Thanks for the concern bro. Leave that to Mumbaikars.And you are not getting my point. I never insisted that Mumbai should be made up of only its true natives.A modern Mumbaikar can be Gujju, Southie, Northie or inland Ghati.I said whoever is 'deserving' should be in so as to control the never ending influx of migrants. Else theres exceedingly more filth to clean.
