That will be a great news. Marathi are typically apolitical. If it happens what you say, that will be graet, that;s when marathi manoos will wake up and than we will have solution. All it takes is one election to loose. I hope it happens the way you say.
v indians greet foreigners' language but not our own brothers' by godzila on Feb 10, 2008 09:40 PM | Hide replies
v indians vl support english language in ind even if majority of us dont know it. but v vl not allow language of majority of the ppl to flourish in our own country. when 80% of us know hindi, but r conveniently protesting against the use of rashtrabhasha. y to support foreign language when v hv our own language. no other country is doing this non-sensical acts, like russia, china, france, germany, portugal, etc.
You people are battling whole the day throwing statements against each other, but the true fact is Bihar is not the part of north India, it is the part of eastern India. If I am wrong , please correct me but I am sure it is the truth. So, stop mud sledging against each other , let's go to bed..as tomorrow is monday..and could you please anyone of you teach Raj the geography of India. And thanks to Bal Thakrey who came forward and gave the statement "A chicken is suffering in bird flue" , you must be understood towards whom he was trying to indicate.. So, stop fighting each other there are many thing to celebrate like today's India's win over Aus or we entered into Trillion club in the world or poor people in India drops to 20.44% said by NSS. Cheers up..
I propose following solution to UP & Bihar. (1) Representaion from each state (number of MPs making law) should be tied to taxation reveune each state generates and not the volume of people each state breeds. (2) For next twenty years there should not be any elections in UP & Bihar. First of all people don't have any choice, and if they did they don't who to elect. It should be under president's rule. (3) We should make each state compete for economy, jobs creations, tax revenue, growth. And every five years the bottom under performing states looses election right and come directly president rule. This way underperforming states politicians gets penalized, and forces them to think progressively. (4) Seperate funds needs to created by Center for development of the underperforming states, where the politicians will have no access to this kitty, but notable private sector who will make decisions for the failed state.

Friend, Some people try to portray UP & Bihar as real villains in this whole drama.Remember,these two states provide some of the best talents and hard working people who migrate to other parts of the country,well in their right,and assist in revenue generation exercise.They are not UNEMPLOYABLE and are wiling to sacrifice so much.I believe some people ,in their quest to be heard,get along with some goons who feel they are the real well wishers of their city and command /rule it like a mafia.Please don't get carried away by it......this is all political drama...politicians' ploy to keep things boiling.It will be a sign of our intellectual bankruptcy if we get carried away by such rhetoric....It is the responsibility of all those who are the focal point of all this nautanki to see thru' the real design....Instead of exhorting people to get up and compete, these politicians are only trying to make things worse for their future.By the way,I believe Farmers of Vidarbha too are the REAL sons of soil who have been dying of idebtedness... never heard of any farmer commiting suicide in north....Amen..!!

My dear Ashutosh, Point that Maharashtrians are making is that the talented Biharis can use their talent where it is needed to improve the conditions, that is in Bihar. Are they coming to Maharashtra to help the farmers in Vidarbha? That is for Mahaharashtrains to do. When there was a terrible famine in Bihar, dozens of social workers from Maharashtra had gone to Bihar to help organize relief work. They had gone there at their own expense and not for salary as the talent from Bihar expects to earn everyhwere else. They were apalled to see the lethargy of the zamindars who had the money but did not want to spend it to irrigate the fields and feed their hungry country-cousins. You might not have even heard of Pundalikji Katagade, a Maharashtrian, who, as ayoung boy, was sent by Mhatmaji to Motihari to serve the people. He organized the farmers in Motihari against the expoitative British planters who would not let the farmers plant grain on a single square inch of land and forced them to plant only indigo. Our government has removed such inspiring parts of history from books. May be your parents might remember him. You forget like all those cultural aristocrats in who boast about their culture and language that there is greatness in every man, only you must not be narcissitic and look beyond your state borders.

Ashutosh, by no means I am suggesting that some of best talents have come from UP & Bihar. Bihar had Nalanda University in days, where people still hunting for food in West. But you cannot deny that conditions are in dire conditions due to politicians there. I am not saying politicians in others states are angels but realtively better. As far as Vidharba is concerned, it is due to the lack of political clout these poor peasants have, particularly cotton grwers (99%). Indian cotton growers are facing competetion from cheap and most of the times subsidies from the Government. For example, US exempts Bangladesh & Pakistan from taxes on cotton as economic incentive. You cannot export wheat to US or european union as they protect local farmers. US here gives big incentives to farmers not to produce certain crops to control supply & demand of commododities.Vidharbha farmers have no political strong lobby like sugar lobby (pawar's group). These farmers are in vicisous circle as they produce and there are no buyers. Govt is giving false hopes that comming year demand is growing so local indian cotton industry don't have to buy from outside at higher price. They need to stop growing cotton, and switch over to other crops, but it takes atleast 2-3 years to switch from cash crops like cotton to other, and they have no money. Had this been Punjab farmers or Sugar farmers in maharashtra, central govt would be pumping money as these are strong lobbies or for that matter UP and Maharash

Why should Raj be blamed for fomenting regionalism ?? When DMK supports LTTE why is there no concern about regionalism ?? When Akalis install the portrait of Gernail Singh Bihdrawale in Dam Dami Taksal ( who wanted to break up India) why was there chilly silence among the desh Bhakts ?? When Bengalis openly rioted to protest against exclusion of Saurabh Ganguly from Indian Cricket team where were the those who cry foul agaist regionalism ?? The truth is people from UP and Bihar have swamped the states like Delhi, Orissa, Assam, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. Wherever they go they start behaving like they are in Azamgarh or Siwan. They do not respect the culture in which they go. Raj Thakeray's fight is against those that want to convert maharahstra into azamgarh or Siwan. This fight is not for jobs or resources but to maintain local culture and avoid lawlessness of UP and bihar. Lalu and Amarshing should take a dip in chulu bhar pani because it is their failure that people from UP and BIhar are flocking to other states. What have they done to improve the situation in UP and Bihar ?? Before commenting on what is right and wrong these leaders should get out of their AC cars and mix with common people instead of partying with bollywood celebrities . Just ask people of Orrisa, Delhi, Assam, Rajasthan about people from UP and Bihar and you will know why the Raj Thakeray got so much support. As for Abu he is ISI agent. Govt should expedite pending criminal cases against him.
This sounds like a good and ligitimate idea, and maybe Raj goal as he has no respect for Hindi language. Aslo all those english signs should be converted to marthi, we should not be living in a Coolie Raj.
