Raj Thackeray or MNS is not a representative of Maharashtra and has very very limited following amongst Maharashtrians. Yes, what he does attracts attention as it is a natural reaction of people to look at something sensational, but this does not mean that Raj Thackeray represents Maharashtra or the sentiments of Maharashtrians.
Whatever is being done is by a small group of MNS followers which is miniscule compared to Maharashtra's population.
Maharastrians are a mature and forward looking community and are confident of competing against rest of the successful Indians. It is needless for rediff to sensationalise this issue further by raking up topics such as job reservations. As is the case everywhere, every family has a few black sheep and that is what MNS are!
