This has to change
by Prasad Manohar on Jul 09, 2006 11:42 PM

Of course, whatever happened to the statue was bad and would have hurt the feelings of the shiv-sainiks in Maharashtra.

But, I really feel our way to express the anger has to change. It was extremely shocking to see the burning bus, broken / damaged shops, and lots of property damage.

This is just an example of our weakness. One perosn does something and we burn the whole Maharashtra, close all the shops, stop doing business. We couldn't be any more weak than this. We can actually work with the police to help them find the person who did this bad thing. But instead, we simply feel great in expressing our anger by burning the whole Maharashtra (or may be Bombay for that matter).

What shocked me more was, Balasaheb or even Uddhav didn't do anything to stop the Shiv sainiks?

This has to change. Really, we cannot be the bottleneck in our own progress.
