Are we blind? The topic should have been 'Is Shiv Sena justified in their actions?' Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj will remain an icon of Maharashtra. His acts of glory and bravery in the face of strong opponents will be sung in the folklore, irrespective of Shiv Sena. Here the question is that of Shiv Sena experimenting with how far they can arm-twist the population, before a counter reaction brings law of the land back to the forefront. Identity crisis of the leadership...and Rediff, you ought to throw your might behind 'Orkut', judging from the reactions to this post...your number will be next. The post should read 'What's happened to governance in Maharashtra?' The police force is so infiltrated with Shiv Sainiks and their sympathisers that they actually stood as bystanders whilst an unruly mob went about unreasonable destruction of property of unrelated people owning cyber-cafes'! Will the State government filter out the police force and restore law and order so that the ordinary man on the street can continue a civilised existance? Hate instigates hate. All opinions and expressions can be countered by intelligent debate. If you need brute force then some urgent introspection is required because nothing is permanent - natural justice finally catches up.
