RE:Point of View

hey Sriram! there is no point in getting agitated. Sure Mumbai is your place, because by first principle One belongs to the place where he/she is born and feel sense of belonging for. Its high time that in present context people will have to broaden the definition of "mumbaikar" or "marathi" liberally with open heart and more importantly with open brain. I got a name from someone in this chat of gaddar (no offense taken or intended)and i believe that the gentleman in question stays across the atlantic or pacific (whatever...does that matter really?), what will be it like if the gentleman is harassed on the basis of his origin?
come on guys be an indian first or shold i say human being first??? i may be hardhitting few of your collective nerves but we are a nation which believes in "vasudhaiva kutumbakam". we have indianized the aggressors like Shaks, Huns and Yavans. For heaven's sake we are not a adolescent nation we are so called "Vishwa Guru" . Are we setting an example. Sure we are; but not on form of 'Do' but "DON'T".
if we pay heed to such callings which may divide us where do we stand really?
call me anything you wish but be an Indian first , the Indian which world has been inspired from for ages. If we do that there will be no issues like that.
