Maharastrians are the true patriots
by Ramesh Anand on Feb 05, 2008 11:19 AM

There have been lot of discussions on rediff.com's board as well as newspapers,and,I think , on TV channels on Raj thakere's out brusts and his supporters'manhandling of Biharis,stating things like-when we allow Ganesh Pooja in UP,Bihar,why not Chhat Pooja in Mumbai,or,Bengalis celebrate their Durga Pooja wherever they have settled,hence on the similar lines,why not chhat pooja.If you go deep into this,the media is trying to teach every province,though indirectly,not to tolerate Ganesh Pooja or Durga Pooja in other states.It is a very cunning method of disintegrating Hindu Unity.Media is trying to sow the seeds that if Ganesh Pooja is tolerated in Bihar it is favour being done on Maharastrians.The fact is,as we all Hindus know,that we love and get attached emotionally to all the Poojas whether it is Durga POOja, Ganesh festival,Ram Navami,Krishna Janmasthmi,Makar Sakranti,Hindu New Year(Varsh Pratipada)or Maha Shiv Ratri.Hindus do not see these Poojas restricted to some specific states.These Poojas are the things,including our temples which fills us with the feeling that the whole of India is our country.Hence the concept of Bharat Mata.But the media is forcing us to believe that Ganesh Utsav is merely for Maharasthrians and Jagannath puri's Rath Yatra for oriyas.Raje Thakere reacted because Lolu Ram tried to take political advantage out of chhat pooja which the maharastrians enjoyed to their heart content.How can they hate or dispise Sun Worship? Yes we made hate Bakreed
