Points to Ponder!
by Venkat Gopalakrishnan on Feb 08, 2008 07:04 PM

I am a mumbaite, born and bred.
Less said about this organization the better. He was and is a hypocrite to the core.
Inasmuch as what Raj Thackeray is doing is utter nonsense, he is accusing Raj of resorting to this kind of violence to gain political mileage, which may be true, but, this is exactly what Bal Thackeray did in the 70's to the south indians. People from UP and Bihar are hardworking and come to Bombay to earn a living. Shiv Sena or any other party for that matter, has no freaking right to deny them that opportunity. Show him some money and he will be on their side.
Remember the riots against the Sikhs, poor guys had to pay him for protection.
Even with this influx from other states the underworld and most crimes commited in the city is still predominantly local. The muslim population, barring a few, are peace loving and for the most part driven to crime and violence because of the Shiv Sena and their mob mentality. I have to empathize them, they never feel secure and that's a shame for a secular country such as ours. This city is the financial capital of the country because of the the Gujaratis, Parsis, marwaris in the business sector and the south indians in the white collar sector. WORK HARD!! If you want to succeed.
