All this is Unjustified
by Munish Bahl on Feb 13, 2008 07:36 PM

India being a democratic country, there is no need for whatever is happening in Maharashtra. Everyone here is free enough to live, work and worship as per his/her own wish. If a handful of MNS people think that "outsiders" are doing anything wrong to them then there are democratic ways to tackle this. However what has happened in last few days suggests that NMS people are "afraid" of their jobs, language, culture being taken away by migrants/businessmen from Notrh. This simply implies that they don't have confidence in their own culture that it can withstand all this. If Raj or his group is so concerned about their culture, then why don't they organize functions, seminars for people from outside to make them familiar to this. However this seems to be a time taking and more painful than spreading hatred and violence to gain grasp of vote bank. Being from Punjab I can say we never attack Marathi people living here, rather invite them to our functions, and this is the true INDIAN culture.
