RE:North Indians in Maharashtra
by Rajeev Kumar on Feb 17, 2008 12:14 AM

Very true Aditya, We must see both sides of the coin. Rotten politicians like Thakrays, Abu Azmis, Laloos and Advanis who gain by dividing people on the lines of religion, region and language must disposed off to trash. I am from Himachal and in my state we have great respect for people from all other states. We have Subhas chandar bose nagar, we have shiva ji parks, We have Ras Bhihari Bose chowk etc. etc. We love Lata Mangeshkar. We go crazy when Sachin, Sourav, Rahul win matches. We have a chapter in our school text where we learn how Chatrapati Shiva Ji treated a muslim queen of a defeated muslim state in medieval India. And now people like Thakrays have created senas in the name of great Shiva Ji and their goons are openly beating, slapping people from other states. I am sure majority of Maharashtrians who are among most progressive and liberal people don't approve of people like Thakrays and their despicable brand of politics. After all for all these decades they sure have brought tonnes of shame and destruction for Maharashtra.
