Are we blind? The topic should have been 'Is Shiv Sena justified in their actions?' Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj will remain an icon of Maharashtra. His acts of glory and bravery in the face of strong opponents will be sung in the folklore, irrespective of Shiv Sena. Here the question is that of Shiv Sena experimenting with how far they can arm-twist the population, before a counter reaction brings law of the land back to the forefront. Identity crisis of the leadership...and Rediff, you ought to throw your might behind 'Orkut', judging from the reactions to this post...your number will be next. The post should read 'What's happened to governance in Maharashtra?' The police force is so infiltrated with Shiv Sainiks and their sympathisers that they actually stood as bystanders whilst an unruly mob went about unreasonable destruction of property of unrelated people owning cyber-cafes'! Will the State government filter out the police force and restore law and order so that the ordinary man on the street can continue a civilised existance? Hate instigates hate. All opinions and expressions can be countered by intelligent debate. If you need brute force then some urgent introspection is required because nothing is permanent - natural justice finally catches up.

He was born in Maharashtra and thus will remain Maharashtra's icon...let the nation not steal that away from us. I could sing many more praises for him but that will make me drift way from the point in discussion...that of state supported acts of vandalism and media's attempt to draw our attention away from it to 'Orkut'.

Agree with you.......Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj was a national hero......He inspired not only Hindus or Maharashtrians.....but the whole Indians.......He inspired the Indians and the true Indians inspired......But some people are not inspired and will not be inspired like those who are making these orkut as a big issue...How can they claim that they are the true hindus.......In 1960 this people fought with the south Indians and most of these south Indians were Hindus.......What inspiration they got from Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj......Let them go and learn about Maharaj first......These are gimmicks by the unpopular nethas........They can make an agitation because the criminals can loot anybody in such a situation........Such people should be jailed....But our country is ruled by the so called criminals and we can expect nothing more from them
