What is the contribution of Raj Thakeray to the deelopment of Maharashtra ? He should first ask this question to himself and then launch his campaign against the people of this city which is truly a cosmopolitan city. If he continues his attack against the people, then slowly and gradually the industrialista and business people will shift their base from Maharashtra to other states.

He may not have done anything, but as a politician he has made Marathis aware about how people who migrate to Mumbai from other states and live here for 40 years still remain more loyal to their home-states. He has made Marathis realise that they too should remain to be loyal to their home-state.

Bal and Raj are impotent b...rds, loyal to d-company. Maharashtrians are wise enough to know that it is their home state and they are already loyal to it. Marathas do not need to learn patritism,nationalism and loyality from cowards like Bal and Raj.This is the land of Shivaji maharaj who had shaken mighty mughal empire.Later marathas had defeated mighty british armies in historical battles.

Sabnis, ask all Maharashtrians in Gujarat and South India about their practices and policies. Find out what they are doing from Gudi Padva to Ramnavami and Ganesh festival. Dont be silly. Dont be parochial like Raj who has no brains left in him.

Dear Milind,
I am an NRI. So does that mean I should lose all affection for my homeland just because I am living in US? I am respectful and loyal to the country I work in. I pay all my taxes and obey laws of this country and that's my contribution to it. But nothing can overtake my love for my homeland. Same holds true for people migrating to Mumbai. Everybody knows Up and Bihari migrants are mostly from the low skilled group and they create law, order and sanitation problems. But they do so because your local politicians and authorities dont do their work. The cops take hafta from patri wallahs and allow them to encroach on public land. If the laws are implmented strictly, half of the immigrants will go back where they came from. So instead of filling hatred against your fellow countrymen, the politicains should try and get the rule of law implemented. This will take care of most of the problems. The constitution allows all Indians to settle in any part of the country. Nobody, including crooks like Raj Thakrey can question that. So instead of targeting immigrants loyalty, you should appreciate those working and living honestly in your city and implement laws strictly to keep criminals, encroachers, beggers etc. out. In US, there are so many immigrants to NY city evry day frm all parts of US. This does create problems. But people ask questions only to their leaders for the law & order problems & do not target their countrymen from any particular reqion.

Industry from the very beginning are free to go to whichever state they want to go. If hiring locals for unskilled jobs is such a burden to them they better go to the states from where the migrants originally come from!
