Pkl. afternoon, 3.50pm, Tuesday, 12th Feb. 2008 The beating of a few fruit vendors in the downstreets of Nasik under the blind rage of Marathi Manoos parochial provocations against Bhaiyyas of UP /Bihar eking out their savage poor existence as vendors hardly adds a tribute to the great Chatrpati Shivraj, in whose name these newfangled avataars of the revolutionary Maratha Warrior Shivraj they wish to fight for the dignity ofMaratha's Asmita! It was he ,as ,Sir Jadunath Sircar, a Bengali Doyen of historians and friend of Kashinath V. Rajwade of Dhuri who had said ,while writing of Shivraj that Hindu Race had produced a child from the lands of Maharashtra in XVIIth Century a revolutionary General who proved to the world that' hindu race was not only made of hewers of wood and drawers of Water...They could battle against Empires and create a new egalitarian polity too.' The proud heritage of Great Shivraj minimally requires of his XXIst protagonists Like Raj & Udhava of Shivshahi Madness to stop this fratricide against Bhaiyyas their poor cousins from north of Vindhya mountains. This is ..No tribute to Valiant Prince &revolutionary! D. Goel
