North India/South India
by True Indian on Feb 22, 2008 10:20 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

We all leave no choice in blaming 'North Indians'. But who is a north indian? In context of South Indians, NI includes people of Maharashtra too (some even call them Aryans). Now with Marathi issue, UP Bihar has been put into this group. Its absolutely rediculous. UP Bihar is part of Central India and even if UP Bihar is NI, arent there Rajasthani, Harya, Punjabi, Delhi? Tomor Punjabis will frive out UP Biharis saying that all South Indians should be kicked out of Punjab. LOL

It is so sad . Marathis at one time had a national vision and were in the forefront of the struggle to make us a nation. Remember great leaders like Gopalkrishna Gokhale and Tilak. Raj Thackerey and his ilk have totally destroyed the high respect in which Marathis were held all over the country. No one disputes that Marathi should be the prime language in Maharashtra least of all North Indians who are just poor labourers trying to make both ends meet. Raj has only shown that he is not only a cheap gutter politician but also anti national and has gone against the teachings of Maharashtra's great leaders like Tilak and Gokhale. No one should feel happy about what is happening to the north Indians. Remember.." do not ask for whom the bell tolls..it tolls for thee"

You are idiot Rohit and incorrectly refering to Tilak and Gokhale. Gokhale was in 19th century and Tilak was in early 20th century. Problems have changed and so the complexity. You can't compare the situation.

Basic point here is, what the leaders of UP and Bihar are doing? Thats our vision for Bihar and UP. Why no one is talking about that????

Stop abusing. Do the marathis now want to drive taxis and work as labourers. The problems are still the same ..one of national unity. Do not defend criminals like Raj.

True. Stop abusing and debate like mature civilians. If you don't have any valuable thought, be a passive spectator and read what others are writing.
