Raj Thackery and many other politicians are doing what Britishers did to India. "DIVIDE and RULE". People fight and support for the term "Son of the Soil". The soil is not of Maharashtra or UP or Bihar. Its Indian soil. If you dont belive in it than ask the Central Govt to issue passports to travel from one state to another.
And who is Raj Thackery ? He is the leader of 5th largest party of Maharashtra ( After INC,NCP,BJP and Shiv Sena).If wants to speak atleast get into the ruling party.

Raj Thackerey is not the first politician who has done this. Only difference is he is the first one that does not have support of Congress. If you are not from Maharashtra shutup, because we in Maharashtra care equally for the smallest and the largest party.

I live in Maharashtra for the last 15 years. I am not a marathi. I have got my education from here and livelihood as well.Thats not it. I have contributed to the economy of Maharashtra as well i am involved in providing free education for the financially deprived students of Sangli, Latur and Narayangaon.
Why just have prejudice against Biharis and UP's. People like me also should not be allowed in Marathi manus land according to you.
By 5th largest paty i mean. He doesnot have the vote of the majority of people. People like you might care because he is instigating the feeling of patrotism by distancing from fellow countrymen.He should be in the ruling party mean he should have the majority of people caring for him than he can speak on behalf of everyone.

Mr Parekh, if Son of soil is India soil then why you are not asking UPs and Biharies to develop UP and Bihar?
I have nothing for Biharis or UPites or nothi9ng against Marathis. Mumbai/Pune was not entirely developed by Marathis. Why ask them......why not all contribute for the development of underdevloped areas of India. be it Bihar,UP or anywhere.
If you have studied history. You must know what Divide and Rule is. This polticains (Not only Raj) are just adopting the same to get your vote. I am not against an indivudal. I am against the whole thought of rivalry that they instigating.
