Will that stop you from going to America and earning in Dollars? NO.

You’re a lion in your house, but step out, and you’ll be eaten alive.

Can anyone tell me at least one thing the Shiv Sena has done till date that has benefited ANYONE else except them? ONE?

C’mon, this is a challenge for the misguided marathi manoos to answer.

Oh the Shiv Sena is such a menace, I fall short of words to say. They’re retards, and I don’t mean that in an abusive way. I mean it seriously.
They wanted the marathi men to gain exclusivity in selling vada pavs and driving rickshaws. I was shocked. Educated marathi men will now sell vada pavs for Rs 4 on the street?

Except the banking and the government sector, where procrastination is at it’s highest best, there are hardly any other sectors where Marathis work.

Bal Thackery has become the Rakhi Sawant of politics, with that disgusting appetite of wanting to be in news.

Under the name of nationalism, hindi speaking emperailsm is being imposed on maharashtraians. we don’t want any sort of development at the cost of our culture and language, otherwise our condition will be no way different from the Red Indians of America or aborigins of Australia.

“Twelve years ago, when India celebrated the 49th anniversary of our independence from British rule, H D Deve Gowda, then the prime minister, stood at the ramparts of New Delhi’s 16th century Red Fort and delivered the traditional Independence Day address to the nation in Hindi, the language which we have all learned to refer to (though the term has no constitutional basis) as India’s ‘national language’.

Eight other prime ministers had done exactly the same thing 48 times before him, but what was unusual this time was that Deve Gowda, a southerner from the state of Karnataka, spoke to the country in a language of which he scarcely knew a word. Tradition and politics required a speech in Hindi, so he gave one – the words having been written out for him in his native Kannada script, in which they, of course, made no sense. ”

I hate to do this. But I had to do this. I am myself not Marathi.

1) Annual revenue reported by the Emperor Aurangzeb’s exchequer exceeded £100 million in 1700 (twice that of Europe then). Thus, India emerged as the world’s largest economy, followed by Manchu China and Western Europe.

2) An estimate by Angus Maddison, formerly of Groningen University, reveals that India’s share of the world income went from 24.4% in 1700, comparable to Europe’s share of 23.3%, to a low of 3.8% in 1952.

Similarly your idea of a united India is also flawed. India was always united at least culturally. Don’t you know about the Maurya Empire? Even the name Bharat is thousands of years old and includes all of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

If north Indians in Mumbai had learned Marathi, respected local culture and adapted to the local culture there would have been no opportunity for Raj Thackeray’s goons. Why north Indians don’t do that?

@Sabihur – I agree with you, and wonder what exactly they are trying to do through these very violent acts of misplaced nationalism.
No good can come of trying to divide the country, except for a few extra seats in parliament!
