TIME TO STOP THIS HOOLIGANISM

We are learning from our childhood that india is the the land of diversity, and we proud of its ‘diversity in unity ’ and India is the largest democratic country in this world. Has this phrase lost its value now a days? These phrases, in my opinion, have lost its sheen and mere for a general knowledge.

Our country has world’s largest democracy and democracy means, in the opinion of Abraham Inchon , 'of the people, by the people and for the people.’ But recent incidence of cynic activity by few people is proving this wrong. Has india changed the meaning of democracy or democracy has lost its meaning? Answers, none know. If we consider the original meaning of democracy, it means anybody has rights to speak, to live throughout the country. Then, what is this shameful act going on by shiv sainiks ? Who are they to stop people living in Mumbai? Some say they are working for the welfare for Mumabikar. If so, where were they at the time of condemnable attack on taj when fear could be easily seen in the people’s eyes? Considering this reference, sena’s bangles rattle still echoing in my ears. If the cause of shiv sainiks are really so important, then they should have been the government of maharastra, feeding to hungry and providing job to the unemployed. But in this case, their heart beats don’t seem as aggressively.

Weak people are always get targeted. And exactly the same sena is doing. They are targeting the people from north india, blaming they are cutting their jobs. If so, does it mean that marathis can not compete for their jobs? Mumbai was not built in a day. It was built by Indian ,by their hard work and what we see it today and meant to live up by all Indian.

When SRK came forward and made a statement ‘ Mumbai for all’. Sena slammed this and declared him a traitor, and their declaration, was illogical ‘ everyone should do their own work rather than commenting on everything’ implying SRK should keep acting instead speaking on these issue. What a joke? They have right to say anything but others have not rights to say a thing. Oh god, nothing can be more illogical than this. Unbelievable.

Such remarks are really shameful. It very sad that despite seeing that someone has taken a brave stance and decided to stand up to hooliganism, no one was ready to speak in his favour! It is sad to see that few people are grabbing the power , which belongs to intellectuals and state also.

I want to challenge the very concept of Bombay belonging to Marathi manoos – not just from the perspective of India being a democracy and, but even from the perspective of history. Bombay, till 1960, combined Gujarat and Maharashtra till the two states were separated. What then came to be known as Bombay – that is, today’s Mumbai – was built literally by the Gujaratis and the Parsis, with the Marathi manoos playing a much lesser role. Mumbai means ‘ the city of dream’ and everyone has right to come and chase their dream.

It is time to stand up against this to end hooliganism. It is shameful to see that a few people are deciding the fate of Mumbai, the backbone of Indian industry, run by fifty percent non marathis.

The time has come to make Mumbai union territory instead of dividing the city on the basis of language and regionalism. The time has come for Mumbai to acquire the shape of their own character, free from these nonsense reasons. The character , where every Indian is safe and could go to fulfil their dreams.

It is time for marathis to come up and show their love and affections that they get from every Indian, just for the sake for india and its democracy. Applause to Sachin and Lataji. A few can not decide the fate of Mumbai. It belongs to us, belongs to all INDIAN.
