Where was Uddhav when entire north was making hue & cry against maharashtrians and maharashtra government arrested RAJ and filed more than 50 cases against him?
It is loud and clear that RAJ have won battle and marathi manoos is supporting him like anything.
Uddhav who visited Krupashankar and Jain priest just to gather more votes didn't went well with Marathi people.
Shivsena should first decide now which way they should go. Marathi or Hindutva? Standing on both the stones will result in a break fall.
And please stop playing that 40 odd years tape. We all know that what Shivsena did and a true Maharashtrian will always be greatfull for that.
I sincerly request both Uddhav and Raj to come together and fight than fighting between themselves.

@drona exactly. And that Raj Thackery can not use "dirty" Indian style loo in jail , even for a day. May be he doesnt know that 70% of indians dont have access to toilets and that they defecate in open. And that is true for poor maharashtrian villagers also.
But here we have a rakshak of Marathi pride who cant use indian toilet, has luxury cars, own prime mill land and is a dollar millionaire.

Ambanis and Tatas and Sonai are not lecturing others about marathis culture and how it is theartened etc. They are also not asking people to beat each other.

Thats true. Probably Laloo, Mulayam and others defecate in the open since they claim to represent the poor people. When they come to mumbai i think you will see them next to the railway tracks in the mornings.
@prasadk You perhpas dont understand what irony is. Irony of Raj Thackery is that he does not care anything about Culture he claims he is fighting for. He is just fighting for his own personal cause.
And irony is that he would rather remain constipated than use an Indian loo. What a gear leader he would be.
Laloo, Mulayam...might be inept corrupt and downright failure and Raj Thackery will sure beat them in their game and become the most loved Marathi leader and then he will convert Maharashtra into his personal fiefdom where he willk hold court and his Goonda will dole out instant justice.
And yeah, he will proclaim that Indian loo is not a marathi culture

My belief is certainly that all this is politics. The intellectual and inquisitive Marathi mind should wake and realise that all this issue could have been done in a much better way.
I am taking this comment from a Muslim commentator at a web site. Allthough I am very sure that MNS is going the ULFA way and somewhere leaders like Abu Azmi are fuelling the divide in the nation.
''I feel this is politics at its worst. Two failed leaders who see the election coming nearer seem to have united to divide the country.
One is Laloo Yadav and other is Raj Thackeray and these are brothers in arm.
Laloo Yadav ruled Bihar for 15 years and bashed Upper castes regularly but not once talked progress. Raj Thackeray is a man in hurry. He knows Mumbai is failing and he knows Mumbaikars are fed up with infrastructure woes. What best thing to do rather than solve a problem find the cause of the problem? And as we all do we point a finger to a person regarding his ethnicity, religion, caste or language.
Let me dissect Laloo. He is not once calling for progress in Bihar or asking biharis to use this opportunity to develop Bihar. All he is doing is shouting that this is wrong. I will stop Trains. I will do chat Puja in Mumbai.
Let me dissect Raj. He is shouting how come few Biharis wrote this and said this and did that. Did he once say that Krishna(Mathura) and Ram(Ayodhya) both were also Bhaiyyas? And yet he may use Gita and Ramayana daily to elaborate he is a hindu. Isn’t Jhansi in UP and don’t so many Marathis live there? Isn’t indore in MP and don’t so many Marathis live there? Infact this entire belt has Maratha heritage.
Did Raj open a school? Did he worked with lower class Maratha people? One Raj Bihari is shot down and Raj feels his security is threatened but did he once think about the people he is making insecure.
This is all politics. Hindu, Muslim, Upper caste, Lower caste, Hindi, Marathi.
Sad part is that the biggest racists among all are the well educated people.''

My friend,
in last one month, we have seen how these north-Indian leaders manipulate the news and put the pressure on government. Do you still expect Raj to fight with some other way? not the ULFA way? Yes, it is politics, a politics done for better future of Marathi people and Maharashtra. Although RAMA and Krishna were from North -India, not every North-Indian is RAMa and Krishna. So stop giving references of centuries old people.
That Raj Bihari was carrying a pistol, Did you've ever experienced a psycho with pistol sitting with you in the Bus? Instead of thinking about Centuries old history and what's happening in Maharashtra, why don't you people talk about UP and Bihar's Jungle Raj? Or you've accepted it, and now want the same jungle raj in Maharashtra...
Answer me ... Why Didn't TATA chose Bihar or UP for NANO project? When Narendra Modi and Vilasrao Deshmukh were trying to get NANO in Gujrat and Maharashtra respectively, where were Nitish kumar and Mayawati? were they sleeping or watching a nautanki? They themselves want UP and Bihari people to remain illiterate and jobless.
Yesterday, i heard Digvijay Singh saying that , if Bihar and Jharkhand stop giving Coal , what will Maharashtra do ? He should understand that they are not giving the Coal for free, Maharashtra is paying for that. It will be better, if he can stop flow of migrants from Bihar and Jharkhand instead of COAL.
There are many thing to write, but i think Marathi people should talk through Ballot box in coming elections.

Shashank, No Politics is done for benefit of others. It is all done for the benefit of politician. I have not witnessed a psycho near to me I agree but I see this as part of a malaise that politicians want to grow. More Biharis might take to extremism. And may kill and die in Mumbai. This will be to advantage of leaders of 2 states. Maharashtra and Bihar. And probably enemies of India who still have never reconciled with an idea of India.
I am not saying that allow immigration into Mumbai. But for all the shout of immigration there are many marathis from rural maharashtra who also come to Mumbai.
As for Tata choosing Gujurat, we saw that they did not choose maharashtra as well, neither did IBS when they chose to open a school and many more business houses have taken the same way.
India should have 7 financial hubs across the nation. Probably Indore, Chandigarh, Vizag, Surat, Aurangabad, Greater Noida, Jamshedpur. I believe if rather than fighting on Marathi Bihari a visionary outlook can be created then a solution is there in sight.
Remember all this is with an eye on comin elections. Leaders like Digvijay and Laloo have 2 points to make. First wedge between Sena and BJP. Second forcing marathis to react more so that they can get a similar reaction in UP, MP and Bihar.
Wake up Marathi Manoos! Politics will not leave anyone.

Why don't we all take a lesson from South,more specifically Tamil Nadu.Will the Bhaiyas dare to go there in thousands ?Not at all b'cause no one will speak in Hindi with them.If they have to stay there they would have to learn the State language.
Unlike in Maharashtra,where we the locals speak in Hindi and accommodate them instead of Vica versa thus making it very easy for them,so much so that these people have no respect for our language.So the fault lies with us too,why do we readily give up our identity,no other state will do that whether its south or the east.
Its very easy to say all this is politics,but does anyone try to find out the root cause of these things.These underlying tensions are simmering far too long,so I feel Raj Thackeray is rightly representing our cause and all Maharashtrians should unite for this.

Hi asthipanjar,
How can you so sure that " editor of Mumbai mirror generally very sympathetic to Maharashtrian causes " ? and if he is, why do you really care about him? it is possible that some north indians have smashed his car on that day....
As far as MNS stand is concerned, i feel that, Maharashtra always thought about country first. But you cannot let your neighbors simply stay in your house and let them suck out your blood. Biharis and UP walas have lowered down the average daily wages in Maharashtra. Simply take an example of Security Guard jobs. More than 10 outsiders stay in single small hut of 10 by 10 feet. They work for Rs3000/- per month. How can a Marathi person with family can survive in this much salary. Marathis cannot compete for this salary and they loose this opportunity. Again, the security agencies that exist in Maharashtra belongs to north Indians. It is shameless that our government allows non-maharashtrians to handle security in our state.
I am damn sure that Maharashtra will support Raj with full strength, so that he can form government and clean out this rubbish and bad-mannered people from Maharashtra.

He should understand that they are not giving the Coal for free, Maharashtra is paying for that. It will be better, if he can stop flow of migrants from Bihar and Jharkhand instead of COAL.
There are many thing to write, but i think Marathi people should talk through Ballot box in coming elections.
Shashank, No Politics is done for benefit of others. It is all done for the benefit of politician. I have not witnessed a psycho near to me I agree but I see this as part of a malaise that politicians want to grow. More Biharis might take to extremism. And may kill and die in Mumbai. This will be to advantage of leaders of 2 states. Maharashtra and Bihar. And probably enemies of India who still have never reconciled with an idea of India.
I am not saying that allow immigration into Mumbai. But for all the shout of immigration there are many marathis from rural maharashtra who also come to Mumbai.
As for Tata choosing Gujurat, we saw that they did not choose maharashtra as well, neither did IBS when they chose to open a school and many more business houses have taken the same way.
India should have 7 financial hubs across the nation. Probably Indore, Chandigarh, Vizag, Surat, Aurangabad, Greater Noida, Jamshedpur. I believe if rather than fighting on Marathi Bihari a visionary outlook can be created then a solution is there in sight.
Remember all this is with an eye on comin elections. Leaders like Digvijay and Laloo have 2 points to make. First wedge between Sena and BJP. Second forcing marathis to react more so that they can get a similar reaction in UP, MP and Bihar.
Wake up Marathi Manoos! Politics will not leave anyone.
I support Raj bcos I think Raj's activities are needed, as it will result in pushing Laloo and other leaders to work towards progress of other states. otherwise they will sit idle like a buffalo and one day Maharashtra will be ruined with earthquake caused due to excessive weight of people.
As a Marathi Manoos I do feel that Mumbai and Maharshtra needs to progress but I feel somewhere that the demon in us is being waked up regarding all this issue. Killing of a UP labourer should have been the last thing to do but probably we will justify that killing as well.
Here is something I heard ---
The editor of Mumbai mirror is a Maharashtrian, and generally very sympathetic to Maharashtrian causes. His car was smashed by MNS activist who were generally breaking whatever they could find.
Brilliant!
Why don't we all take a lesson from South,more specifically Tamil Nadu.Will the Bhaiyas dare to go there in thousands ?Not at all b'cause no one will speak in Hindi with them.If they have to stay there they would have to learn the State language.
Unlike in Maharashtra,where we the locals speak in Hindi and accommodate them instead of Vica versa thus making it very easy for them,so much so that these people have no respect for our language.So the fault lies with us too,why do we readily give up our identity,no other state will do that whether its south or the east.
Its very easy to say all this is politics,but does anyone try to find out the root cause of these things.These underlying tensions are simmering far too long,so I feel Raj Thackeray is rightly representing our cause and all Maharashtrians should unite for this.
Hi asthipanjar,
How can you so sure that " editor of Mumbai mirror generally very sympathetic to Maharashtrian causes " ? and if he is, why do you really care about him? it is possible that some north indians have smashed his car on that day....
As far as MNS stand is concerned, i feel that, Maharashtra always thought about country first. But you cannot let your neighbors simply stay in your house and let them suck out your blood. Biharis and UP walas have lowered down the average daily wages in Maharashtra. Simply take an example of Security Guard jobs. More than 10 outsiders stay in single small hut of 10 by 10 feet. They work for Rs3000/- per month. How can a Marathi person with family can survive in this much salary. Marathis cannot compete for this salary and they loose this opportunity. Again, the security agencies that exist in Maharashtra belongs to north Indians. It is shameless that our government allows non-maharashtrians to handle security in our state.
I am damn sure that Maharashtra will support Raj with full strength, so that he can form government and clean out this rubbish and bad-mannered people from Maharashtra.
@shashankparab
If security agencies in Mumbai belong to North indians, what stops marathis form starting security agencies. As for as I know Security agencies are privately owned and they can employe anybody who they deem fit for economic reasons. Are you looking for socialism?
100% agree @shashankparab
@undercover
I will appreciate if you can use your real name and don't act like coward. Before replying please read my comment and think upon it. Let me explain it to you kid.
The common sense of companies state that they should give contract to the firm which quotes less. As you know North-Indians work on lower wages, obviously the firms they work for quotes lower cost for the companies.
Marathis cannnot work on that much lower wages, now dont tell me that marathis also should live with Rs.3000/ Month.
@shashankparab
Cowards are people who beat poor people on streets and those who support them in name of pride.
So Bacche, lets not even talk about bravery and cowardish.
My final comment to people like you is stop crying and whining like small babies and compete with those who you want to scare away. And dont give me this kiddish comment about 3000 rs/month. Grow up.
@undercover baby, That was expected, you Kid. So how much should i comment ? 30000/ month ? so that you will realize that i'm grown up. For you it may be a kiddish comment, but it's a truth. When you people don't have any point to support your stance, you throw comments like above.... Jago mere bhai, face the bitter truth. Humm, so you mean a What Rahul raj has done was a pride for north-indians. it's their Culture... At least Maharashtrians don't tie poor people to Motorcycle and drag them on streets.. Right ?
@shashankparab
The problem with you is that you imagine that everybody who does not agree with you, is against you and is a Bihari or UPite. For your kind information India (including north) is more than Bihar and UP. But you cant seems to see anyything other than UP and Bihar these days. This is called "persecution complex" Which you are currently suffering from.
So, Jago mere bhai...need se utho....
I have not even commented on Rahul Raj!! What made you bring him in!!
If you are so worried about security guard's salary, why dont you start a security agency and hire only mararthis and pay them 10k/month with possibly a car and driver!! The ground is wide open , what stops you!!
As I said, stop whining and start competing...in Business.. Business is not 9-5... it needs hard work and slogging.
So you are not Bihari or Upite ... Then who are you? i cannot see because you are under cover.
Similarly, if you are so worried about North Indians, why don't you make them realize whom to vote , at least then you will not waste you time here. It seems that you feel very bad when somebody talks about North Indian truth.
And now you will teach people, what is business, BTW i think your only business is typing.... :D And yes , you are a psychologist too...
Go home and take some rest, it will calm you down. And next time come with some strong points.
Thats it for the day. If you really want to argue just utilize your energy for wellness of other states and their people, instead of making others waste their time by commenting on your views,
Lets meet in new article... just put your comments in my inbox, i will gladly read it..
For sending the private message, you need to add the other user as your friend :). And i don't see that happening as i am sure both of you are maharashtrians :)
Humm, i will send a friend's request to Mr. Undercover. in fact, i've added him.
@shashankparab
How does it matter from where I am ?? I am an Indian.
I dont feel bad when somebody talks bad about north Indians , or south Indians, but I feel bad when poor people are beaten up on roads and buses burnt. And I feel bad when a "hate compaign" is started agianst whole communtiy.Hate makes one blind. We have enough of hate in India already..Hindu muslim, castes, ..now regionalism
I can also say that if you really want to do anything constructive for marathis, teach them to be competitive , not combative. Utilise your energies that way.
And dont make Mumbai like Bihar by spreading goondagardi here in name of protecting a culture.
what a nice country we r living in, we dont have even a national language, everybody is trying to make their local language as national language. All other thing we learnt from west, this small thing we rnot able to learn. We fought our freedon with non-violence, Hindi as one langugae, truth, respect. We follow everything except these. We are actually disrespecting Gandhiji in the country he devoted his life for. All credit goes to our so called culture savor Netaj .... Please keep on fight like this this.. we are being appraised for all these in west..
What is very sad here is everybody is baised & making false things facts for their own purpose. If a huge amont id being paid as tax from maharastra then maharstra is largest tax paying country, if coal is what they r getting from other state then, we r paying for that. it it u who is paying the entire tax.? then what the hell all those commercial malls owned by non-maharastrains, govt orgnztns, Ambanis, Birlas, Binanis, IT Comps blah blah r doing thr.
Grow up.
It was great Ambedkar who made constitution for one India not for Bihar & Maharstra.
And the same constitution says that preference to be given to the locals. Why our railway ministers ignore the constitution and give preference to regionalism ?
But i agree that violence is not the answer for this.
Well Guys, Thanks for commenting on my first news posted on Marathi katta. But main motive behind putting this was to unite Maharshtrians so that they can put pressure on their leader to unite against north lobby.
But sorry to say that the discussion so far have been carried away to Marathi-non marathi issue. Thanks to people like undercover who are going on commenting beside asked not to comment as his mindset is like aaj-tak. I guess he reads only english newspaper and watch only english news channels which are against marathi from the day one.
So I am not expecting anything good from such people and better let us not waste our time to answer anything to them. As he dose not have any point and always keep messing up issues.
Aplayala ekatra yenya shivay paryay nahi.
