Jiby, very similar thoughts, fully agree.

But lemme add something, why is this bigot allowed to speak like this and get away with it. There should be zero tolerance – its not some village market man, its India’s greatest metropolis.

About, the messageboards – i get pissed off big time man. I don’t read the f^&*ing comments these days. I wonder whos got time for all this comment counter comment stuff and the level to which they go down is gross.

Nina, but i heard the post had some impact in Colaba and Borivli ))

right now this is election time…he is saying all this for votes… shame that such kind of vote-seeking is still allowed in india…will the election commission do anything…i doubt it…everyone says he is a dying man and so let him be. his parochial outburst doesnt find takers but as for his communalist leanings…it continues to be dangerous. even a 100 of his men are enuf to stoke up trouble.

i have a mallu bombayite friend here who said his cousin took part in the 93 riots with shiv sainiks for vendetta…i had only one question to ask him. is this cousin educated and he said…”yeah he was in college then”. thackeray is a really prominent face of the indian psyche, maybe not the most recognizable…bjp, shiv sena, muslim league, kerala congress, etc, etc are all creations of the upper crust of society and continue to be nurtured also by these same ppl.

every progressive country is shedding religious identities…i just cant understand why it continues to remain so strong in india…i wont blame poverty…rich people and the middle class are the worst culprits!

bvn, on a side note ever noticed the message boards on rediff…every article there under discussion ends up getting tangled in hindu-muslim, north-south, resident-nri free-for all abusing sessions!

Mathew, imagine bangalore after those ‘namma kannada’ bigots gets organized. yup, let sense prevail.

BD, I completely agree here. Sena will have to tone down and finally disappear – this is inevitable – because bombay is very important and will move forward.

So the shivsainiks are winning in mumbai!!!bad enuf!
agree that kerala has not seen its share of riots, but i still respect mumbai for providing a lot of people with food/employment. to me the most important word is survival- and thats what mumbai helps a lot of people do – to survive.. .so that they can return to kerala later and lead a peaceful life

sachin, Papa Bear is not old, he’s just semi-retire-retard-ed.

BD, what about these tens of thousands of indians who flock to Saudi Arabia every year, same reason they flock to Mumbai. Affording a sarkar ? i can afford a viper – but thanks. which other indian city *except indian capitalism’s mecca – Ahmedabad* has seen so many riots as mumbai, which is as segregated as mumbai. About protesting, when did ‘mumbaikar’ protest last, did mumbai protest against BMC after the floods ? ‘mumbaikar’ goes back to work because there is nothing else the city dweller is capable of. let me not elaborate on kerala, but the awareness is such that in a state with 45% minorities, there was one riot in the whole of last decade.does the ‘mumbaikar’ know the name of his councillor, MLA, MP – his neighbour ? so guess there is nothing called ‘mumbaikar’, some people rushing here and there and not belonging to anywhere – and afraid of Shiv Sainiks ))

yes not many cities can boast of a sarcar, but neither do i beleive that many a city could have afforded one in any case!
bvn, inspite of this sarcar making all the required tactics on television,on stages against, non marathis, ppl from all over the country have flocked to mumbai! what does that say about his effect. Yes he has brought the city to its knees many a times from 1960, but tell me when was the last time that mumbai chose to shut itself due to a religious riot? and how long do you think any protest can last in mumbai, the spirit is in getting back to work and thats what the mumbaikar is known for. when saddaam was killed, we saw a protest in kerala, even a bandh! what use are these protests? for creating awareness? what do you think media did time and again by putting the scene of his killing over and again? today, protests has to be from an intelligent media… or against the non creative media which does not discriminate btw whats to be shown and what not!
