QUIT MAHARASHTRA

By asking the non- Maharashtrians to vacate Mumbai, the politicians have made a complete farce of democracy. What I have read in history is that the people all over the country had united to fight for freedom for the entire nation. They would have hardly imagined that the country for which they had sacrificed their life, one day would be fighting amongst themselves for their states. Credit goes to some handful of politicians who have been successful in sowing the seeds of hatred for their selfish motives.

Recently, the whole nation had stood up for Harbhajan Singh for the remarks made by Aussie’s and we are repeating the same back in our own country.

It has always been known that people go where the jobs are and jobs go where the people are. Since time immemorial the people had been traveling from Village to City in search of work ( as depicted in books , movies etc.). Most of the parents take pride in saying that their children is working in U.S and U.K , then why criticize when one goes to another state in search of work. Isn’t it a double standard? Today people working abroad are not so insecure as those who have settled in other state within India. Is it the fault of people if their state is not so developed and cannot provide them job, work, food, security etc. They should either die of starvation or indulge into crime rather than work in different state and provide decent living to their family. In that case other countries are absolutely justified if they harass our people working there.

We stand for the biggest democracy in the world and are proud of freedom we enjoy in every aspect. Then why curb the freedom on mobility???? Why people fail to understand that it’s the people from all over the country who make the cities like Delhi and Mumbai a Metro. We Indians had always been very accommodating and have provided shelter to foreigners like Dalai Lama and Taslima Nasreen but today are showing dual behaviour towards our own people.

The foreigners had been taking advantage of our separatist and individualistic thinking and have ruled for long following the Divide and Rule policy. They understood we Indians could be divided on any petty issue and we have manifested the same time and again. Why we fail to realize that we are India and not Punjab, Maharashtra or Bihar. If one part of body is injured then pain is for entire body and to regain health it needs to be treated compulsorily.


Its very important to understand that if a person migrates to a particular state there’s always a give and take relationship. The person provides his service to the state , through consumption adds to the state’s revenue , pays rent, taxes etc. In return the state provides him employment, money, security, Peace etc. Then where’s the dispute???? There’s absolutely no ground of fight only if these politicians let us live in peace. How can one ignore that it’s the people from all over the country who have contributed to make Bangalore the Silicon Valley of India or bring IT boom in Hyderabad and Pune.


Its very surprising why everyone is so tight lipped on this issue ????? Why there’s no uproar in Parliament when hordes of ministers are from such states like U.P and Bihar. There is an urgent need of intervention before the issue gains ground and some myopic politicians of other state too start following the suit.
