Is Mumbai only for Marathi's?

Well, we are Indians and most of us do believe that every part of India do belong to every Indian.

But, you can't wish away the local petty politicos who thrive on the ignorance & innocence of the illiterate and imbibe hatred based on the local & non-local divide, to meet their agenda-less political ambitions.

Is Delhi for Delhites only ? .. No .. It is our National Capital.

Is India for Indians only ... No.. it is a great ancient civilisation. A city is not built in a day and during course of its earning fame, may be some outsiders have also contributed for its growth along with the vast locals.

Should such question be raised ? No. but activities by some have helped to raise such mean minded question and we are here to answer this. Such disputes may hinder our economic progress.

However, such issues may be ignored as far as possible as we have lots more subjects to consider in our daily life like price rise, wiping poverty, all round corruptions, secirity of our motherland etc. etc.

marathi manas =  marathi( dissect marathi = a new meaning ) + mind

any body having this mindset belongs to maha rashtra ( a nation within the nation )

Yes its Marathi man who gave the NAaRAA of JAI JAGAT, Mr Vinoba Bhave. If you know him, You might be also known to Bhudaan Yadgnya. Which proved to be most beneficial for north indians. And its marathi man who take initiative to make Hindi as national language according to the constitutiona of India. Whose name is B R Ambedkar. Do you know Where is the International HINdi University is situated in? Its in Maharashtra. So dont ever think that Marathi People are against Hindi people.

i will go for no. the metro cities are major attraction for people for their career opportunities. does any of other city has come up with this view then why these people are doing such silly things. all indians are free to go any where in the country they like to be and if it is about culture every person from ooutside carries his own culture and its his wish to adopt the present culture. we can not impose any restrictions on any one for this.

Who is not respecting Marathis. They are the great worriors of India. Bal Tak, Ud Tak and Raj Tak are infact degrading Marathis pride. They have brought down Shivaji from being hero of all Hindus to hero of Maharashtra and now only Mumbai. Your respect will only increase when you respect your Guests. I appeal educated Marathis to start Gandhigiri type of protest agaist this Tak family.

as they say , joshi saheb ...

yeh zameen ,, na mere .. ne tere baap ki ..

but  hum sab ke ( that is ultimate reality ) sabke baap ki..

No, as any other places in India, Mumbai belongs to everyone. But, despite we see the politicization of this issue which lands into nothing but the drift between Mumbaikar's; what I believe in is, there certainly the first right of the domiciles on their native land. Now, the criteria for the domicile should be revised and made clear to the Public which is the need oh the hour. So that there should not be further confusion amongst people who are the Mulcha(Original) Mumbaikar or Maharashtrian.( Not only Marathi)

MUMBAI   =  MUM    +   BHAI 

ALL FEMALES  MOTHERS ... ALL MALES   BROTHERS ...

SO APLACE WHERE WE HAVE ALL OTHERS AND BROTHERS  IS MUMBAI .. IT CAN BE ANY GEOGRAPHICAL TRACT OF LAND ..

Mr Nagalingngam first of all do you understand what you are talking. I have never seen anybody making such ridiculous statements. First of all get your funda right.

If all the states start saying that only their people can live in their state then we come to full circle in a way to the pre british raj days when there was no unity and the british took full advantage of it. The point I am trying to make is history could repeat itself. More than our saying that Mumbai belongs to all the Marathis of Mumbai should come out in open and speak against the shiv sena and MNS. This is not happening which in a way gives the impression that these people have the tacit support of the Marathi community which is not good for the country. As a law and order problem this can be tackled by the government as the demand by these people is unconstitutional but if the Marathis too vociferously oppose them then these elements will get isolated. They must understand that these elements are trying to play vote bank politics and have intention of doing anything good for their people.

If it will going on in the same way, then what will heppens in India, one day will come every state & every languge will ask for sperate country because there language is diffirent and India will no longer stay in the world map. Every one know India is country of diffitent language and diffirent religions this make us unique from other countries because unity is our strangth.

Please don't spoil it. We are the Indians.

well if it was so then soon india would be divided into states, ruled independently anf we will then have all sorts of stans...marathistan, punjabistan, tamilstan.....and foremost will be khalistan as they were already half way through before the bluestar. we should all stand up now against the polticians who use this british legacy of divide and rule policy. the distrust and anger is arosed by them suggesting that we are just ready to oust even the deserving if he is not fronm our community. if australians tell indians to go back our hackles are raised and we just sit back and watch on television the taxi of biharis being vandalised in mumbai. shame on you polticians. remember you have to face god one day...god who created us all equal

Mumbai is called the City of Dreams.

People would come with their dreams and convert the dream into reality !.

So mumbai belongs to everyone who dares to dream through hard work, compromise, happy and never die spirit................

Yes that's very much true. First of all we are Indians and everything comes under India is for Indians. So be united and give the message to the world that-

"Anekta me ekta, hai bharat ki vishesta"

With this unity and progress India will become the super power in next coming years, so be united and feel proud for our Great Nation.

India is the Best

No mumbai is not only for marathi's.when i heard that i thought  it is really foolish.

i think the day may come when these peoples might say that VISA is requires for entering in Mahrastra.... i cant understand how can they do this type of dadagiri wid all non marathi's..... this is really pain full to see these type of things happening in our country.....

if these type of things will happen in india then what will b the difference between ppls living in AUSTRALIA or other country nd pplz living in INDIA

this is a democratic country.......... so plz dont descriminate on the basis of religions..

excuse me sir hindi is our national language so v must learn that not marathi....if u go to any other city in india will u learn their language ??? no u will not ...

MUMBAI IS A PART OF INDIAN LIKE PART OF BODY WE R INDIAN PLEASE DONT DISCRIMINATE ..SEPERATE US..WE R ALL 1 ..HUM HINDUATANI,,

Marathi Manoos has a lot of time to waste time on thinking about its 'Pride'. I think slowly the Government of India should seriously start thinking of developing one or two other cities as alternate financial hubs. Encourage industrial houses to establish diversify their operations in those other financial hubs. Else make Mumbai an union territory and create a separate state capital for the state of Maharashtra.

NO, MUIMBAI is not only of marathi's

Firstly we all are indian first.Any indian can go anywhere in india and get settle.

What blood is body... what energy is to nature ........in tha same manner what mumbai(Maharashtra)  is to India........W e can not forget mumbai is india's financial capital......it is the only city where we will find not only marathi's bt frm every cast & community.so how can we say tht mumbai is for marathi's only.

 Here Pppl dnt know tht wat it actually means if they will get separted from the other cities .. they cant even thnk tht it cld lead them into disastreous situation if they will throw out ppl frm other cast & communities. take the case of Lungi bahago whch showd tht after sending them out mumbai faced lot of crisis nt in terms of daily work bt  also io terms of official & administrative tasks.

one improtant factor we can't neglect is tht we r living in democratic cntry bt there inspite of ths we have ryt 2 say those thng who r in favour of our cntry bt these politicians are not thnkng abt it bcoz we r tkng this matter seriously.it is our duty to take step aginst those ppl......here m nt sayng come forward & start  rebeling.....

we  can do it in other way like join politics. learn courses , treat everone as liyk yourself. join Police force, become IAS ....... spraed awareness amng d ppl dtarting from the grass root level to the high level......then only this mentality can change 

THEN only we Can Say MERA BHARAT MAHAN!

Well, I dont think so, i feel that mumbai is for every Indian who is capable of surviving in that expencive city. I have been in mumbai for more then 2 year but i havn't seen any moment that marathi and rest are fighting for their home town ie, mumbai.but some politician are igniting this issue and feeling their pockets.

Their are more then 40 lakh gujrati living in mumbai and this politician are targeting for all U.P. and Bihar people just because they are not their vote bank.

I believe all marathi should understand what this politician wants and what they want.

This is against the constitution of India

MUMBAI IS FOR ALL WORLD'S PEOPLE----------------

NOT ONLY FOR MARATHI

Nitin ji....

This debate was to have constructive opinions from all of us. If we don't discuss, it will be like we need to follow someone. Why people in India shy away from the real problems which is really hampering our progress. People should come out of those darkness & contribute to the welfare of the society rather than helping India to get divided.

India will never improve or develop till this kind of people are washed out. Our govt is weak to allow such cancerous and acidic people in our society.

Mumbai is already suffering as more and more businesses are shifting to other parts of India as they offer a lot more than Mumbai. Its time for people in Mumbai to realize that Mumbai is no New York nor London nor Shanghai. There is a lot of competition from other cities like Noida, Gurgaon, Delhi, Ghaziabad, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmadabad etc. This kind of acts will only tarnish the image of mumbai......

Kindly regret my ignorance if any.
Nitin ji & others - I am sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.

But pity it is - We are much divided Inside India than Outside :(

Yes Mumbai for marathis, tamilnadu for tamilians, andhra for Teluugu's oh sorry andhra for some others telungana for telugus, karanataka for kannadas. very gud. this is the attitude we need now. dragging us back to 15 th century. Recently in Southern railway salem division was created in TN saying that lot of stations under palakkad division is in TN so they need a special zone as salem divison again on regionalism/ linguistic. and we say by 2020 India is going to be a super power. sure we will be super power in infighting. i didnt see any difference between Taliban in afaganistan and this regional leaders. They need a telungana why? b cuz some body who cant be a CM in Andhra want to be a CM in telungana. need too loot state exchequer. nothing else. some body was talking abt others spoiling Maharastrian culture. IS that culture that fragile if some one coming elsewhere in the country can destroy it.Is that ur belief abt ur culture. is that ur trust abt it.

Pls dont blame the politicians. for personal gains they may go to any extent. We the people have to realise the real thing behind this political nonsenses. as long we live like fools they will play with us.

Wen mumbai was attacked we all felt that indians were attacked not mumbaikars only. Whem I came to Mumbai I was so proud to see Taj reopened/ re built Standing tall telling all those cowards who dont hav the guts to fight staright, see you cant destroy our heritage b cuz it is inculcated in us naturally,imbibed by us , as a way of living but not some body forced us to do it.

Anyway thanks kavitha for taking up the matter for discussion

C Kavithaa, 

RaJThakrey's opinion is almost diffrent from all other Thakrey's, plz listen to his speaches, he never said that Mumbai is only of Marathi people, he i\only says, that Mumbai is located in Mharashtra, the state which belongs to Marathi people. Concern is to respect culture of Marathi or any other state. As we all are indians its also our duty to respect each others culture. We also feel proud when Bill gates say's that " After Americans, South Indian people are the most intelligent ppl in the world" in same case all other state ppl should feel proud when richest person in the world says that Mumbai is the most expensive and worth property than the gulf and all among in World. Hope we are friends
